Land Rover Discovery (Old)

Overall Average Rating - 80.5%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 100th

Having spent the past four years in the bottom 10, the old-shape Disco has finally scooped the dubious honour of being the UK's least satisfying car to own. Owners told us that it is unreliable, awkward to drive and painfully slow. And while practicality is good, in terms of running costs and build quality, few cars do it as badly as the old Discovery

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 7th)

What a leap up the chart! You say the Discovery and Freelander are so good to own, they wipe out the bad memory of older models. Sales are struggling, yet Land Rover still has the support of customers.
