I have a p250 hse r dynamic, it’s smooth, super quiet and reasonably powerful. With normal driving it’s a joy to use. Only down side is mpg, but apart from that it’s an awesome luxurious vehicle. I have owned a Merc glc and test driven a glb, give me the disco sport all day long.

@maxdepasquale2351 4 года назад

Love your shoes :-) Anyway, great review. As a nitpicker, I'd suggest mentioning the fuel consumption given by the trip computer. It's not perfect, but it is better than the WLTP cycle.

@aidanwilson6035 4 года назад

Really like the styling of the Disco Sport , especially in orange , it stands out from all the anonymous designs of its rivals that look the same for every model , ideal for families who want a flexible & practical space. Surprisingly , no mention that the Land Rover is easily the best in class off-road , but i guess we know that already !. Reliability needs to get better but there is a big difference between complaints about an infotainment system that is a second too slow to respond & a mechanical breakdown were JLR vehicles are no worse than average , many dependability surveys put Audi & BMW last !.

If you want to go off roading then this is the car for you, if you want to do long journeys in comfort on a mix of motorways and backroads there are other SUV's (or SAV's) that will do a much better job. But for all it's faults the Disco Sport will be an incredibly popular car as the Land Rover name tag is so wanted by those on the school run as it is second only to the Range Rover in many people's eyes.

@robbie007 3 года назад

@logtothebase2 4 года назад

Gear box is bigger issue than the motor. Hit the accelerator and there is a sense energy is spinning away in the touque converter while it sorts the cogs out. LR should have put electric motor on the rear diff fill out touque to the wheels. either way I would still have one.

@Jon-zj2nj 4 года назад

logtothebase2 I’ve driven nearly 80,000 miles in mine and the auto box just doesn’t behave that way; it’s a few years since I’ve driven an automatic ‘box that feels like that and it certainly doesn’t with the 8 speed ZF in the Range Rover 👍

@robbie007 3 года назад

Yep agree. This 9 speed auto is terrible. I never get smooth ride in quick changes. Floor it get terrible lag. Awful. I keep it in sport drive permanently as that's the only bearable drive. So many issues with drive, performance and body roll I regret the purchase.

Hinting that a 180PS diesel car might be under-powered as it “might struggle a bit if it is full to the gunnels and going up a steep hill” is a bit silly..... that is what gear boxes are for. I drive a 3.5 tonne Boxer van with 110PS and on steep hills... like 1:6.... I put in 2nd gear and it sails up..... or I bash it into 1st....

@1ridgy 3 года назад

The most indecisive auto box I’ve ever had the misfortune to use and by far the most uncomfortable car to drive long distance. I kept it one year then sold it, at a loss obviously but glad to get shot of it. I’m all for flying the flag but JLR are going to have to up there game in the (fairly) small SUV market if they want to be competitive.

@robbie007 3 года назад

Agree. Bought new one and traded in after 12 months. Worst auto box. Just awful 9 sp. Not a drivers car. X3 so much better. Loads body roll and uncomfortable.

@Jon-zj2nj 4 года назад

Andy, I’ve owned 6 of their cars, currently having clocked up 302,000 miles between them. Two colleagues run XF’s, both with over 100,000 miles showing. One of them bought their XF after having been a lifelong BMWist and having been treated disgracefully by BMW, when the camchain snapped on his 4 year old 520d; he will never return to BMW and he wants to run his XF “forever”! My nephew has now run his XF for over a year and he’s delighted with it. My first Freelander 2 is still with its second owner, at 9 years and nearly 200,000 miles and he won’t be parted with it. I read a lot of comments damning JLR reliability on here, usually from people with no direct experience of having owned one, or from those who’ve read those comments and treated them as gospel. Please don’t dismiss them based purely on reading unreliable Internet gossip 👍

@badboy250984 4 года назад

John Hooker Thats something I don’t get. Is it really that bad, it seem everyone is talking about the reliability but you still see a lot of Land Rover on the road. I personally haven’t seen a Land Rover broken down on the motorway before. Surely if buying new you have 3 years warranty with optional to buy extended warranty, surely anything that is not wear and tear will cover right?

@andyml1 4 года назад

Potter Li one just has to refer to the brand’s performance in customer satisfaction and reliability ratings. I bought Lexus as a result and am very happy with my decision.

@chrismorris9864 4 года назад

terrible, Ive got a P200, had it a day before the engine light came on, doing 21mpg WTF

@Jon-zj2nj 4 года назад

chris morris It’s no surprise, many hybrids aren’t economical unless you do trips within the capacity of the battery. They are usually little more than a CO2 emissions cheat to get around company car BiK taxation. It’s little wonder that they’ve been added to the UK’s 2032/5 ban.

@badboy250984 4 года назад

I’m actually thinking about the P200 SE. Is the car really that bad? I want a 5+2 from a premium brand. Is either this or the Mercedes GLB. My only problem with the normal petrol GLB is that the engine is 1.3 with only 161bhp but the car is around 300kg light then the disco sport and FWD only.

@chrismorris9864 4 года назад

Had the car about 7 months now, it does feel premium and is decent to drive, I had a kia sorrento before this and its a step up in quality. Issues are the mpg currently doing 22mpg in economy mode motorway or urban, plus the accelerator pedal is really light and jumpy making it impossible to take off smoothly. If u don't do many miles its not a bad car, but don't expect it to do anywhere near the 33mpg that's advertised.

Large suv ? You can’t be serious. I also disagree that it has high driving position, that’s one of the reasons I wouldn’t buy it . You sit lower in it than a Freelander 2. Who in their right mind would pay £50 k for a wee car that can go off road ?

@jerrymyahzcat 4 года назад

“Even with a sunroof”? You do realise having a sunroof gives you More headroom not less as the glass is flat with the top of the roof and there’s no lining in the way?

@Jon-zj2nj 4 года назад

jerrymyahzcat The problem with sunroofs is that the driver’s head is usually under the roof lining surrounding the glass, rather than under the glass itself (as the reviewer’s does in the above video). The roof lining is lower than it would normally be, in order to accommodate the extra support structure (or opening and drainage mechanism) of the sunroof.
