Love how sturdy it is. Performs well - especially in poor weather. I always feel safe. It is fun to drive a great pick up. Love the heated steering wheel and seats. Not bad on gas mileage either. Only issue was an oil leak which was covered under warranty.

Stylish, just not my type.
The car is really nice. I am a super fan of the space and design of the car however, I feel it is a bit outdated for 2016 in comparison of some basic, non-luxury vehicles I have seen. It is quite bouncy as I ride on my rugged street and I wish it was a little heavier than what it is. Overall the reliability is cool, I never had any issues in the snow/icy roads. Hoping to replace soon, need a different look and feel.

Discovery sport Land Rover very reliable!
The car drive very comfortable and never had any problem with it. Very smooth on the road, drove from FL to NY and back and no issue. Gas economical, just not more because need to use supreme gas for the protection of the engine. Love my car and recommend it!

Lots of creature comforts and great handling.
There are a lot of creature comforts in the car such as heating and air conditioned seats, auto sensing for windshield wipers, and heated steering wheels. It also has really good turning radius and handling. The engine has great get up and go. The only negative is parts and tires can be expensive.

Love it, great ride, comfortable and safe.
Comfortable problems with key lock at times, heated seats, heated steering wheel are great. Smooth ride, good soundsystem, good in snow and rain, lots of room, drink holders too tight, love the sunroof, push button starter sometimes fails, uses super gas.

Really like the heated front windshield.
Very comfortable with all the seats settings. Like the park assist. Love heated and cooling seats. Got it for the 3rd row which is easy to out up and down. Lots of places to charge phones. Like the navigation system. Have not had any major mechanical issues.

Land Rover discovery review.
I thoroughly enjoy the trim package of this vehicle. The leather interior with heated steering wheel and heated and cooled seats works well. The front windshield defrost system is integrated throughout the windshield which makes defrosting ice a breeze. Mechanically, there is a low level of vibration that begins at highway speeds and the mechanic is unable to identify the source. I have thoroughly researched the matter. It seems to be a design flaw that allows the dpf bracket to shake and causes the vibration to be felt through the steering wheel. Otherwise, I have had no issues with this vehicle and enjoy driving it daily.

I like the car a lot it is very comfortable on long drives.
Very comfortable, peppy good pickup. The main complaint I have with the car involves the sound system. The USB slot is in a very awkward location and it is difficult to insert the thumb drives. In a way this is a safety feature because it prevents me from changing the drives while the car is moving. The touch screen is not particularly sensitive.

Mostly great, couple small flaws.
Performance is generally great. Having problem with Peking sensor buzzing on for no reason. But the features and everything else are great. Not a fan of having to buy premium gas. Ac and navigation are great, plenty of trunk space, service at dealership is generally great though occasionally slow. All in all, I am a fan of this vehicle.

The brand name is the primary thing people notice about my car. Also it has a distinct color.
I love all of the features. The style is great. It is very family friendly. It is sleek and great space for a smaller suv. Gas mileage is the primary complaint.

I love my Discovery Sport!
I absolutely love my Discovery Sport. It is compact yet spacious with the third row seating. It is very responsive and easy to maneuver. I love the way it looks too. The outside is sleek with nice lines while the interior is luxurious and well appointed.

Great car for kids and safety.
Perfect small sized SUV for having a kid and being able to get them in and out of the vehicle easily. Safe and reliable. It can even fit my larger convertible car seat for my two year old. Gas mileage is not great at 25 mpg but I only put about 8k miles on a year and it does not cost that much to fill.

Land rover discovery sport: fun classy compact SUV.
I am very pleased with my discovery sport. It provides a very smooth quiet ride. I am a bit zippy on take off and she absolutely complies. I love the look and design of this SUV. It is rugged, yet classy. This vehicle is a head turner. I actually test drove about 6 different mid size SUVs before settling on my discovery. The sound quality of the stereo system is top notch. I do recommend a CD player if you are not interested in satellite radio, however. The GPS package is spot on. I detest using my phone when driving. I know many people do but I refuse. I love that I may answer my phone through my steering wheel! I am almost 50 so this technology just tickles me pink. My husband linked my phone to the car and it works great. The only problem I have actually had is a bit of a lark. I took her through a car wash and one of the roof rack pieces flew off. Needless to say I was not pleased. However, I brought it back to the dealership and they replaced it under my warranty. No charge. Also, I have found that my dashboard video display sometimes gets stuck when it is cold weather or a glare from the sun hits it just right. I have had my SUV for almost 2 years and those are my only two complaints. As far as size goes it is rather small if you need car seats. My little one is 4 and when he is in his car seat whoever is in the passenger seat has to pull the seat all the way up or he cannot stretch out his legs. My oldest is 21 and 6 ft tall. He cannot sit comfortably in the backseat because of his height and very little leg room. I would say if this is the only vehicle in your household, it is fine for every day outings but wouldn't recommend it for an extended drive for a vacation destination. Bottom line is I absolutely love it but my husband prefers his truck for legroom, height and long drives. My solution is buy the next size up if it is your only vehicle unless your husband is short or does not mind being a little squished.

Small SUV with a big attitude.
This is a great SUV. It is the perfect size for a small family and to fit in small parking spots. It is incredibly reliable, very comfortable. Mine does have the 3rd row, which is small but big enough for small children. However, the trunk space is limited and with the 3rd row up no space. Seat warmers are a must and I love the steering wheel warmer. The navigation is easy to use and so are the vehicle settings. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone wanting a smaller SUV.

The knob to change gears is futuristic.
Land Rover is unreliable for fixes and repairs. I have had multiple issues with the exterior and contacted multiple times with no responses. The customer service is horrible and would never recommend. The car itself is very practical. Gas is expensive due to the premium gas prices.

Gear selector sensor
Gear selector sensor failed. My discovery is just out of warranty, broke down last week, gear selector wouldn’t move out of park. $2.300 to fix. The service team are doing their best and are lovely but I’m super disappointed that Landrover aren’t fixing at their cost. Yes out of warranty. Bought brand new less than 4 years ago $72,0000. Has anyone had the same problem?

Service nightmare.
Stay far away. Have had issues with almost every part of the vehicle. I’ve owned for just over 2 years and have had numerous issues with headlights, a/c, fuel gauge and now I am being told the turbo charger needs to be replaced.

Enjoying my vehicle purchase of the 2016 Land Rover discovery sport se.
I haven’t had any problems with the lr discovery sport thus far, and the high tech features, such as navigation, push start, leather seats are an added benefit. The lr discovery sport also gets excellent gas mileage, along with the most of using ultra premium gas.

Pros and cons of a 2016 Land Rover discovery sport.
Purchased vehicle used 2 years ago, first month the moonroof glass spider. Warranty did not cover cost. Since then, car has been great. Oil change is pricey; synthetic oil and can only take high-end gas. Drives smooth, great pick-up when accelerating. Biggest con-remote starter after downloading the Land Rover application; however, must renew annually for $120./year. Overall, would recommend this vehicle, spacious as well (front, back, and hatch). I am able to travel with 2 cane corsos in the hatch and they both have room to lie down.

Complaints about the service /.. Maintenance. Comparing it to the service we get at BMW. Land rover does not cover maintenance unlike BMW so we have to pay every time.

Land Rover Discovery Sport
A little about my Land Rover Sport Discovery. I have taken family trips with it and handle like a dream. My Family had plenty of room to stretch out and not be on top of each other when we all went to the beach recently and loved the fact they had another row of seats in back so they could all do their own things. I have had no car problems with my Land Rover but I do got to warn you that it a little on the rough side when it comes to gas. I spend about $100. Dollars that day to the beach for a back and forth trip. Let's see features to this SUV backup camera, help with self parking, surround Bose system which is awesome, automatic windshield wipers, large sunroof, heated and cooling driver and passenger chairs which is great during the seasons.
Christy D
on September 26, 2020
My vehicle is comfortable, roomy and easy to handle.
The ride is comfortable and smooth. It does cost more to fill it with gas because of having to use the premium fuel. It is also expensive to repair. The interior is very comfortable. The memory seats are nice because it changes at the touch of a button. The skylight is nice also because no rain to worry about and you still get to enjoy the view in the comfort and air conditioning or heater.

2016 hse Land Rover discovery. Amazing car.
Drives amazing. Love the color of it. The heated and cooling seats are great. And my kids enjoy the heated seats in the back. Love the roof that opens up so you can see the whole sky. Would only go with the hse luxury sport for all the bells and whistles.

2016 Land Rover discovery.
I love my 2016 Land Rover discovery sport. It is the perfect in between car. It is got the size of an SUV but maneuvers like a four door sedan. It has everything you would want, heated/cooled seats, push to start, all wheel drive, a nice turbo in the engine, and so many more features.

Love my Land Rover, but less than expected.
It is a little smaller than what I would want and for having a luxury brand, the features are less that what I would have thought to have for a luxury vehicle. I have also recently learned that when you need to fix anything that it can be very expensive to fix. Also you can only put premium gas into the vehicle. The radio seems very generic for a luxury vehicle.

My discovery sport se black 2016.
I have the base model, but you should really upgrade because all of the bells and whistles are on the earlier models. I love the ride. It's comfortable and it's faster than I could imagine. The sport package is a bonus and helps when you are merging and passing.

Safe and sporty, with all the comforts of a high-end SUV.
Quick acceleration, user-friendly navigation system, heated seats/windows/steering wheel make the car enjoyable in the winter months. Generally good gas mileage, especially for long trips. I feel safe in my car, even in rain/snow/sleet. Excellent customer service and cost of maintenance is about average, especially given that they provide loaner vehicles.

I am not sure what niche to put it in but it is all around a decent vehicle.
I think it is underpowered. The four cylinder engine struggles to get it moving at times. I get around 17 miles per gallon around town. It has a small fuel tank so get ready for frequent gas stops. I have not had any mechanical issues yet. The one positive is the big car ride it feels very secure and has a comfortable ride.

Move over! I have a land rover!
I love everything about this car! My only real problem is it lacks Sirius XM radio. My past car had it and I got so used to it, when I figured out my new car didn't have it I was pretty bummed out! Other than that it gets great mileage and is very spacious!
Kelly T

Nice looking vehicle with great options.
I love the way the vehicle looks and feels while driving. This is also my 8 yr olds favorite vehicle because of the options (seat heaters and heat controls) for the back passengers. The downfall for me is that at 34,000 miles I have already needed a new alternator and sensors replaced.

The power of the 2016 rover.
To begin I would like to address the extreme comfort and the ease of handling the steering has. I have had a couple of problems with the sometimes difficult engine and cooling components. The four wheel drive and the stability it provides while driving off road is admirable though.
Stephanie J
on October 26, 2019
Highly recommend this vehicle.
The interior feels luxurious without the full cost of a luxury vehicle. The trunk and back seats offer comfort and utility. The acceleration needs a heavy touch but the ride is extremely smooth. It is an easy vehicle to drive. Highly recommend this car to buyers who are looking for a luxury SUV without the full cost of other models.
Byron W
on October 22, 2019
It is a Land Rover and not made from spare parts.
I have had the freon for the air conditioning refilled and had the brake pads replaced after only 15000 miles. It is a comfortable vehicle and has the ride and drive characteristics of a much larger vehicle. The engine and drivetrain have not been an issue. It has a very thirsty four cylinder engine that seems very underpowered at times. I would suggest renting the model that you want to buy before buying this not so inexpensive vehicle.

Like I stated before I have had problems with the hatch.
It has a rattle when the stereo is on. Also I have had problems with the hatch. It drives very smooth. It takes premium gas so that is a factor to consider as well. The interior is leather and has held up well. The paint is not showing any signs of sun damage like some cars do.

Land Rover discovery sport= best car ever.
I have had a Land Rover discovery sport for about 3 years now and I absolutely love it. It is so smooth when driving and the break is not too stiff. The interior is all black with red accents and the exterior is red. It has “turbo mode” which I absolutely love and really helps when running late.
Naomi J
on May 13, 2019
I turn on the air conditioning or the heater before get to my car from anywhere.
The vehicle has almost any bell and whistle you could want. The gas mileage is not terrible, and it is a fairly comfortable ride for having 20 inch rims on it. All that said, this is not a cheap vehicle to maintain. Brakes will cost you a lot. You will not get out of the service department for less the $500 ever. If you have ever owned a Land Rover though, you know this going in. I love my vehicle and it is nice to have what a range rover sport would have, minus the price tag that a range rover has.
Jeffrey B

Amazing car that I would definitely recommend.
I really enjoy driving this vehicle. The seats are very comfortable and there car is very spacious. I love the touch screen in the car that makes it very easy to listen to your music. I travel quite a bit and the trunk has so much space for all of my bags. The only problem that I have is that while I am driving the touch screen part on the car will just stop and restart while I am driving.

I love the look and feel of this car. It fits all the needs for myself and my family of five. It has 3 rows. The third row can be later flight to have a bigger space for your trunk. I like that it has rear view cameras and navigation system, hands free calling and Bluetooth. I like the combination of leather and cloth seats. Our family really enjoys this car.

Cheaply made for a luxury and expensive brand.
There are many problems with this vehicle: electrical issue, feels like a very cheaply made vehicle, no power, very slow up hill. Terrible transmission, the screen keeps shutting off. My wife does not like the window button, placed too high. The only good thing is suspension.

Of all the cars I have owned, this is my favorite.

Discovery sport - no problems.
The discovery sport is an amazing car that I have yet to have any problems with and it has given me lots of comfort throughout the year or so. We had bought leather seats and not too many upgrades to the car, although it has been well. It was very reliable and has performed well. Once I had a flat tire on the highway and I had called for a mechanic through the car, and it had worked well, although we did have to wait an hour to receive help. No issues whatsoever, and out car did contain a spare tire.

It's really a pleasure to drive. It's comfortable and just big enough. Looks pretty too.
This car is low key luxury. Gorgeous features and such an easy drive. I love everything about it EXCEPT I hate how it doesn't have a satellite connection. Other than that, a lovely car. I will be proud to own this car for years.
