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.

    The Discovery should be driven by people who respect a true SUV and its off road capabilites. Those other soccoer moms can stick with the junk such as the Pilot.

  • It is such fun to drive!! - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    When we take a long and tiring day trip, the Land Rover makes it much more enjoyable, not only because of the smooth ride it gives, but the comfort level is way up there. We had another Discovery a few years back, and obviously there have been a few improvements since then. We love it!! This one is a true keeper!!!The service we receive at the dealership is superb!

    If you cannot afford a highline sport- utility vehicle do not buy one. This is NOT a KIA Sorrento, Suzuki, or a GEO Tracker. I have owned mine for 4 years and have had no problems even though I have well over 100k on it now. I regularly have the fluids changed and scheduled maintenance done. No it is not cheap. Do a True Cost of Ownership. If you live pay- check to pay-check you will not like the MPG. Again its not Suzuki, KIA or GEO. I enjoy the vehicle and it is very comfortable. It is an all-weather, all-terrain SUV. Handling and torque is sufficient. You do not need to go 0-60 up a mountain in 4 seconds. Buy what you can afford , not what you want your friends to see you in.

    This vehicle has the perfect brake response and overall feel that I have ever felt from a large or rather mid-size SUV. Its a shame that the new LR3 will look drastically different, yet identicle to other Ford SUV counterparts. If you are on the fence on whether to wait for the new LR3 or the DIscovery II, buy the Discovery II if you wish to stand out from all the other vehicles on the road. The look is unmistakable. Dare to be original for once.

  • 2004 Dicosvery 2 trial w/155k miles - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    We just sold our 2001 discovery 2 with 200k miles and got this 04 with 155k miles last week. We love them and if you take good care of the car and do a little research on the web you can find all the parts that you need and a great mechanic will keep you within budget. The love and hate relationship is true but if you are looking for a vehicle that will keep you safe, goes anywhere and has great presence this is the car for you. I dont have allot of money but if you treat your rover well and have a mechanic you can trust you will be able to afford one. P.S. I got my 01 with 139k miles and spend about 5k during 4 years of ownership

  • Great So Far! - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    Great to drive, youve got "vehicle" around you. Can see the whole road around and in front, others want to get around to know what is actually going on in front of us. Fuel economy lacking, but if thats what you want, its simple... Look Elsewhere! Customer service at my dealer is outstanding, "Pampered yet Professional". So far Ive gotten what Ive paid for. Will see this winter and following my first Land Rover Dealer Sponsored "Wheels event" where they help you to fully understand and appreciate the abilities of this true off-road vehicle.

  • Lovin it! - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I love this SUV! I must admit Land Rovers are an aquired taste, but once you aquire it youre hooked. I really like sitting up high-even my hubbys Z- 71 seems low to the ground to me now. It handles well and I feel very safe in it. It only gets 3 light poles per gallon :-) but we were aware of that before we purchased it, so its no big deal. The doors dont open very wide & I was concerned about being able to get my daughter in/out, but it hasnt been a problem. Overall,Im extremely pleased with our purchase.

  • I Love my Quirky Land Rover Disco - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I grew up in the back of Land Rovers (what most people know today at Defenders), and the off-road heritage that has been passed down to todays LRs is just as mud, snow, sand, and rock gripping as in the past. The daily commute in a LR bears little resenblance to the original LR tractor/all around farm vehicle the Brits first developed, and it hasnt lost any of its utility. The LR Disco may now be a people-ferrying vehicle, but it is still first and foremost a utility vehicle.
