Performance...depends.

For trips to the mall, etc., this is a pretty poor choice. Even though I'd read all about the bad gas mileage I underestimated how much it would really bother me. BUT, if you have an inkling for off-roading, the performance is tops. We've not had any (knock on wood) problems yet (bought '99 New)

Not Too Bad

Not an overall bad vehicle, yes the gas mileage is not very good, but I knew that going in. My wife primarily drove it and liked it also, my Daughter "loved it". Definately a "head turner"

Love my Land Rover

I'm an outdoor enthusiast, and this vehicle enables me to carry my kayaks, pull my sailboat, haul my mountain bikes and go off-roading in style & comfort. I've got 4 grown kids and they all fit comfortably, especially with the stadium rear seating. I love the amount of light & visibility with the dual sunroofs & moon roof windows. I can go off-road by day, and am proud to take out a date in the evening. Issues I've had are with typical vehicles going on 10 years - air springs & radiator replaced. And she drinks more fuel than I'd expect for a compact SUV. But great experience overall - recommend.

Unbelievable! Mess

We purchased our DiscII right before Thanksgiving. I was so excited because we were getting what we thought was a great deal on a luxury truck. We bought the DiscII with 100k miles on it. We didn't think this was a problem because we have a 99 Pathfinder with 165k miles on it, and it has never been in the shop once! Three weeks after purchasing, (we didn't have the title yet!) while driving at around 25 mph, I heard a loud thud, I thought I had blown a tire. If only! The drivetrain and transmission somehow broke loose and busted through the transfer case. Gaping hole in bottom of truck, fluid everywhere, totaled truck! 8000k in damage. Will not buy another. Unreliable and disappointing.

I have 15K on mine since buying it. Service has been excellent at the local dealership. Excellent vehicle overall.
