It is roomy, great on the highway and on mtn. Roads.
I love my discovery it is a safe car, and I do a lot of highway driving which makes me feel secure. I live that it is a great mtn. Car. It is easy to haul groceries, a chair, or all my camping gear—I also sleep in it when camping.

Cheap to buy but hard to repair, otherwise very reliable.
Main problem with the car is that you can't really find spare parts very easily and they can be pricey if you do because they need to be shipped. However, it is great for cruising difficult terrains and desserts and mountains and is extremely reliable.

The detail from inside of the vehicle is really good.
It really saves on gas and runs great. Parts might be somewhat expensive but then again land rover is a great car model. The only thing I have trouble with is the rear view mirror I can see the middle seat back head and cant see very well who's in the back of me. So I use my side mirrors.

The Land Rover Discovery two is an off-road machine.
The Discovery II is an enthusiasts vehicle, it's all wheel drive with traction control is enough to get you VERY far off the trail. That being said, it has more moving parts and requires high service maintenance that is/can be very costly unless done by yourself.

It runs amazingly but it has a crash on the front and I missed a oil change but right when I fixed those problems it runned amazingly
