My LR Discovery loan car has arrived... It's brand new with only 50 miles on the clock. It certainly lack the dynamics of the X5 and the interior is relatively old-fashioned looking. The sat nav screen is very small and low-res, the reversing camera is pretty poor compared with the BMW's. Fuel economy will never match the X5.
The good news is that there are no rattles, no squeaks the heated seats are good and the SDV6 diesel engine sounds way better than the BMW in-line 6 - really throaty and no clatter whatsover. Even though the Discovery is way heavier than the BMW it still goes really well - not that you'd want to push it too hard since it feels like it might easily topple over!
Got the order for my new car placed - delivery August 2015!
Need to undo the coding mods done to the X5 now!
