Large SUV - Land Rover Discovery 3

The Discovery 3 is the Swiss Army knife of the automotive world – and arguably the ultimate family car

land rover disocvery

The Discovery 3 is the Swiss Army knife of the automotive world – andarguably the ultimate family car. With seven proper seats, a huge bootand four-wheel drive, it can go anywhere and carry pretty much anything.

And that’s not all. The big Disco’s image rivals that of an executivesaloon, and it is as at home on the farm as it is parked outside a poshrestaurant. Its distinctive looks and practical cabin make it a greatall-rounder, while the smooth ride comfort adds to its everyday appeal.

You can pick up decent examples of the Land Rover legend with the 2.7-litre diesel. Its straight-line pace won’t set the world alight,but it is strong enough and the Disco is a highly capable tow car.Innovative Terrain Response also makes heading off-road easier thanever. It optimises the suspension settings, traction control andthrottle response to suit a variety of conditions – all at the twist ofa single rotary control.

With a budget of £15,000, there is plenty of choice available. High-mileage examples start from aslittle as £10,000, but our £15,000 figure should bring a 2005 05-regmodel with 60,000 miles on the clock within reach. Higher spec and themore desirable HSE versions command a premium, so you’ll need to target an older car with a bigger mileageor buy from a private advertiser if you want the extra kit this brings.
