A really lovely car with space for a wheelchair and much more, which we've had for almost 14 years and driven over 200,000 km with. Now the gearbox has failed and we'd like to buy a new one.

Land Rover Discovery

The Land Rover Discovery blends genuine off-road prowess with grown-up luxury, making it a smart choice for buyers who want weekend adventure and weekday refinement in one package. It feels suitably rugged when the road ends and wonderfully civilized when the tarmac begins — a practical family hauler that also enjoys getting a little dirty.
