Used 1997 Land Rover Discovery Consumer Reviews
Disco
has tons of problems, everything and anything can break at any given moment.
A let down!!
This has to be the worst vehicle on the road. Yes... it's pretty however it is only skin deep. It is the most unreliable...poorly made...under powered...over priced vehicle I have ever owned. The interior falls apart... it rattles. wind noise is poor. Both sun roofs leak. switches go bad. poor fuel economy... poor tow ability. The interior door pockets fall off. If you see one on the lot....run away from it! You can't afford to fix it. The dealer monopolizes the paets... you can't buy parts elsewhere! Look at a domestic SUV!

Love my Rover
This is the perfect "short-girl" SUV. The outside door mirrors are small enough to see over. It is easy to get in and out of with running boards. It is perfect for a family of four.
The repairs
Our Disco was great offroad, and not bad in the city. But the repairs. We babied our rig and at only 45K we had a main seal fail ($1600) and at 47K a gear box seal problem ($1400). We thought an extended warranty would protect us--it didn't, as even they won't pay for the full amount of these high priced repairs.
reliable
