1998 Land Rover Discovery LE 4.0 V8
Summary:
O Fantasma. Land Rover is the REAL DEAL
Faults:
Power Seat switches came out of middle console.
Brake Pads & Rotors had to be replaced.
Auto-Dim Rear View Mirror needs to be replaced (air pocket in the liquid)
Minor leak in Sunroof.
General Comments:
This car is probably one of the best I have owned.
I can drive 3 hours (freeway) on a quarter of a tank... approx. 200miles.
EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE.
Acceleration is faster 0-60mph than lets say 40-60mph.
Tow up to 6000lbs, however, if going up a steep hill with 6klbs... feels sluggish.. maybe 40mph max. (disappointing, but then again, it's only a 4.0)
Very spacious cabin, a PLUS if you have family/friends who are 6feet or more.
VERY FEW blind spots, you really see everything around you (COMMAND VIEW)
GREAT FACTORY stereo. Far better than many others I have had.
For a 1998, 150k mile engine vehicle... everything is running great. A few minor problems have occurred, but they're just that.. MINOR.
I would buy another one in a HEARTBEAT.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Well said. People who don't own one don't understand. My wife is still not happy with the cost of service, but she loves the seat position and the comfort of the vehicle. It's true what they say "You have to pay to play"
