2000 Land Rover Discovery Series II SE review from North America
"A solid SUV for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some slight issues addressed upon purchase. Replaced the handle to one of 3rd row seats which was snapped, also adjusted a clasp on one of the same seats which would not secure properly (and could not be used).
Rear tail light had internal water.
Drivers door had rod problem, causing a loud snap to occur when opening.
General comments?
The Bad:
Poor gas mileage overall
Can be quite loud on the freeway
Opening windows while driving adds to the overall noise
Truck-ish feel
The Good:
Excellent power and acceleration
Handles well for its size and weight
Comfortable
Bigger than it appears on inside
Well serviced by dealer (esp under warranty)
No major issues requiring expense or time in shop
Amazing off road capabilities
