We benefited from a 3k discount from the dealer a year before Discovery3 was introduced.

Dealer service costs are very high, but do your research & you should be able to negotiate a better deal.

On the road
Driving
A comfortable ride even on long journey's i.e.. South of France.
Performance
Has been solid & reliable. You don't buy this type of vehicle for speed, but it is practical & economic taking into account its weight & size.
-
Living with it
Reliability
A most reliable vehicle, but then so it should be considering its under 3 yrs old. You get the occasional glitches but no more than with any other make.
Image
The coolest vehicle in its class, without a doubt!
Comfort
The car is comfortable with a great ride height.

Security and Service
Security
It's never been put to the test (to my knowledge).
Service
Dealership is very good but that comes at a price. They've got high overheads hence that is reflected in their pricing structure. It pays to shop around!
