Well the Discovery Sport made the consumer reports worst list, exactly what I found about the ride being firmer than my firm X4
Land Rover Discovery Sport Shoppers covet this eccentric English SUV brand for vanity reasons. Though the Disco belongs to a family that includes the stately Range Rover, its engine seems flat-footed and the transmission often feels in the wrong gear. Handling is lumbering, and the wheels ride as though made of concrete. The infotainment system seems dated. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/m...2015/index.htm |

They have just released a new engine, which may help and a new range topper which starts at £47k But, to my mind they are not as distinctive as the freelander it replaced, nor as premium looking/feeling as the evoque. And a world away from the real range rovers

The DS is a nice looking motor and they come with the right classless image. The 7 seat idea is brilliant and the tech seems ok but for me the build quality and handling fell a long way short of the X3. I care more about the engine and the way the car feels to drive than the looks which is why the X3 was top of my list. Oh and a whacking discount helped along the way
