Wife's DD is an '03 Disco. While in was under warranty the car ran great.
The last year and a half since, the truck has been a nightmare. Intermittent Traction Control/ABS/Hill Descent lights flickering, two complete brake jobs (truck only has ~48,000 miles), Head gasket leak, exhaust manifold leak, bad O2 sensors, bad door lock, and some kind of weird sloshing noise from somewhere on the passenger side of the engine compartment (that no one can figure out but they do hear it) has cost us an additional $5,000+ in maintenance so far. That is more than my BMW, 2 Porsches, and 300ZX turbo has costs us in the same timeframe.... combined!
As a matter of fact it's in the shop right now getting some of the stuff listed above. Bill so far: ~$3,500 and they have had it for over a week.
Also, it's a big vehicle that gets really bad fuel economy but can’t hold much at all. The handling is sloppy; it brakes poorly, and accelerates like a sloth. Ergonomically it's a mess and I don't find it comfortable at all.
Oh well. It does look cool and wifey loves it so that's all that matters, right?
