So far..so good!

So far our Land Rover Discovery has been great! We are still learning how to use all the features, love the way it handles, and the turbo engine has lots of power. We are very satisfied with this purchase. Very roomy!

Nice car to own

Only one set back. Bad gas mileage. Seems like we are always putting gas and has a small gas tank. Wish it had a bigger tank.

A feeling jumpped into a comfortable luxury

I traded in with a Jeep Grand Cherockee. This is a comparable experience since i bought a MB C300 certified one 3 years ago. Everything is smooth and sturdy while driving. Excellency on Discovery Sport is everybody says wow.

Most unreliable vehicles we have ever owned

Made the mistake of buying two . 2017, 2016. Both been to dealer so many times we count. Have to wait for weeks to get them in for appointment. Only dealer in Edmonton. 2016 front wheels bearing replace, trammison valve Body replacement, two injectors replace, engine codes , water in taillights replacement two times. Still have bad transmission lag. The car making a turn it start rolling then nothing for three to five seconds like it is in neutral . It get worse in colder weather. It only has 16000 kms on it. 2017 battery replace. It was at dealer three time for the Electrical problem . Six months to diagnose the battery replacement. Roof trim coming off. The nav system died had to go in for up date. They gave me a new Jaguar for a loaner for two weeks it had electricity problems with it when I had it radio stop working😂😂. The are every costly to service . Oil change around $600.00.First year $900.00 the second they need to change brake fluid. 9000 Km on the 2017

just need a revamp

love this car but hard to match value with other in class. Anything less than HSE might as well be a base model Honda. Interior needs more weight and quality feels very cheap

1st and last Land Rover

This is my first and definitely my last Land Rover. My Discovery Sport has been in for more repairs than my last three vehicles combined and it only has 15k miles on it. It seems that this vehicle is susceptible to battery drain if it isn't driven long distances regularly. A warning message will appear on the display (Low Battery) and if the vehicle is not driven a long distance or the battery manually charged at that point, systems will begin shutting down. I would not recommend this vehicle as a grocery getter or for short commutes.

STYLISH, COMFORTABLE AND GOOD PERFORMANCE.

Great car, beautiful inside out, very comfortable, great performance overall, only downside is acceleration is a little slow, but once it get's going it's a great engine.

Great alternative to an evoque

I decided to upgrade from my mustang to a discovery sport before I leave for college this summer, and im so glad I did! This car is the perfect size for me, and easy to maneuver. The panoramic fixed glass roof is also really nice, and it has basically every feature you could want in a car (heated and cooling seats, an optional third row of seats, plenty of charging ports, etc.) The only drawback is the lag when you press the gas, but it?s less noticeable when you put the car in sport mode. I can also see this car being really great for someone with a family. I was also looking at evoques, and this is a much better alternative if you don?t want something as flashy as a Range Rover ( the reason I ultimately chose the discovery). I highly recommend watching reviews on youTube before purchasing! They?re super helpful!

Nice but not worth the price tag

It drives well, comfort and styling are good and on long trips you're thankful, but build quality is worse than a Kia or Great Wall and electronics bugger up all the time, more rattles than death valley.
