So Far So Good!

I purchase this vehicle used from a dealership in Florida. So far so good! It has been very dependable and it doesn't seem to have any of the issues that some of the other reviews I've read have had. I'm 6'4" so the interior design is a bit tight but that's nothing new to me. I enjoy the heck out of driving this vehicle on and off road. It's my first full time 4-wheel drive and I'm extremely impressed with the handling in rainy/bad conditions on the road. It feels like I'm driving in ideal conditions even when they are less than. The stereo is the best I've ever heard in a vehicle from the factory! Real high quality! The looks are unbeatable! Anyway, I'm enjoying it! So far so good!

Disco SE7

I am not sure what the negative fuss is about in relation to Land Rover products. My wife & I purchased an '04 LR Discovery SE7 for the purpose of a daily driver that will seat 3 children comfortably, yet is capable of handling serious off road conditions-as we are very outdoor oriented. We made the correct choice! Yes it is an expensive vehicle to both purchase & to maintaine; however, if you DO maintaine the vehicle properly (just as you should any vehicle) you should be issue free. We have never been left stranded, nor have we had any catostofic failures. My Disco is fast approaching 100K miles & I intend to put that many more miles on it. Amazing offroad & equally amazing on the Hwy.

What's all the fuss?

I've owned a few Discos and have loved them all. There may be some troubling anomalies out there but I've not found one. Regular maintenance seems to be the key element, and catching anything suspect early on. My 2004 SE has 202k miles and is clean as can be. Fixed early signs of lifter noise right away (at 100k) by doing an oil cleaning flush and new Castrol. Been silent since. I replaced a right CV joint on my '96 SE7 (my favorite because they were still putting 5-speed manuals in them). It drove my family for 265k until I was forced off the road one day at 65mph and rolled 6 times. I could still open all 5 doors. Landed on its wheel. Amazing. Had two others. Loved 'em all.

Great So Far!

Great to drive, you've got "vehicle" around you. Can see the whole road around and in front, others want to get around to know what is actually going on in front of us. Fuel economy lacking, but if that's what you want, it's simple... Look Elsewhere! Customer service at my dealer is outstanding, "Pampered yet Professional". So far I've gotten what I've paid for. Will see this winter and following my first Land Rover Dealer Sponsored "Wheels event" where they help you to fully understand and appreciate the abilities of this true off-road vehicle.

This is my second Land Rover, and I love it. Amazing build quality compared even to Lexus. Only problem was a squeaky seat that dealer repaired. Navigation system is great. Air ride is great. Disagree with Edmund's snob appeal opinion, when compared to H2/Tahoe/Denali comparably equiped the Disco is a better buy with better resale and by far better dealer service. Dealer provides free loaner and free pickup/delivery for service (at over 90 mi each way .. AWESOME!) Mileage is same as Tahoe I've driven and far better than an Escalade I drove. I'd buy another, but doubt if this one will wear out soon.
