Discovery 4
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.

There are lemons out there!!
It has all the makings of the perfect family car. Unfortunately our car was extremely unreliable and therefore, very unsafe.
We bought our car new from Barbagellos in Perth in 2010. At 27,000 kms, the first of the car's significant issues presented itself.
The car developed computer related faults that would cause it to shut itself down, even during highway speeds, forcing you to manhandle the car to the side of the road. As the engine would cut itself out, there was no power steering during this time, making this extremely hard even for a ...Read more
guy to do. The dashboard would display numerous faults like gearbox warnings, engine warning, emergency brake warning which wouldn't actually be logged onto the car computer making it extremely (or impossible) to diagnose. We persevered with the car for another 50,000kms with many more breakdowns and expensive trips back to the dealership. The car was no longer reliable to go away on a family trip in. Barbagellos could fix the car. I rang Land Rover Aust and got them to send their technicians to Perth to resolve the issue, but they were also unable to correct the problems. I finally asked them, what do you suppose I do with a car that even LR Australia cannot fix, and Barbagellos Service Department just said; sell it. In the 5 years of owning it, we must have spent $20,000 just on servicing alone. When you have to spend $150 to change the windscreen wiper blades (yes, just the little rubber strip part), you can see how service bills quickly rack up. I finally gave in and sold the car to a dealership where at least I wasn't directly passing this lemon onto a person. I ended up buying a new CX-9 grand tourer afterwards for the family. It is 1000 times better as a road car and a lot more comfortable. $280 capped service and its never missed a beat so far. This was sadly my experience with a Disco 4. You have been warned.

Reading into the review by Toyota Hilux lover, one must assume there is a bit of prefabricated BS. There are always going to be people that get a lemon, hence the need for true lemon laws to protect those suffer. I have had my D4 for around 3 years now, the last of 2.7 TDV6's and I prefer it over the higher spec'd twin turbo 3.0L's.My vehicle is non standard as I have set it up for offroad touring. I run smaller 17" Performance BB6 alloys with Cooper ST Maxx for better offroad grip and toughness. The 17" rims will fit on the 2.7 TDV6's due to s...Read more
maller brake rotors, unfortunately the 3.0L's will only go down to an aftermarket 18 which costs more and still has limited tyre choices. I also run an OL steel bullbar with a warn winch, snorkel, and other bits of kit. I haven't had any technical issues offroad in my time, and I take to vehicle through all sorts of terrain, mud and water, often towing my Kimberley kamper. No brand is immune to lemons, Toyota has had their sentence in fair share of problems with vehicle recalls in recent times. At the time of purchase my only other option I considered was a 200 series in the Attitude edition. I couldn't justify the 28k extra over my D4 TDV6. Choose wisely for what your needs are, for genuine 7 seat 4wd that can sit adults in the rear the D4 is the best.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Disco 4 the best!
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.

Excellent
This is easily the most comfortable and capable 4wd I have owned (3). It is also excellent value for money even against Japanese 4wd models from Nissan, Mitsubishi and Toyota, if you compare models with similar features.
Value for money; Excellent v6 diesel and 6-speed auto combo; Comfortable and smooth on road; equally capable off road; Roomy inside; Feel solid and secured; Good fuel consumption for weight ( match manufacturer's claim, unlike the Japanese makers who usually understate theirs in real life condition); Luxurious feel inside like ...Read more
