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.

  • Cmon people! - 2004 Land Rover Discovery

    Ive really enjoyed having this SUV! All the complaints about service is probably because a lot of "yuppies" who dont know the first thing about taking care of a car own them! Basic maintenance and upkeep will eliminate these problems. Enough already about the gas mileage...ITS A V8! Great SUV in my eyes!

    Ive loved the Disco since it first came out and I finally made the plunge this spring. The ride quality is great for an SUV and the styling (interior & exterior) is a cut above. Ive only had it for 6 Mos. but it has been maintenance free. The only shock was gas mileage. Going from an Audi A4 to the Disco was a big difference, especially during a time when gas hovered around $2.50 / gal.

  • Style and Substance meet in the Disco - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I am the original owner of my beloved 2004 Disco 2, which has logged more than 220,000 miles, many of them hard ones in Maine winters. I love this car so much that I put in a new motor at 180,000 miles, but sadly just learned that the undercarriage has rust. The plan was to get a new Jeep for me when my daughter got her drivers license, but shes getting the new Jeep and I am keeping my Disco for as long as we can keep the rust at bay. Although in very inclement weather she will be driving the Disco. Some time ago a massive Ford truck slammed into the side grate of my Disco destroying his whole front end, while Disco sustained a slight smudge. Looking for a replacement when this one goes.

  • Still Lovin it! - 2004 Land Rover Discovery

    Use is as a daily driver here in New England. Exterior is beautiful and interior appointments are plush save for the electronics which were outdated even when new. Its more like a luxury all weather vehicle but still sturdy when you need it most. Always turns heads and you feel great driving it.

  • Sad! - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I have been reading blogs all over the Internet about Land Rover problems and I could just spit! I purchased my 2004 LRD 10 days ago... I dont drive much, just back and forth to work. A couple days ago I was driving and the car overheated, I pulled off the freeway right away and while pulling over the car started to smoke and shut down... now I need to spend 6K on a new engine, the mechanic at LR chuckeled and said "yep, we see it ALL the time". What a waiste of time and money.. If this is such a common problem shouldnt there have been a recall??? Also, anyone know a good and honest mechanic in north Texas...or should I just part it out and cut my losses? It sounds like this wont be the last problem with this vehicle!!!!

  • The last Discovery, the best Discovery - 2004 Land Rover Discovery

    Have enjoyed every moment behind the wheel of my SE Discovery. I feel safe and secure at its helm. I have had zero maintenance concerns and find the dealership fantastic. Would recommend others to get one of the last few reamining.

    I dont do much everyday driving, except for trips to the off-road rally sponsored by the retailer. It is an exceptional and true off road vehicle and a distinct style to set it apart. Although it needs a long list of upgrades, I still love it. Perhaps the most noteworthy of the upgrades is in the technology department.

  • Great Car w/ Fun, Flexibiltiy, &Security - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    This SUV is great.....for everything! Its fun and sporty, while being dependable and flexible. Great European handling almost like a great sports car...but its an SUV with great style and class. Not to mention its got 2 sunroofs.

  • Off-road There is no Equal - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I have had no major problems with the vehicle in the 9 mos. of ownership. While I believe the Jeeps to be superb off-road vehicles (owned every model at one time), the Discovery is phenomenal off-road. The dealership offers excellent service and many perks, such as a day of off-roading that is first-class and exciting. The vehicle has a stiff suspension, but is comfortable on the highway with no drift. This is made to go on safari but has comfort amd luxury for everyday driving.

  • Stick with the ML 500. - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    After owning the Mercedes ML500. I thought it would be fun to drive the Land Rover. I have been very pleased with this SUV. The Mercedes does perform much better on road than the Land Rover.
