This Year's Model Updates:

For 2004, the Discovery gets new tubular roof rails, and a manually lockable center differential is now standard. The S trim gets an in-dash CD player as standard equipment, and the HSE's cabin is enhanced with burled wood trim on the center console. A new interior color scheme -- called Tundra, featuring light earth tones in leather -- has been added. Finally, Land Rover is offering a limited-edition G4 model this year: It's painted an eye-catching orange, and boasts a cabin with unique trim and upholstery.

Pros:
  • Superior off-road ability, classic SUV styling, quality interior materials, lots of head- and legroom.
Cons:
  • Hard to get in and out of, quirky interior design, limited hip- and shoulder room, not much cargo space, poor gas mileage, no side airbags or stability control.

  • me and my Discovery (love it hate it) - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    Always wanted a Land Rover I have admired them since forever. My land Rover is love/hate relationship. The thing cant go more than 6 months without need for a trip to the dealer, most of the time it is for something minor. My rover loves to gulp gas even on highway trip if Im lucky I might get 14 mpg (avg speed 66 mph). Ergonomics poor, off road performance way better than great. Snow, mud, water no problem. I purchased it with the older style nav system, which after the $700.00 cost Land Rover decided not to make map upgrade DVD disks for up dating. Great they have rendered the system useless as for up to the date maps and such, thanks Land Rover.

    I like the ride both on and off road.It is a truck so it is not a smooth as my brothers Mercedes, but is nice. In rain it sticks on the road and gives you confidence you can control it. people complain about the difficulty of the differentfunctions,locks ,windows,air,ec t. but can learn and use easy enough with practice, as with the key into the ignition takes practice. There is some wind noise on the highway , but only noticable to me at 70mph or higher. It handels fine at those speeds never past 85mph. Rear air is a must and I recomend the SE (like I have)or higher se7 model.

  • Test drove the S - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I spent nearly an hour with the sales person on the test drive. He is friendly and willing to take time to answer my questions. Most likely, I will drop the $$ on it after coming back from vacation in 01/2004. Hey, anyone know the "reasonable" price on S? The sales guide quoted me $36K (TT&L...) total.

  • Solid, Fun to Drive - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I bought the Westminster Edition with premium sound system that is amazing. Car is very easy to drive in congested traffic thanks to high seating position and excellent visibility. In harsh rain, this thing is unstoppable - retaining solid surefooted road performance. Additionally, this tank is surprisingly easy to park.

  • Disco SE7 - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I am not sure what the negative fuss is about in relation to Land Rover products. My wife & I purchased an 04 LR Discovery SE7 for the purpose of a daily driver that will seat 3 children comfortably, yet is capable of handling serious off road conditions-as we are very outdoor oriented. We made the correct choice! Yes it is an expensive vehicle to both purchase & to maintaine; however, if you DO maintaine the vehicle properly (just as you should any vehicle) you should be issue free. We have never been left stranded, nor have we had any catostofic failures. My Disco is fast approaching 100K miles & I intend to put that many more miles on it. Amazing offroad & equally amazing on the Hwy.

    This is an awesome vehicle to drive. The handling far exceeds what I imagined. I have driven 4x4s for some 20 years, and this is an incredible machine, both for getting around town, and (my favorite) hitting the far off and hard to reach fishing spots in the Eastern Sierras that only can be reached with a 4x4. What else can I say, this vehicle is real fun!

  • Fun to drive in Texas Hill Country - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    The vehicle is safe and fun to drive. I live in the Texas hill Country and love to hunt. This is a great SVU for going into the hard to get to areas. The gas mileage could be better but over all its a small price to pay. My Irish Setter fits well into the cargo space. Overall I would purchase another Land Rover in a minute.

  • I Love My Disco! - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I only have driven it 400 miles so far, but I am impressed. Coming from a sportscar, I am surprised how agile this vehicle is. Its not fast off the line, but it has plenty of power on the highway. The visibility is outstanding, and the handling is better than two rigid axels and ancient steering should be. The vehicle is solid as a rock, and the finishes in the cabin are WAY better than the new LR3 (oops I mean a Ford Explorer). I admit I had my concerns about buying such an antiquated vehicle, but it functions very well. Sure its quirky; some ergonomics are lacking but the old-fashioned, stately British charm is a big part of its attractiveness! A local dealer to fix it helps too!

  • R Disco - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I bought this car over the weekend. After 3 days i have fallen in love with this car, I had a 2002 Disco and i thought that was GREAT. THIS CAR CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED IN 1 WORD WOW. This car is fablous and i recomend to everyone to get one if you want to have performance sex appeal and well to have your neigbors look at you and go wow. YEAH GREAT CAR.

  • My dream car - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    Im a 17 year old and I have always wanted a Land Rover. I got one at 85,000 miles and by 90,000 we were begging for someone to take it. I loved it but it was way to expensive to fix. First was the front differential at a costly 2,000 and a window regulator 675.00 and then secondairy air pump 500.000 and last but not least the ABS modulator and front right hub. Land Rover was asking 4800 to fix that. We said forget it and sold it for dirt dirt dirt cheap but were just happy to get rid of it. It was junk!!
