Bad Points: There are very few and even they are minor problems
1. the added lights on the bumper will eventually fog up in moist and warm clmates
2.The windscrean is really narrow reducing all rounnd visibility
3. there are too many being used around the city by mums who need to collect their kids from school and will never be used for off road tasks whish is what they were born to do. not to briliant on sandy beaches it does struggle abit with sand dunes due to its weight
4. expencive to mantain if you are on a budget

General comments: An overall good 4x4 exelent handling and acceleration also looks better than the old discovery's with fewer problems.

The suspension is nice and soft and absorbs impact well it also has a nice suspension raising system which when the engine starts rises about 4 inches but can be increaced if desired with a press of a button.
The Engine is my faveourite part because the car was in the last batch of Land Rover Discovery 2's it has an improved TD5 with jaguars touch added to it as a result the accelleration for a car of it's size and weight is amazing it also has a topo speed of 150 mph and has asily reached 125 fully loaded with heavy tools and 7 people, its engine is also used in the first discovery 3's that cameout that year but because of the extra weight hasn't got the acceleration or the speed of the late disco2. The aircon system is amazing even in extreme heat it won't fail to freeze you instantly with ice cold air which can either be drawn in from outside or recycle air inside by sucking in hot air from the car and pumping it through a cooling system. It has an added decent control which is also exelent even on incredibly steep drops it won't ever lose control gently chugging you down to the bottom with ease. passengerwise because of the shape you get buckets of room with pleanty of spac to move around because its so wide the back seats are proper passenger seats instead of the little park bench you usually get with most 4x4's.

4X4 wise this is the perfect car if you plan to go off road its suspension system will keep you nice and high away from any rocks or anything that will cause damage including if your town gets mildly flooded you can keep your exhaust out of the water it's never once got stuck or given up on me it has always managed to pull itself out without the aid of another car or tow rope it has a low center of gravity wich is unusual for a car of it's size making it alot harder to roll over and the low range gears are exelent even on a wet surface it will steadily carry you up any hill or mound without any mayjor mishaps so all in all this is a wounderfull car.

There’s a 2.7-litre V6 turbodiesel and a 4.4-litre petrol V8.
