Land Rover Reviews

Land Rover was the name of one of the first civilian all-terrain utility vehicles, first produced by Rover in 1947. Eventually, the Land Rover division was split off from Rover, and produced an expanding range of four wheel drive vehicles under a succession of owners, including British Leyland, British Aerospace, BMW, and, from 2000, Ford in the Premier Automotive Group. Land Rovers are manufactured in Solihull, England (near Birmingham) and exported around the world. Land Rovers are popular in the Paris Dakar Rally as well as the vehicle used for the Camel Trophy. They are also used by military forces worldwide. In the United States, Land Rovers have a reputation as overpriced “yuppie” toys, since most are never used off-road; however there are also enthusiasts and clubs that take the vehicle to its limits.

Land Rover Discovery ES TD5

Good points

I bought my Discovery on a 52 Plate approx. 6 months old when I got it. I have had older Disco’s, which suffered with body roll, high centre of gravity problems etc….Not so with the TD5 New shape. The car holds the road incredibly well thanks to the ACE (advanced cornering enhancement). You take relatively sharp bends surely and crisply, unbelievably, when you see the size of the car. Drivers view is exceptional. The off road capability is awesome. In low gear ratios the torque is fantastic.
