Pros

Stunningly GORGEOUS, has 4 wheel drive settings for every different type of environment.

Cons

brakes have been giving me some trouble but that is easily fixed and a nitpick.

Perfection — When it comes to perfection in an SUV the Land Rover Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE is it. it has a 4.0 turbocharged V6 engine for GREAT performance. it has four-wheel drive for every type of environment that 4 wheel drive is needed for. it is stunningly gorgeous inside and out.

Pros

Huge, decent mileage, off road capacilities

Cons

Plastic bits "protecting" the undercarriage

35

Ample Of Space — The car is huge (at least according to European standards) nad you will have no trouble transporting almost anything. 7 seater a must. Diesel engine not the fastest around but gives adequate push for the nearly 3 ton car and the mileage is really good considering. Seating space is excellent (even in the 3rd row). And it actually can be taken off road (most plastic bits below the car will get torn off during first 100m though).

Landrovers Have A Reputation For A Reason — The LR3 is a great car and I really want to love it a lot. but I dont. It's been unreliable and quirky. Leaving me broken down on 3 occasions in the last year. Expensive to fix... then when its fixed... its great again... until it breaks downn *AGAIN* :(

Its a Landrover, no more words need writing !

Cons

If you dont have "green blood" dont bother buying 1

The Best 4 X 4 X Far — Best vehicle up to now I have ever owned, bring on Discovery 4 !, preformance enhanced with a chip makes it the best alround vehicle, build quality is what you come to expect from Landrover. Stunning looks, anybody thinks it looks like a taxi see me afterwards, cost does not matter "its a Landrover", and its just FUN FUN FUN. As James May said on "Top Gear" about a tingle sensation (Yepp)

Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.)

Pros

Great offroad and fulltime use vehicle

Cons

boxy masculine outlook

25

Perfect Luxury Suv For Terrain, Snow, Dirt, And A Full Time Vehicle. — the acceleration on the 06 LR3 can be slow in the comfort mode but if u really want a quick head start at the red light u can shift it into the sport mode and it'll race the rpm to increase the acceleration speed. the overall quality on the car is beautiful. the craftsmanship and quality can be told to be a true luxury suv. the quality is no different than the range rover sport 06 besides the design and performance. the seven seat passenger seats are very comfortable and the third row seats provide a leg room slip in for 2 full sized adult seats. the exterior styling can be quite boxy but for a guy its a great masculine look. the offroad features and air suspension offer a lot. this car does guzzle up gas. i get about 12 mpg local/highway. i put premium gas into my baby so maintenance can be quite high. the car is a very heavy vehicle making it very sturdy. overall i definitely recommend this SUV over the mercedes ML and volvo XC90.

the best family 7 seater car availabe

Cons

spare parts are expensive

25

Worth Every Penny — acceleration is excelent but the breaking, just like and other land rover model is still quiet week.. also the rear end of the car needs to have a better look rather than the clear cut trunk. also spare parts are quiet expensive so do not buy this car without a 5 year waranty

Styling, performance, its not Japanese (ok I know Tata (Indian) now own Land Rover), space

Cons

Super/ Premium unleaded, Expensive accessories,

Discovery 4 Hse V8 — Great performance and acceleration for a 3 tonne truck. Good performance off road... even on road tyres. Expensive accessories ($1000 for roof bars..ouch) Pretty cheap to run really for a 4.4 V8- not much more to insure and rego than a Honda CRV. Leather, air suspension, everything electric, 6 speed auto

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)
