General comments?
I have owned a number of vehicles throughout the years, from luxury to performance cars and everything in between, but I honestly say that I have never appreciated or loved a car more than I do my 1999 Land Rover Discovery I. Not only has it been the most reliable and most trouble-free car I’ve owned, but also the one that has served me and my family the most. We’ve taken numerous long trips in it, through mountain roads and barely driveable off-road trails, through snow and through deserts, and it’s never let us down once. At 79,000 miles, it’s still my daily commuter, and although I own two other vehicles, one of them a Land Rover LR3 V8, I still prefer to drive the Disco. This car has character.
