My rover is set up for serious offroad. I love everything about it except for the fuel ecomomy and the price and availability of parts.

I have tested many Land Rovers and found that the older bodies are amazing for lux style. But the engines have problems at 70k new head gaskets. If you're willing to put 2000 into it you will be fine. Overall they are amazing and very, very safe and fun to drive.

I bought the car at 38,000 miles, I love it, it is very stylish, unique too. Since the warranty ended at 50,000 miles, I've had $3,300 in repairs on the engine. FORTUNATELY I purchased a Land Rover extended warranty to 100k miles for $2,100. As the mechanic told me (he wasn't a sales guy) - "a man who purchased a land rover and no extended warranty is a fool". so bottom line is, buy it, have fun, if you can't afford the warranty, buy a Toyota.
A love/hate relationship

I absolutely loved my Discovery at first (purchased new in '99) - it's a joy to drive, looks great, and can go anywhere. Too bad it requires service every 2-3 months and breaks down frequently. I've been stranded 4 times - towed to the dealership 3 times, the 4th time it couldn't be towed because I was in the middle of a desert and I had to fix it myself. Last year, the paint started peeling and the dealership blamed me! It had been repainted before being sold to me, but I was unable to prove it. Be careful...
Always a breakdown waiting to happen.

I loved this vehicle when I first bought it. After about 30,000 miles, I had to have both sunroofs fixed twice, the power steering pump was replaced 3 times, the engine leaked oil, the radiator leaked water, it was just a total mess. Everytime it rained, the headliner got wet. Turned out that the top of the truck had to get re- welded. I would definitely not recommend this truck. You are always left wondering what is going to break next, the abs light started flickering on and off, the check engine, and engine oil lights would come on and off. A total nightmare, thank god I have sold it and now it is somebody elses problem.
