D5 sadly gone

Sad to say after 18500 trouble free miles my Nov 68 discovery 5, which was great, has gone on its journey to a new home...whoever gets it will have a good car, although its been used on the farm, off road, towing, motorway, city work absolutely everything its designed for - but im not sad to see it go

...

Im not sad because its been replaced by this June 19, despite both being HSE Lux (last one black this is the premium grey), this has all the options (and the last had a lot) i could tick, ticked...i have to say, its awesome, love it more than the last - new features are ace its now effectively able to drive itself and i love having 360 cameras back...all in brilliant! There werent any build issues with the last, but i can help but feel this none solihull car is built better too Shocked dual view front screen got my mate and the HUD is now essential

Without doubt, the best Discovery ever owned and im close to saying the best land rover owned and ive owned all of them, some multiple times. I have to say, even if you are a d4 lover...get into one and try it for a bit - you wont go back. (I even sat in the 3rd row seats for a drive to see and they are all great)

I dont think they are falling, certainly nothing out of line with the industry...but absolutely not

They make some awesome machines, sometimes pricey - but this is a great car (and im not sponsored to say that).

One thing ive learnt from each one ive changed - is they are getting always better, but as ever getting the right spec is critical.

Its hard work...not just using the peddles but when it does its queue stuff on the last one you still needed to keep it in the middle...this one does that - its a dream on the motorway and in the usual motorway queues

Looks good Thumbs Up

I can’t see me returning to one though, the price has went through the roof since I bought mine.
