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.

    this is the absolute top in suvs. i drove it cross country, through rain and snow. rides like a car and handles superbly. no leaning on exit ramps like the other suvs. seat comfort is also superb. never had to readjust seat the entire trip. also towed a 3, 500 lb boat plus trailer with no problem. looking foward to my next road trip with it, south this time. highly recomned! i have owned, gmcs fords and dodge. none can compare.

  • 04 LR Disco in CA - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    3rd eye tail light out after first 3 mos. Windshield washer pump didnt work from the beginning & has already been replaced with pump that works occasionally. Upper corners of front windshield leaked from beginning & has stained the headliner - now trying to get replaced. Also have problems with the front passenger compartment being soaked. Told it is a common occurrence with LRs so will need to get it drained (odd for it to be common on a $40k+ auto). Brake pads & rotors have already needed replacement and is costly (& not covered under warranty). Left front headlight has also gone out. Luckily, all these problems (minus brakes) are covered under 50k warranty

    This was my second Land Rover Discovery and I loved it. Never had any major problems with it and the service at the dealership was always great.

  • A Driving Experience - 2004 Land Rover Discovery

    I have owned my Discovery for 7 months. I have enjoyed every moment of owning it except when I have to fill the gas tank. Going from an Audi A6 to the Disco. in a gas shortage is quite a shock to the wallet. I have been impressed with the over all vehicle and its performance. I am hoping that I will be able to buy the Range Rover or LR3 in the next two years.

    I bought this car for my wife about one month ago & we love it. The Disco rides great & is very easy to drive.

  • Love it - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    We picked up an SE7 with a couple of extra features. To accomodate child access to the back seat, we added running boards. To date, the car drives very well with nice pickup. Driver space is super -- at 63" my only complaint is with the steering wheel positioning for entry into the drivers seat. Surprised also by stopping distance, which is quite good given the weight. While moving, the car seems to float, giving the imprecise feeling of standing still -- I still have to look at the spedometer to gauge the speed Im going. I mean this in a good way:. Basically, we love to drive it. Also, the gas mileage in town has averaged 16! Better than I had expected

    This is NOT something you take Madison to soccer practice in. This is a 4x4 yuppie tank, a posh off-road vehicle. Imagine a Jeep built back when the Military set certain requirements on the base design (pre-Hummer era). As expected, gas mileage is awful. Downside: The "Ford Business Model" shows. Hmmm...4x4 off road vehicle that requires a $250 option in order to get floormats? I wonder if the Land Rover plant counts the squares on the toilet paper rolls and unscrews half the lightbulbs? Sounds like a corporate executive or two need to retake Marketing 110. That being said, if thats the only downside I can find, well, you be the judge.

    We just purchased our new Land Rover SE from the guys in Fort Worth. Great Dealership and we love our new ride! The ride is smooth and powerful for such a heavy vehicle. It is such a unique experience driving this vehicle.

    This vehicle is only comparable to a Sherman Tank when looking at its off road capability.Been very impressed at what its got me through and out of.To be honest most of the places i thought only mad or insane people would get through,ive saunted through with this vehicle.Fuel consumption is the only hindrance,otherwise good to look at and my wife looks hot in it!

  • On my 2nd Disco - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
    By -

    I am on my second Discovery ( the 1st was a 1996 Disco I). This one is #141 of the limited Camels Cup G4 Series. The machine shows the influence of the BMW design team; it goes a lot faster, a lot quicker, but seems less stable in snow withstock tires. The addition of Nokian SUV tires improves the traction markedly. It was one of the few SUVs that I can put my portable clinic in, and still have room for the kids and their stuff. The fuel milage is worse this Disco (12.5MPG) vs 15MPG on the prior Disco, but it had a smaller (4.ol) engine. I would look at the LR3 next.
