Overview & Reviews
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.
- Superior off-road ability, classic SUV styling, quality interior materials, lots of head- and legroom.
- 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.

Testament to its toughness - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
By msn619 - November 6 - 8:19 pmAs we all know right now the mid west and east cost are on blizzard watch and accidents are all over the city and I was not exception, I was on a stop light waiting to turn left when a sliding car hit me head on maybe around 20mph, I was ok thankfully my 2 yrs old was not with me. His passat was wreaked and my 00 discovery II was badly damaged but no oil or coolant leak, I was able to drive home 10 miles after all that. For 8yrs my discovery II never left me stranded, as long as I keep up with maintenance, she was good to me.

A truly special car!! - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
By twisties4me - October 15 - 11:23 pmGreat Car!! Most misunderstood car out there. If youre not into having maintenance done then buy one of those look alike disposable cars, do not buy a Landrover. Excellent on-road or off. In 115k miles I certainly have not had any of the nightmarish leaks and electrical problems that Im reading about, but then, Ive owned it since new and maintain it, with much affection I might add. Ive never ceased to be amazed with the quality of the switch gear etc. which we have BMW to thank for. The car is as solid as a rock! Stangely enough, for such a tall ride, it also handles rather nicely too. I love my Landy!

Disapointment with Landrover - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
By paulnaples - October 10 - 2:00 amWe bought the top of the line 2003 in August....traded it last week.. It was too hard to drive, terrible turning radius and horrible to get a baby seat in and out of the back seat...It cost $50.00 a fill uo and would only get 250 mile per tank.....We couldnt wait to unload this huge albatross.....I am not a pessimistic person but I would never recommend one of these heaps to anyone...

My 04 Rover - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
By Hardest Dog - September 11 - 4:20 pmThis is my first Land Rover, and I love the way it drives and manuvers through traffic. The body style stands out proudly and demands respect. I am looking forward to taking it off road in the near future! Catch you on the trail.

NOT QUITE SURE? - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
By TL - August 23 - 12:56 pmI come have had 2 Porsches, 5 BMWs previous to the Disco. I have always admired its unique design, quite eclectic, old world British design that has refused to give into recent silly modern morphisms. The interior design is also very luxurious and utilitarian, dual sunroofs, bun warmers, powered everything.. I find the Disco sluggish, have to keep it in Sport Mode most of the time, which further impairs the already embarassing gas mileage. I have found Land Rover to be second rate as far as service (compared to BMW and Porsche), they do not extend "Range Rover" courtesy and customer service to Disco owners.

Discovery SE - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
By Orl Land Rover - August 6 - 10:00 amI bought this car brand new and have had a great time with it. I tow a boat and its brakes are amazing. The ride is extremely stable, even when cornering hard. Very fun to drive and not everyone has one!

Best of the Last - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
By DevilDisco - July 22 - 3:13 pmI have had our Black on Black SE7 For almost 5 years, quickly approaching 110k miles. The vehicles performed flawlessly just before Christmas when the snow storm hit Virginia. Most vehicles were fighting for traction on I-95, locked the Diff and the only thing that slowed us down was traffic and caution. The snow came down so sudden the roads had not been plowed. My wife was even driving at that time. She hates driving in snow but in the Disco she was very comfortable, as were our two little ones. Get it for capability and never having to get stuck snow storms and foul weather. Love it for the looks, and fill your tank when she is thirsty. Do the preventative Maintenance its cheaper.

Subaru, Jeep and Pathfinder combined - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
By Nakoosa - July 11 - 2:00 am98 SD. a small, antique dining set fit nicely in the back. After securing my antiques, I headed for some 4x4 fun. 4x4 ability, especially in mud and on steep hills, is amazing! On-road performance is Very surprising. At first, I felt high, narrow and top-heavy, but after 4- wheeling and some highway time, 85-90 mph felt absolutely solid, fun, and safe. In the past, I had balked at this vehicle because of its gas mileage; but when you dont want to compromise luxury and pure off-road ability, you just have to pay for the little deficits! Replaces 2001 Sub. outback wagon ltd, nissan pathfinder and jeep cj-5 with no compromises except gas mileage!

its terrific! - 2004 Land Rover Discovery
By gbstage - April 5 - 10:00 amits fun,elegant, reliable and feels like it could climb the side of a building with no effort. zero problems, built like a tank, great vision, two sun roofs with screens and a proper english speaking navigation system. only minus is premium gas and poor mileage.
