2000 Land Rover Discovery Series II Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers of the 2000 Land Rover Discovery Series II appreciate its off-road capabilities, build quality, and spaciousness. Many enjoy the adventurous feel and fun driving experience it offers. However, they often point out the high cost of ownership, poor fuel economy, and maintenance challenges as significant drawbacks."
* Performance - for a V8, acceleration could've been better * Build Quality - great... until we were involved in a hit-and-run accident... things just weren't the same again * Appearance - both interior and exterior styling * Cost of Ownership - gas mileage sucks! Our Suburban has a bigger engine & faster acceleration, but gets better mileage than the Disco II... probably due to the full-time 4WD. * Fun Factor - Yes, it was fun to drive and gave you plenty of confidence in the snow (or dirt/mud)...
June 27, 2009Its a LAND ROVER, so its THE BEST 4 X 4 X FAR. For a 3 ton vehicle Performance is outstanding. Build Quality- well let me tell you this bad boy was in water up to the dash for about 6 hours then puled it out put the key in started up (dash board was like a Christmas tree all the lights going off) took me 4 months to clean everything, the only thing that went bad was the amp, and speakers. Cost of Ownership= HIGH, unless you can do at least something on your own, change a spark plug maybe?.. Fun Factor= ITS SO MUCH FUN, its fun just to be siting in it.
August 4, 2009Performance - get through the rough stuff when needed Build - Exceptionally well bbuilt Appearance - Great, rugged look with all the necessities inside. In the process of getting a brand new paint job. Also love the fact that you sit up high on the road. Cost of ownership - gas maybe but we use it around town and to haul snowmobile trailer or when diving Fun Factor - Just love driving this thing

August 2, 2008Great model of cars, always reliable, strong, stable and comfortable
September 13, 2023This was a great vehicle. It was comfortable, looked good, great visibility, good power and tow capacity. With a bit of care the leather seating lasted extremely well. I regularly towed trailers or loaded the vehicle as needed. Off-roading was a great time. Even though, it was maintenance heavy and low gas mileage the pluses out-way the minuses. In fact, I had a harder time finding a good mechanic. Some dealerships are not that good, US specialty shops we're a problem as well. And many auto shops didn't know what they we're dealing with.
March 14, 2015good cornering with ace. td5 a bit thirsty and slow, great offroad. thinking mans defender, but not as pretty, Manual box good, to many ecu units, sunroofs always leak, rear air suspension great. Pretty good all rounder, would buy another.
August 26, 2009I had this car for 2 years, drove it about 100 000 km in the 2 years. Great to cruise with. Performs well offroad. All over great car!
April 9, 2008Great family vehicle, spaacious, awsome car.Will only change it for a new one.
April 1, 2008I enjoy the ability to go anywhere that I want with 7 passengers (if you have the optional safari seats), but the maintenance costs can be astronomical if you are not a DIYer. Performance is almost non-existant, and the braking power is soft.
December 6, 2014The vehicle is a lot of fun, and definitely reliable in many weather conditions. The fuel is expensive, and so are brakes, rotors, and tires. The Land Rover Discovery has an adventurous feel, and a level of safety that made me enjoy the vehicle.
