Pros: High Build quality, Super off road
Cons: High parts cost High fuel consumption
The Bottom Line: Well made. Good handling and a great build quality. Maybe the best Land Rover ever made
Do you want a REAL SUV? Consider a Land Rover. After experiencing problems with lesser vehicles in severe conditions I will always have one as a utility truck. Without question the Discovery 2 is the best by far!
The first sensation I noticed is...

Pros: Tough car; superb handling both on- and off- road; luxury appointments
Cons: Give me the gas! Snob stigma
The Bottom Line: In this review, I have written a true story about an accident in which I was driving a Land Rover Discovery.
In this review, I won't be discussing the technical details or gas mileage or reliability of the Land Rover Discovery. I think other reviewers have done an excellent job of handling that so far. Instead, I'd like to relay a story about a major accident...

Pros: Well built, sure footed, stable
Cons: A little big for trail work
Let me first say that I don't own a new Discovery, but I've had the opportunity to drive one both on and off road, and I (in my D90) have been on several Rover 4-wheeling excursions with people in SII Discos. I view that as ample qualification to write...

Pros: Rules off-road, turns heads everywhere else.
Cons: Earns its reputation for mechanical unreliability
Love it or loathe it, the Land Rover Discovery (or "Disco") inspires more passion than any other SUV. Here are five reasons why I'm still driving my 1999 Disco II, along with five reasons why I kinda hate myself for it.
1. I CAN'T...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great control in bad conditions, great looking, and feels like looking down on traffic
Cons: Low gas mileage, sluggish acceleration, and price
The Land Rover Discovery truly is the perfect blend of a Hummer and a BMW. Off-road is a breeze because of standard full-time 4x4, high ground clearance, and a powerful V8. Yet, the tight and precise drive makes it easily maneuverable in city...

Pros: great car
Cons: none
Wow! This car is a whopper of a goodie. I can't explain to you what this car has done for me. I live in Boston so the winters can get pretty ruff, but the weather is no match for this car. When I was in the army, I drove a jeep with chained tires and...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: The general population still thinks they can't afford a Land Rover
Cons: The government still has not agreed to issue every blue-eyed, pony-tailed, lacrosse playing, Ivy Girl a Land Rover.
My friends and I were shocked when a recent surprise visit to my parent's country home turned up quite a bit more than the usual cheek pinching and back slapping I've grown so accustomed to over the years. Apparently the neighbors (we find so...

Pros: Great steering, good control
Cons: none
This car has a V8 engine with 360 horse power. By giving four wheel drive and good traction, I suggest this car for your family when you drive on road trips or if you are venturing in rugged terrain. The new model has stereo in the back for head phones...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Large interior to hold many passengers/cargo.
Cons: V8 Engine drinks gas rather quickly.
The Bottom Line: Great truck for those who want something a little bit more stylish and a little less rugged.
I love my '99 Discovery. I've driven the Explorer, and Grand Cherokee, Pathfinder and 4-Runner and none compare to the Land Rover. The Land Rover is a truck that drives like a car. It is not as "bumpy" a ride like it's competitors. Also, the amount of...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Stylish, good off road, great pickup for a SUV
Cons: A bit expensive!
The Land Rover Discovery Edition is definitely one fine automobile. Before I say anything else, I will say that this one is worth the price. This vehicle has basically any option available for any car. I'm sure if you wanted to pay the price you could...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Range Rover!, Extremely capable handling
Cons: Gas guzzler, rather small inside
Instead of buying a new Dodge Durango, I took over the lease on a friend's new Disco Series II. Impressive vehicle. The price on this truck was about $42k, considerably more than I was going to spend, but the lease deal was good, so I took it.

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Excellent off road, Great 4WD system, Nice interior
Cons: Slow, top heavy and blandly styled
The Land Rover Discovery is a nice truck, but it is over priced. A Jeep Grand Cherokee is much better and costs significantly less.
Don't get me wrong, Land Rovers are very good off road machines possessing a high level of technical sophistication,...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Offroad, Seats 7, very comfortable
Cons: Gas Mileage, Acceleration, Height
Wow! That's all I had to say the first time I took this off road. It climbed, and descended hills as guys in a jacked-up jeep sat with their jaws opened. I can't say enough about how great this is off road. The climbing power and the hill descent...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No
Pros: Cool Looking, Great Offroad
Cons: Expensive, Frequent Repairs, Cramped.
The Bottom Line: For the wealthy actual offroad driver only , unless you have the time and funds to keep up with the expensive, frequent repairs.
I bought a 1999 Disco II, coming out of a Dodge Durango. I wanted something unmatched offroad. After getting rid of the road-designed, uniquely-sized (and pricey) Goodyears that it came with, and putting on some semi-aggresive Cooper Discoverer MT's, ...

Pros: options,cargo space,image
Cons: reliability,gas mileage,bumpy ride!!!!
The Bottom Line: Dont buy this car if you expect to drive it more than fix it!! it might be beautiful but it really is a hunk of overpriced, pretentious CRAP!!!!
i bought this car when i could no longer stand the whole mini-van thing. with 2 kids this car seemed like great alternative, cool image, and great cargo room, lots of windows, all the bells and whistles.i did not buy with the expectation of perfection,...
