1998 Land Rover Discovery LSE review from North America
"This is how an SUV should be!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought the Discovery with a bad head gasket at 103,000 miles. Replaced all of the engine gaskets and have no issues with the vehicle since.
General comments?
This vehicle handles very well, and is extremely comfortable to drive on the highway. Handles corners and bumps very comfortably, and for an SUV it is the best ride I have ever been in.
Off-Highway (dirt, gravel, grass, mud) the vehicle handles surprisingly well! As with on-highway driving, it is very comfortable and you can hardly tell the difference between driving on highway vs driving on gravel.
Lots of interior space! With the jump seats we can fit 6 adults comfortably and 7 with some sacrifice. Fits a family of 6 (2 adults 4 children ages 3-12) very well! Great for trips to the beach or pool!
