General Comments:

So far this vehicle has proved to be excellent.

We previously test drove a Discovery in 1998 and weren't impressed. The seats seemed too short and build quality was less than was to be expected from an almost $60,000 (CDN) vehicle. BMW acquired Land Rover and made 13,000 (I think that's correct) minor, yet very necessary changes. After test driving the Series II, we were pleasantly surprised, and purchased a fully loaded Discovery Series II.

The engine is somewhat under powered, but we didn't buy the vehicle to serve sports car purposes. If the sport button is activated the truck will move quite quickly, but fuel consumption becomes ridiculously heavy. The engine is a little noisier than our previous vehicle.

It is very comfortable and the driver position commands outstanding vision. The headroom is cavernous and the cabin is very roomy. We love the big windows.

Our model is equipped with the ACE (active cornering enhancement) which is none-less-than a technological marvel. The truck shows no sign of listing or body roll through corners, a very nice feature for an SUV. The "ACE" makes my wife feel much safer, a Toyota 4-Runner we had (and loved) years earlier rolled unexpectedly and with little provocation.

The vehicle is equipped with all of the necessary modern conveniences and then some.

It has proven to be a fantastic vehicle to help us through the brutal Canadian winters. This vehicle doesn't hesitate in worst of conditions, ice, deep snow, and even in the muddy roads in the spring.

It is by and far the most capable SUV we have ever owned. We purchased a second Discovery last month. We will never look at any other SUV again. We're sold on Land Rover.
