Grant Kidd Probably a top contender for the new Top gear crew! BBC will be quite happy with someone "practical" like him. And, as a hardcore top gear fan who said i'll never watch the new show, ill probably watch a few episode if he is in lol.

This is the best review i have ever seen of anything, the way he showed us the backseat space was fucking AMAZING! this guy should get a tv show where reviews stuff cause he sure is insanely talented!

This aged well 😂

I have owned a 2016 Discovery Sport for a year and I would recommend it to anyone in the market...with a few caveats. First, the powertrain as purchased was a huge let down. The turbo lag was languid, the transmission indecisive and the MPG was average at best (21 MPG overall). This was solved with a performance chip which corrected air/ fuel mixture, throttle response and corrected horsepower and torque curve. Now I can say that acceleration is on par with a Porsche Cayenne and I am now getting 28.9 MPG overall! Second, fit and finish. Fit was actually pretty good, and I experienced no squeaks/ rattles like some others complain about. Fingers crossed that it will continue. Finish was/ is not as good as my friends Range Rover, but then again, I purchased it CPO for $35,000 as compared to his tag of $68,000. I have also opted for some minor material changes such as stainless steel pedals, stainless steel center console cover and two storage trays from amazon. Lastly, off-road capability is very Wrangler-Like! I have forded over two feet of water and impressed all with a nice mud hole crossing display to help a stranded Silverado!

After three years of ownership I have traded it in for an Audi Q7 for two reasons. 1. Poor customer service at the Jaguar/Land Rover located in Charlotte NC. I made an appointment two weeks out for a service and had the appointment literally taken from me by a man right in front of me. When I confronted the service manager he explained that the man had bought three Range Rovers from them and was a preferred customer. 2. It did not do well while towing my 19 foot bass boat. Too light Brakes not powerful enough Blind spot monitoring system did not like trailering To be clear, it was a good SUV, I just wanted something different for towing purposes. I will not hold the poor customer experience against the Disco.

It was actually, but only after the performance chip. It also depends on the cayenne drivetrain and year. My best 0-60 time was 5.6 seconds after using the performance chip rated for 60 hp increase. On the dyno it came in at 274bhp at wheels and 296 lbs ft of torque.

I really like these more detailed and longer reviews.

the only car reviewer, who would start off the review from the rear kids seat. completely out of the box

Thanks for finally making a video Matt!

Can't argue with the practicality of this car. I think it looks good too. Just wait for JLR's new Diesel engine later in the year!

A very thorough review like always.

Truly a perfect car review, thank you very much!

Brilliant review and an absolutely fantastic car!

he is really great in reviewing. best reviewer so far. miss jackson is wonderful too

Hes back! Super review, very informative and practical tips. Car doesnt look that bad actually.Of course there are better looking cars out there, but at least a range rover is the daddy when it comes to off roading.

Finally! Matt is back :)

You're a great reviewer. This is what we needed on the new Top Gear, apply for the job when Harris gets the boot!

Thats more like it, proper reviews with a proper reviewer who has a sense of humour.

planning my dream for the next year. simple luxury and beautiful Land Rover Discovery

Best car review i have ever seen.

all the hate about the looks and interiors of this car is justified but there's actually not a better allrounder package than this car. This car will pass the test of time. The interiors though not being very exciting are one of the most practical found in cars of this range. The build quality is amazing and is one of the safest cars around as well. The biggest downside however is the 2.0 litre engine. If you are looking for a proper SUV that you won't change for the next 5 6 years and have other cars as well you can't go wrong with the discovery

We need more car reviews don't stop.

Popped into a dealer today and had a look at one of these...very impressed. It's well built, looks better in the flesh and is very practical. Those that are complaining of poor reliability, can you point me in the direction of your sources please?

Very well put together review. This bloke is a very good presenter. The way he actually demonstrates everything he is talking about, especially the rear seats was very impressive. Well done mate. I can't believe the amount of people talking down the interior. Okay its not as nice as the models above, but its all relative to price. This is 10 grand cheaper than an Evoque and half the price of a Range Rover, come on...

These videos are fantastic. He's extremely professional

wonderful review........true man

I know it's expensive compared to it's rivals, but it's a very practical and impressive all rounder, would make a great second hand buy with low mileage.

Huge hump? did they not use to be called a transmission tunnel? or am I just showing my age? Great review as usual.

Please keep reviews long as this one, it's much better :)

We tested it last friday and it was really good, but it's a shame that the suspension ruined it all. While it cornered well and dealt well with big bumps you could feel all the little ones which made the seats "rattle"

Car-buyer...Best car review site...EVER...

Great Practical Review

Love the new Disco Sport. I have a Evoque right now but sometimes need a little more room with my 3 and soon to be 4 dogs. I actually quite like the simplistic interior. I don't need all the luxury my Evoque has inside and would rather have the Disco Sports interior and not be afraid to have a little dirt or muck splashed on the inside or outside for that matter. I'm definitely going to check the new Discovery Sport out when it is available.

Loved it but no opening sunroof? Went with the Volvo XC60 on this basis as it was a close call anyway

I have the hse lux 2.2 with black pack ( same as tested here)and for me it looks great. mpg wise I have a heavy right foot but I’m still getting around 32mpg on ave...no it’s not a perfect car..there’s no such thing but as an all round package it works well and looks better than any bmw/Audi or Japanese equivalent.the interior fit and finish is better than the camera suggests and certainly feels more premium than a ford kuga for example even though they share components. Reliability wise the only problem I’ve ever had was a blocked fuel filter which Land Rover missed on last service(I know ..shocker that a main dealer cuts corners eh?😉).. I would say though make sure you have a warranty for peace of mind as no doubt any repairs will be expensive as with most premium suvs and you keep the battery tip top as the tailgate and stop start will drain it slightly if you do mostly town driving... as for the gearbox the paddle shifters are not necessary IMO with the 9 speed auto and are rarely used as they don’t really suit the cars performance especially with the single clutch gearbox...better off just using std drive mode which once you get used to the accelerator pedal pressure it gives an effortless drive with decent acceleration when called upon. off road I’ve personally only driven through muddy fields so far which was an absolute breeze. Adjustable suspension would be the cherry on the cake though.. pity it’s not present..for a car in this price bracket it should be standard.

Fantastic Review

Love this SUV, this will be my next purchase, by the way, cool shoes!

That leather Converse is so awesome...!

Nice review

Great review for a great car. I really want one!

I like it. The latest design series from Land Rover is pretty descent I think, certainly the exterior. The practicality of the car is pretty good as well and I like the interior. Still, I think the interior of the X3 is a bit nicer and it probably will drive quite a bit better but I haven't driven the Discovery Sport yet so I can't really tell.

Superman for his Review on cars

Great review. Great car.

what is the best 7-8 seater car to buy?

Hey Carbuyer, can u do a review for the new Honda HR-V pls?

Wow, I actually really like this car! :)

Funny you said PSP. Its long dead. But yeah Kids can comfortably nest there with charges on phones or pads.

Is that the best they could do with the interior?

WOW that red pullover is bright mate

Please do a review of the golf 7 r vs the BMW 135i or vs the a 45 amg

Great SUV, but let down by the interior. It's too plasticly and well, conservative.

Actually, after I watched this I went for testing this car and found the quality of material is fabulous except for that plastic part which I don't know how did they missed it in such a luxury SUV. However, I have never seen any of ultra luxury segment SUV owners make any use of the luggage compartment of their automobiles however big it might be.

You can also slide the seats back if you don't like the person behind you, also your head room is limited due to the panoramic sun roof

I really hope you guys can review the Volvo XC90 soon.

I’ll like to know the open roof is it double or single??

Gotta work hard and get this dream car 😤😤💪💪💪

can you now review the current version?

Matt is the best cars presenter ever

Nice review, you look alike with the car wow guy

hey carbuyer, is there any reason why you ceased kicking off with you stsrting signature ( the sound of an engine start)

How much would this exact trim run for in the US?

I like Land Rover Discovery SUV review - Carbuyer

Doe they get apple car play or is that an extras option?

Personally think this is the best land rover

Hey, can you review the new porsche cayenne and bmw x6 please?

This is the Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE LUX model not standard.

Where's the video with The defender?

That definitely was not getting out or into the back seat easily! I've looked at one and found it impossible to get in the back...I'm 6ft tall. You reviews are normally spot on... But that part was not true to how difficult it is. This car is a very small seven seater.

I'm think about getting one, how much is cost of ownership per year? I know Land Rover is usually pretty unreliable for used, the ones I'm looking at have about 30-40k miles on them.

is it ever Sunny over their?

My dream car

I would really think about buying this

Am I hearing it right? 44 mpg? Should I ask what is it's equivalent in US mpg?

Looking at SUVS though this is really nice and I like it quite a lot. I think for the price I'd just get a TRD pro 4runner

U only sit up high on the roads is coz it lifts up automatically if u do over 30 mph. There is a lowering car button inside somewhere which will lower ur car down if u wish so

So this replaces LR2. So where is LR4/Discovery4 replacement and when will it be here?

review the new disco plz

Is this to replace the freelander

What do you recommend for someone who is in love with her current Freelander? She's dying and i'm gonna have to get a new one soon. The Freelander is no more and i'm looking for the closest relative.

@carbuyer

+imakefoodhappen Well the Discovery Sport is probably the closest blood relative, but it's pretty expensive. We'd recommend having a look at the Mazda CX-3 and CX-5 (depending how big you want it!) or if you want something cheap and cheerful, the Dacia Duster. What is it about the Freelander you love so much? Is 4x4 a priority?

@imakefoodhappen

9 жыл бұрын

+Carbuyer Well they're all incredibly expensive here in Turkey so i may as well find my favorite. I've had my Freelander for more than 10 years, i'm just so used to it and i always thought i would just get the exact same one when the time comes, but there is not one Freelander left in Turkey : ) 4x4 is a priority, yes and i don't like the fancy look of the most newer ones like the Evoque. I like a more sports, almost military look, but i don't want something very big. Freelander felt like the perfect size. The Dacia Duster looks attractive, i should look into that. I always felt very safe in the Freelander, do you think The Dacia Duster is as safe?

+imakefoodhappen The Dacia Duster is probably pretty comparable to a ten-year-old Freelander in terms of safety, but it depends on the specifications of the vehicle in Turkey. The Duster is terrific value for money and it performs properly off-road (I drove one a couple of months ago and it was very sure-footed in the mud!). It probably won't feel as 'premium' as a modern Land Rover but in terms of practicality and cost, it's hard to beat.

CarBuyer, why is Matt using cm to tell us his height rather than feet and inches? The imperial system is the normal system to use to reference heights!

Yes, but do the hazard lights work? Its a Land Rover after all.

That red top is killing my eyes

Good reviue

How about after so many good reviews of one of the best luxury and sports cars(2014 S-Class,Maserati Quattroporte,BMW i8 and Bentley Continental GT) you guys also post some reviews of the Rolls Royce Ghost or Bentley Flying Spur . These would be greatly appreciated

Nice car

Whats the music?

Yet another brilliant Jaguar Land Rover product, my favourite SUV until the Jag F-Pace comes out soon!

Is more reliable than freelander 2? I like this car : D

Gave a like for playstation portable mention. Great review tho

After seeing in in action I really want one. I know it is a little plasticky but I could really go for a bottle of Evian right now :-). Nice car, if overpriced. Wait for the Ingenium engine though.

how accurate is the European model to the American model??

Mat is the best

*Wait for the facelift in 2018.* New centre console, revised door casings, new lights, new alloys, digital dials and new front and rear design accents. New colours inside and outside, with the likely withdrawal of Granite interior colour. Disco Sport 2 is *already* in early stage development, pencilled in for early 2021. Likely to be exactly the same size as this car.

Price?

what's the name of the song?!!
