This Year's Model Updates:

Land Rover has made a number of updates to its 2003 Discovery. In terms of mechanical components, the company has installed a more powerful 4.6-liter V8 engine and has improved the steering, brakes and suspension. Styling is revised front and rear, including headlamps that mimic its bigger brother's, the Range Rover. New interior treatments grace the cabin, and a rear park distance control is now an option. Finally, Land Rover has dropped the "Series II" nomenclature, and it's now simply called "Discovery."

Pros:
  • Great off-road ability, unique exterior design, advanced handling features.
Cons:
  • Difficult entry and egress, quirky interior design, not much cargo space, poor gas mileage.

  • Lets do it again - 2003 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    Our 2003 Discovery is the second one weve leased. The 2003 is much quieter than the 2000 model we had before. My wife insisted on another although my blazer can carry more in the rear. They include the scheduled maintenance now.

  • I Like It - 2003 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    Fun vehicle to drive and comes standard with a boat load of features. Fuel consumption and per gallon price make me choose my other vehicle occasionally.

  • SUPER - 2003 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I THINK ITS A SUPER CAR WITH GREAT STYLE AND RELIABILITY. NOT YOUR COMMON BORING. I LIKE THE SAFETY FEATURES AND BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING I WANT TO DO OR GO ANYWHERE I WISH. SHOULD HAVE HIGHER RATING!

  • The Best - 2003 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    One of the best cars I have had the pleasure of driving.

  • I love this Land Rover - 2003 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    Traded a Freelander for the Disco. Should have bought the Disco in the first place. Dont get me wrong, the Freelander is a great vehicle, but the Discovery has better build quality, more space, luxury features, and feels much more solid. And it almost begs to go off-road. We opted for the 7- passenger version (SE7).

  • Love my dirt demon - 2003 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I am a little biased here, I used to be a sales manager for Land Rover so know that up front when reading this. I do love love love my disco. This is my 4th Rover (98 Disco, 2x 03 Freelanders (his in black and hers in Red), 03 Disco), and Ive never been disapointed. The thing about the Discovery is that you have to understand what it is before you buy it and be ok with what it is and what it isnt. What it is: - The ultimate off-road vehicle, go anywhere anytime for any reason. - IMO, tough. Ive never had a big problem with any of mine, but then again I do my service and repairs (most dont!) - Expensive What it isnt: - A Mercedes-Benz - Fuel efficient - For everyone

  • Great SUV! - 2003 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    Luxury and brand recognition at an affordable price. No need to shovel if you own this.

  • 4x4xFAR - 2003 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I have had my new disco se7 for 12 days now, and I cant get enough it yet! Took it to the Sand dunes and it handled pretty awesome. I always wanted a 4x4, this is my first, and I hope I never have to change from a Land Rover ever. Double sunroof is a plus, leather all around looks great. 12 speakers sound like a party inside. 6 cd changer cool. The list goes on and on. I hope I never have anything bad to say as months come around.

  • Realize what youve got - 2003 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    Ive had this car since 6/03 and it has been the most enjoyable vehicle Ive owned. Potential purchasers need to understand what they are buying--an offroad vehicle that has been given the creature comforts of a family car. Youll be getting the best offroad vehicle money can buy, but you will be giving up some things. There are reasons fo the apparent downsides of this vehicle (e.g., slow acceleration... so I dont fly off the side of the mountain!). Bottom line, its a great vehicle and a lot of fun to own/drive, but realize what youre getting.
