Discovery or Range Rover?
Discussion
I posted on here a while ago seeking opinions on TD5 Discovery's to replace my Freelander as the family/dog mobile.
My budget is about £17k and I was fancying a facelifted Disco TD5 ES Auto.
However, having looked around, I see that I can have a nice '02 Range Rover TD5 for about the same money. I do like the Disco but the style and image and look of the RR does appeal (as do the better residuals that I believe it would have)
My requirement is to use the car for the next 5 years or so to haul 2 young kids and a Labrador around the New Forest for muddy exploits and for family holidays kitted out with bikes/surf boards etc. My wife would use the car all week and I'd take over at the weekends.
Mileage will be lowish (7k per annum) and servicing will be done by a local independent.
Would a Disco or a Rangie be best suited to our needs? I've no idea what a Range Rover is like to drive (I've driven a Disco) or whether it'd be significantly more expensive to run.
