Discovery
| | Model of the car: | Discovery | | | General comments: | This truck is good looking, however, it has some problems. First the cross section on the windshield is too low and obstructs vision. Constantly have to tilt your head to see if there is a green light. Also, the pillars in the rear quarter panels also create severe blind spots.Quality is just O.K. Lots of little problems that never go away despite the service depts best attempts to fix them. Odd things like service lights popping on and off. It always seems to be a "bad sensor."The overall ride is compliant but I've noted a drop in comfort since the truck has aged. As with all trucks, its gone from a nice tight ride to a bouncy-rattling ride.If your looking for a quick truck (I know an oxymoron), dont buy this one. The only "quick" Rover truck is the 4.6 This one doesnt have enough juice @190hp. It is slow. The weight to HP ratio is very poor.Just after leasing this vehicle Land Rover is now offering a $399 lease. I guess its a good deal for that price. But this is my first and last LR. If you love the look of this truck, great. But there are so many more better values, and better performing 4X4's. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | considering the size of the vehicle, interior space is quite poor.Paint scratches when you sneeze on it.Tires will dry rot within 1 year. We have a lot of heat | | | Previous car: | You cannot compare Land Rovers to the new Toyota Seqoya (sp?), 4 Runner or Suburban. The Tahoe |
