Once you need parts, forget it. Too many issues!

Parts, parts, parts. My Discovery was received in Seattle and on a warm 75 degree day I learned that the air conditioning did not work (which is how it was received). It took forever to get parts and while the service department did provide a loaner vehicle, it wasn't equivalent to what I had and made my life a little more difficult. Not to mention the fact that they took the front seats out and the dashboard off in order to fix the AC. Removing parts like that means that they seldom go back together and I was right - there is now a perpetual squeaking from various places in the dash where it is loose. After more than a month in the shop and three attempts to fix the air conditioning, I'm done with the vehicle. Other irritating things - the double honk (squeak) when you try to lock the car while it's running (Land Rover doesn't let you - this is a stupid "safety" feature that is unsafe when it's hot outside and you just want the AC running with the pets in the car to drop off mail or run any other quick errand; the workaround is ridiculous). The instrument cluster and software are ok, but they periodically have issues (for example, making the map display in the driver's console sometimes works and other times does not). No remote start other than through the app. Finally, the storage space is nice but this isn't a SUV - not when it doesn't have a hitch and Land Rover wants thousands to install one (which you then have to go and get painted). Nice try, but not worth all the problems and waiting for parts.

Best car we’ve owned so far.

This car so far meets all of our needs. Plenary of room for the whole family to travel where needed. So many bells and whistles that we still need to figure out but, an amazing car.

Nothing comes close for the money

The ride, capabilities, comfort and features simply dont exist on any other suv for the money. Ride quality is luscious...yay air suspension. Power is plenty. Quiet as a library with every safety feature..And gas mileage is not bad. Blows away the german or Asian versions at this price.
