12/5/2023 0 Comments Landrover discovery sport used![]() ![]() One also has to consider this is a low-cost Land Rover product. When I first test drove the Discovery I was taken a bit back by the sparse interior by Land Rover standards, but all the dealer had was black. Granted I live in a small town and I didn’t buy the car based on its 0-60 rating. The Discovery Sport in sports mode is super smooth in acceleration and I have not experienced any of the down-shifting issues mentioned in the many reviews. I had a Mercedes GL450, which we found too hard to get in and out of and quite a sterile interior, and compared to the Discovery it was not nearly as comfortable and the transmission was more cumbersome/computerized than the Discovery…by far. We also test drove the full-size Sport before buying the Discovery and found the almost twice as expensive Sport to have clunky breaking, albeit a luxurious interior. While waiting 3 months for delivery I was reading the reviews and frankly had been quite worried by the bad press. Original: We took delivery of a 2016 Discovery Sport this week and have to say we couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Even tho I only I have 6K miles at 2.5 yrs I had the 30K mile check-up: $750. Update 2018: After 2.5 years, 6K miles had my battery go up, but that's normal for Florida. In 2016 I paid $41K off the lot w/tax, it's worth $29.6K today (Private sale). These 2016s seem to be holding value pretty well. I have seen the new version of the Discovery and I can't say I like the view of the boot. No complaints or issues since my last review. Not sure how this works with my old review, but I'll still loving this car. Update 2020: Edmunds wanted me to update my review. I'd never want to go out of warrantee on an EV. But since I now own 2 Jags, and plan to keep them a long time, this is of concern. He did finally find one for $3700 for 3 years, so I had to adjust my sale price $500. One thing that was interesting is the Discovery buyer wanted to buy a warranty plan but no company would offer them on LR. So I sold my Discovery for $27,500 (private) and bought my own iPace. It's an amazing car! But she wouldn't let me drive it. Update 2021: I bought my wife a Jag iPace EV for her 60th. ![]()
