Land Rover Discovery V8i
| | Model of the car: | Land Rover Discovery V8i | | | General comments: | I bought this car several months ago after selling a small "hothatch" car. I'll never go back to owning a saloon type car again! The amount of interior space is amazing, there are pockets and flaps and holders everywhere. I am a golfer and have recently transported two friends of mine, three bags of clubs, trolleys etc with no real problems at all.The driving position is very comfortable with great all-round visibillity, although the windscreen is a little "low", sometimes causing problems when driving down hill.The 3.9 V8 delivers a huge amount of power, I used it recently to pull a very large horsebox, which was packed full of furniture. The car drove as if there was nothing attached. I also had to use it to pull my fathers car out of mud when he got stuck near my girlfiends house, the towing eye rig on the back of the car made for an easy way to attach ropes etc and with the transfer box set in low range, it made pulling the car out an almost effortless experience.On the motorway the car cruises so smoothly and quietly it's easy to be doing 90 without even realising it! All in all I love this car, the fuel consumption is not great, and the servicing can be expensive, but, that is the case with many "luxury" vehicles.If you want style, comfort, good looks and the ability to go and get your car filthy dirty and caked in mud......... Buy a Disco.... | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Slightly restricted front view.Fuel Consumption.The earlier Diso's had a manufacturers recall due to the plastic dashboard warping, a day at the garage will have this problem rectified, free of charge! My local garage even delivered the car back to my house for me! | | | Previous car: | None |
