Land Rover Discovery 2.5 Td5 GS 5d (7 Seat) (2003/52) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good value for money… Some good deals available due to the new model which arrives soon.
Costs
Returns a reasonable 30mg. Monster fuel tank is a bit scary when filling up, but it extends your range. Servicing is quite expensive.
-
On the road
Driving
Nice Steady Drive… Not the fastest thing in the world though. Parking is a bit of a nightmare. Buy one with Park Control!! The switches on the dashboard are hidden by the steering wheel.
Performance
Satisfactory on & off road.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Have had a few niggles.
Image
For me its the 4x4 to be seen in. It always turns heads and raises a comment or two.
Comfort
Eats up the miles. Back doors are narrow and it's awkward for young and elderly to get in and out.

Security and Service
Security
Standard system appears OK.
Service
First class service from Parks in Ayr. Even valet the car when being repaired.
