Driving
Lofty driving position and excellent visability. Boby roll is excessive and performance isn't great for a 4l V8
Performance
Way better than a diesel, but still no rocket ship. Fantastic noise though when bubbling around town.

Living with it
Reliability
It's a Landrover, so regular maintenance is essential. Floor plan is prone to rust. Bobywork is excellent as it's aluminium.
Image
Still looks good at 12 years old. Disco's still have more cred than most Japanese iron.
Comfort
Door handle digs in your leg, but massive headroom helps when your 6'4"".
