Second-Hand Land Rover Discovery
Used Land Rover Discovery
The original farmer’s favourite! No longer the Range Rover’s ugly and not talked about cousin, the Discovery is a serious contender for any 4x4 driver who wants a car with technical prowess and handsome looks. After a few adjustments, the Discovery looks and drives as well as pretty much any big 4x4 on the road. It won’t give you the finest leather or wood like the Range Rover, but it will give you insane practicality, huge power reserves and a definite presence in any situation.
What You Get
Land Rover never messes about with kit on any of its cars, and with the Discovery they really went to town. Very powerful Harmon Kardon speakers are as standard, as is 7 seats and a very attractive and well-built interior. The outside is rugged, handsome and tough, but that doesn’t mean it’s designed purely for the fields; this is a car for the roads, too. Climate control, ESP, four-wheel-drive, heated front and rear screen, rain sensing wipers, it’s got the lot! A used Land Rover Discovery really does make financial sense.
How it Drives
On one hand, they are fabulous; comfortable, excellent over bumps and well damped; on the other hand, they can be very poor through the bends due to the air-suspension which tends to allow a hell of a lot of lean. If you want a sporty drive, the Discovery probably isn’t the 4x4 for you. But if you want a car that will transport your family in supreme comfort and safety, then there’s few cars on the road that will even come close. A second-hand Land Rover Discovery is great for those of you wanting a large car that can come in reasonably lower compared to several competitors. Couple that with its sheer size, impressive engines and build quality, and there’s no surprise why they’ve been so popular over the years.
