Thinking of a new discovery..few questions My wife is due to change the car this summer and I am starting to look at some options. If has to be a 4x4, have had a Merc ML before in 2009, but the new ones dont really do it for me. Also had a RRS in 2007 which we loved but the models are just too much money. She has then suddenly suggested a Discovery. My initial thoughts on spec would be either white or black GS with the black pack, Xeons and running boards. However is there a new discovery due in 2015?? We would be running it on PCP over 3 yrs so dont wont to get annoyed seeing the new models driving around not long after. Also is the GS spec reasonable compared to a HSE? or should we consider a used one ex PCP so at least we can always change?

Who knows about new models! All speculation! This is my Dad's... Click image to enlarge (Red one too). It is a lovely car, I must be honest! Personally, I think XS Spec is ample on the Discos. GS is a bit low for my liking, but everybody is different. The HSE gives you the 'gimmicks' if thats what you want. I'd consider a used one and avoid PCP if possibly, as the depreciation is shocking for the first few months! An engine to TDi for! "Land Rover- Proudly turning drivers into mechanics since 1948"

GUM97 Member Since: 05 Feb 2012 Location: Cheshire Posts: 3555	2012MY Onwards I would suggest. You'll get the 8 Speed rather than the old 6 speed, which is much smoother! But it also has the rotary gear selector  An engine to TDi for! "Land Rover- Proudly turning drivers into mechanics since 1948"
