Best Car to Buy

published

My 2014 Discovery rotary gear selector locked itself in Drive. Fortunately another owner posted a fix which I did and now it's all good.

Apart from this issue the car has been faultless and is by far the best car I've owned for comfort, safety, flexibility on and off road and power and performance. Value for money second hand is really good with more features than a Toyota for half the price!

The 8 speed auto is really good and makes towing a breeze.



Purchased in October 2021 for A$39,000.00.

Discovery 4

published

I bought a 2011 Discovery 4 in 2015 with 55000klm on it . It now has 150000klm now and has proven to be a great 4wd. It’s towed a caravan around most of OZ easily and is a very comfortable economical everyday car. People we speak to with Discovery 3or 4s all are also very happy with them. Ours has the 2.7 ford diesel I changed all the trans and diff oils at 100000 The disco is a very good vehicle.

Great car

published

One of the best decisions ever made. Road comfort is worth it with its air suspension. Bought a dealer demo for 70k. It replaces prado for its money spent. Once a year service or 26k kms service. Prado or any other cars needed two or three services at this mileage. Cost 700$ for service and is a dreAm to ride.now I prefers long trips. Can occupy 7 adults comfortable

Best 4WD available

published

The smoothest car I have driven. Air suspension is very good.
Very economical. Driving around in Sydney traffic I can regularly achieve better than 10 litre / 100 KM.
Opted for Tech Pack and rear air conditioning. Worthwhile taking.
The only improvement I would seek is better maps in the navigation system.
The best car I have driven. Every passenger has been impressed with the quality.
Dealership provided outstanding customer service.

Purchased in April 2021 for A$87,000.00.

Owned the Discovery 4 for 5 years. Loved it.
Traded for a new Discovery, Review to follow.

Excellent vehicle, very impressed.

published

Bought our Discovery new in September 2015, so far we've done 20k in it, mainly around town but we've also taken it on longer trips and on some fire trails. I did the Land rover off road course which was offered free, I knew I would be impressed with its capability and I was. The only slight critisism is the infotainment system, very slow. I tend to use my iphone as a GPS instead of the built in system. The Meridian sound system is fantastic as is the DAB radio. Very comfortable car for carrying children in. A bit thirsty around town, but that could be due to my driving style, surprisingly quick if you put your foot down.

New to Land Rover

Just took delivery of a 2014 Discovery and so far the wife and I love it. We'll never take it off road we have no desire to do so. people who don't 4WD are allowed to buy them!
Mid year update 11k in and it's as good as they say, quiet, smooth and efficient, the fuel economy got better as it got older. You really need to test drive one and find a way to afford I did and couldn't be happier.

A $1000 Hilux

Discovery 4 with ARB bull bar roof rack and lots more $$ spent . First trip light 4wd for a fish and on the way out it kills itself airbags brakes ect the dash lights up. No phone coverage so on its belly this poor 4wd is stuck with a 2.5 and 7 month in the back me and my wife have made one massive mistake in buying a Land rover.
Keep the land rover as a show lemon in the city and buy something not so computerized

My Disco 4 is a fantastic vehicle
It is fitted with a factory nav package which is totally substandard for a high quality vehicle and Landrover chooses to do nothing about it despite my protestations since new . Quote $500 to upgrade the software with no guarantee it is better .Silly stuff when one can buy software for the whole of Europe for $150 or less . This package devalues the Landrover brand
everything
Rubbish nav package

Disco 4 the best!

published

Couldn't be happier, great 4wd, just need more service centres.
Tows my 2t van with ease and uses 14L / 100 km doing it.
I'd like a more basic model though so I would feel more comfortable taking it in the bush.
Like the style, love the air suspension as its self levelling.

Beautiful piece of kit......

published

Brilliant go anywhere, pull anything, beautifully built motor. Gorgeous to drive on or off road and unlike some models before it, perfectly reliable. Would happily have another - so impressed that we have bought my wife a Land Rover (Freelander 2). Living in Australia it gets a real workout on and off road and is incredibly capable.
Lavishly equipped, luxury interior, versatile engine with loads of grunt, beast of a car.
Leather a bit industrial, expensive to buy and to own.

Great Car!

I have owned 3 Discoveries, but this model is the best by far. An easy car to drive with plenty of power. A bit of a gas (i.e. diesel) guzzler, but this has to be expected in a car of this size and weight. I would buy another at the dro of a hat.

Perfect family car for us. With four kids we need a capable go anywhere car. This is it. Very comfy and quiet. The mrs loves it. 3.0 litre diesel is awesome it has some serious grunt. Was happy to sell the toyota to get into this. Superb interior. It goes to work, school,shopping and can tackle a rough bush track or sand dunes on the weekends.
Everything
service can be a bit dearer than toyota.

That's because they service all the car not just change the oil!
