Previously I had owned 2010, 2012, 2013, I still have these vehicles. Waited 4 months for the 2017 Discovery. To tell you the truth I hate driving it....the stirring is very loose... can't be fixed....Also filling the gas was so frustrating. It would continually shut off the gas. It would shut off several times...took forever to fill the tank. Took almost a week to be fixed

Comfort, style, technology, and ride are tops

This is my third Land Rover purchase. I traded in my LR3 and kept my LR4 and added this Discovery LUX. Since I wanted all the newest features I went for the LUX model and I am not disappointed. The new technology is excellent. The safety and parking features are a huge plus. The dealership pulled out all the stops when we got it home and found the pump for the windshield washer jets was not working. They drove us a loaner, picked this one up and drove it back to the dealership and fixed it, then brought it back the same day. My only complaint is the activity key. It is not working so the dealer has ordered us a new one and we will try that. I have to admit that having the back hatch open and close by waving my foot under it is a huge plus when my hands are full. And being able to see the car and all it's surroundings on my screen while manuvering the vehicle is a plus. But the best by far is the smart cruise control. No more braking and restarting the cruise when I come up on a vehicle but can't pass yet. The car slows down until I am far enough away and then it speeds right back up. The changeable ambient lighting in the car is fun too!

We have had our Disco for 3 months now and never for a moment have we regretted the purchase. Before ordering the Disco we drove MANY other luxury models and were leasing a Benz. Nothing compared to the comfort and capabilities of the Disco. We were trading in our pick-up that was used to tow our 22' sailboat, and the Disco has taken on that duty with panache---never a groan or complaint. The dealership and sales rep were very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. I am certain that we will be repeat customers of Land Rover. The quality and craftsmanship are unsurpassed. UPDATE: After 15 months of ownership, my original evaluation stands. Our Disco continues to serve our needs admirably and still looks brand new. We continue to get many comments about the vehicle and gladly refer folks to the dealership in San Antonio, TX. UPDATE #2: We have now owned our Disco for 4 years and the initial evaluation still stands. We have had nothing but routine maintenance for the entire tire time--aside from a couple cactus flats from moving our boat. During our last trip to the dealership, our sales rep took us for a ride in a Defender. My husband's eyes lit up and I have a feeling this may be our next vehicle when it's time to trade in our current one. I am certain we will not consider anything but a Land Rover product. We remain impressed with the quality--it is unsurpassed.

So initially the infotainment was horrible but the latest update made it at least average. The car rides great. It handles snow with no problem. Recently during a big rain it started leaking down the front center light area. I have never had a new car leak from a rain. Very disappointing Update after 1.5 yrs. overall love the Disco. Some first model year quality issues - Infotainment much better but several times a year you have to go to the dealer for an update. Windshield leaked during a rainstorm but the dealer quickly fixed it. This is the best vehicle I have owned. Even with the issues Live It!

This was my dream car. I didn’t want anything else. I bought it. Was happy for a couple months. Then it started to leak through the windshield just like everybody else said. They replaced it within a week. 6 months later it’s leaking everywhere else now. The carpet is soaked everywhere and it smells. You can hear the water inside the panels of the car swooshing around every time I brake or accelerate. The dealer WARREN HENRY in Miami is TERRIBLE. They have a 6 week wait for service. I’m going to sell my car next year before the warranty is up. I probably won’t buy a Land Rover again. And I’ll never buy from Warren Henry.
