***** Well, you are entitled to your own opinion and I am entilted to disagree with you:) One man's meat is another man's poison after all. Hope you'll find the car you think is reliable and go on your merry way!
These are great off-road. I’ve had mine in the Australian high country, in the sandy desert dunes and along long stretches of rough outback road. All in super comfort.
That button isn't for "rear differential lock". The locking diffs in the LR3/LR4 are completely automatic. There is no direct user control. The various Terrain Response modes affect when the lock is automatically used, but that is the extent of your control. What was being confused for a diff lock button is related to keeping the Land Rover in "access height" with its air suspension.
Have an 16 LR4 HSE, love it, the only car I can drive without dodging pot holes in New York City, and I do agree with the throttle response comment, but it's a truck you will learn how to plan your moves on the highways few steps ahead, and how to use the brakes less.
The production of this show is to great for 720p60fps. You need to be at least 1440p60fps. You are the best car show for some laid back top notch car tech show
Great video as always. Im very tempted to get one over an X5 that would suit me better in day to day. This is not the nicest LR/RR but definitely my favorite.
When he says “the seats go more or less flat” and then shows folding down the rear seats, he doesn’t seem to know how to actually lower (not just fold down) the second row seats, which makes the whole rear TOTALLY flat behind the driver and front seat passenger...
He obviously does not know the car very well as he has no idea of how to fold the second row completely flat - it's simple, just pull the tag on the front of the seat and it goes flat to the floor.
One of these entered an accident a few yrs ago & it split in half,I was a witness to that & have the pics for proof on my FB.I would expect it hold up better for being quality.
They are a luxury off road car that can actually go off road. And are considered one of the best off road vehicles there is. 50k is reasonable for one considering what it can do.
Great video, I love your model has the Arabia brown seats, and would love a supercharged version only twin turbos in the Uk, but had ecu remapped and now running at 300bhp instead 255, I have special edition landmark, which sits between HSE and HSE lux, I do have full roof bars surround sound TVs screens in back of front head rests, Windsor leather facings but Wade control 360 all round cameras auto front light dimming and cool box is all options on on landmark special edition of I have and late 2016 last one JLR made, regards mark
I totally desgarre with you on the gauges comment , I have the same discovery and I can see all the gauges from any position , I'm 6,2" , is just a meter of adjust the steering wheel and seat . That's the problem when you make public comments in something that you don't know !
twistedsolomanboy Me too dude 6' 1" to be exact and not a problem. Some folks will find the smallest things to complain about. I don't have a problem with collapsing my rear seats either kinda fun to me.
+Art S Two available engines come from Ford, some rather big components. I was also surprised to see the Evoque had a 2.0L Ecoboost engine under the hood.
Cooley has the right to complain about this vehicle, because Land Rovers are unreliable, according to Consumer Reports. When the interface fails, the audio, Bluetooth phone, climate, and navigation won't work. If he were to have a Land Rover break down on him, he would be so mad about calling a tow truck to get it fixed.
The 90's? Wasn't it just last year they were @ the bottom of the list for reliability in Europe & Consumer reports?...If you like the vehicle buy it,but don't downplay the fact that these vehicles don't last as you'd like it too without spending money here & there.
What's the point of 60fps? I rather 1080p... Is it off-focus-bad filming skill or just my monitor??? If not for the CNET badge, I thought my sight is bad today!!!
Leo the Weirdo LEDs are dimmed by turning them on and off very quickly. So when you record it, the camera will pick up times when it is switched off hence the flashing.
Sun roof is good enough, Nothing good about panoramic roof, dangerous if wood fall on the roof, squeaky sound when you turn & drive upward to the junction, hot during sunny day, leaking chances are very high if the internal drain pipe block up.. 😀
Its hard to believe that people will pay that much for a car that is put together so poorly. 67,000.00 would be a lot of money to me and I know I wouldn't want to even pay half of that for such a mix car.
It's a shame the tdv6 engines in them is like playing Russian roulette when you drive it because eventually bang snapped crank they should of done the v8td the same in range rovers
60k isn't all that bad, isn't the new Escalade like 75k?. I'd get it for that much only if I knew there wasn't a redesign around the corner. They should preserve this design the way Mercedes Benz does with their G suv. I'd just replace that infotainment system with a tablet or something because that's awful. Also for that price you can get a beautifully equipped Jeep Grand Cherokee, with better everything basically.
My mom has a 2008 LR3 with the 4.4L V8, A 6 speed automatic, & it's such a gas guzzler. One of the worst MPG ratings for the class of SUVs it competed with at the time
Anyone who buys Land Rover and Range Rover over a 4 Runner or LandCruiser is an idiot unless you're a vapid celebrity who needs to flaunt their status symbol at award ceremonies and never gonna go offroad in which case the Porsche Cayenne is a better bet.
TO THE CONSUMER... My LR3 was an unreliable pain on my pocket and in the a$$ (pause). I had an '05 and only got a little over $2k for it on trade in. If you MUST have a Land Rover, lease it then unload that money pit.
Taking the Mick, can't make efficient cars, find a problem with someone who can, VW for instance. Compare the mpg with a Ford pick up the biggest smile gas guzzler on the planet, and have the neck to ask for compensation, for giving you a better class of car, sad people.
This is the sweet spot between old school and new land rovers
Exactly
Have been owning a LR4 for several years now. Best SUV ever! Reliable, chunky, and super spacious.
***** Well, you are entitled to your own opinion and I am entilted to disagree with you:) One man's meat is another man's poison after all. Hope you'll find the car you think is reliable and go on your merry way!
No timing chain issue?
Sam Rocker correct and not just your opinion but that of proper off road experts.
These are great off-road. I’ve had mine in the Australian high country, in the sandy desert dunes and along long stretches of rough outback road. All in super comfort.
Land Rover is my car of choice in Gran Turismo!
These trucks are super solid and planted. Very fun to drive...
premiercconstruction fhde

Yes I spotted that, I have the D4 3 ltr diesel.
Have an 16 LR4 HSE, love it, the only car I can drive without dodging pot holes in New York City, and I do agree with the throttle response comment, but it's a truck you will learn how to plan your moves on the highways few steps ahead, and how to use the brakes less.
any issues 7 years later?
Best car ever made I drive a Discovery and wouldn't change it for anything
"Best car ever made".....That was the best JOKE I've heard all week,thanks 😂.
Amen! Above & Beyond
When I see them on top the charts for reliability I'll believe that,BUT until then keep on drinking that Ford & Tata Motors juice ;)
Thank you Cnet for listening to people, thank you.

charlie woodstock dumb yank that’s why.
He obviously does not know the car very well as he has no idea of how to fold the second row completely flat - it's simple, just pull the tag on the front of the seat and it goes flat to the floor.
And from 1:55 onwards is the reason CNET and Cars should *always* equal Cooley.
Ahhh, Cooley. Love this guy's reviews
When you’re watching this and realize this mans driving around in hour home town lol. Gotta love Marin lol.
Hell yeah
Cooley is back
Hay cooley is back PLEASE STAY.
One of these entered an accident a few yrs ago & it split in half,I was a witness to that & have the pics for proof on my FB.I would expect it hold up better for being quality.

+dan dare read the story & call yourself the ass,@least I was a witness to see the piece of shit scattered all over the street after it broke apart.
Actually NOT an LR4 in your news link, but no worries...!
That’s not an LR4 that’s a Range Rover
@@penvon also the driver was drunk
I want one of these so bad
That 60fps looks great but for the price this car does not.
They are a luxury off road car that can actually go off road. And are considered one of the best off road vehicles there is.
50k is reasonable for one considering what it can do.
Square boxy land rovers are back with the new defender.

1:56 to 2:07 Priceless :)
Cooley for President!
5655 lbs?? Holy crap!!
Sorry for the other guys but Cooley's Car review is in another league! So just don't do it
There are better soccer-mom status trucks, but if you're off-roading this one's worth a look.
I really miss Cooley....really need reviews/new ones on newer vehicles.
Damn these cars need check lists I swear
Interesting the Uk versions only come in diesel with plenty of torque
I totally desgarre with you on the gauges comment , I have the same discovery and I can see all the gauges from any position , I'm 6,2" , is just a meter of adjust the steering wheel and seat . That's the problem when you make public comments in something that you don't know !
I'm 6'5 and don't have this issue either
I look at the likes vs dislikes and from that I know that Cooley doing the review. If not ... SKIP
Can you guys do a 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Extended Wheelbase. Please thank you
Vincent Suraty They should do reviews on the new Discovery with the 3.0L SC V6 & the diesel engine
I'm 6ft and see the dials no problem
twistedsolomanboy Me too dude 6' 1" to be exact and not a problem. Some folks will find the smallest things to complain about. I don't have a problem with collapsing my rear seats either kinda fun to me.
I'm 6'4 and no issue with seeing all instruments. Maybe lower the seat, looks like he didn't...same deal with lower seats going flat config
This is a volvo xc 90 with some ford bits, good vehicle if funds are not an issue
+Art S Two available engines come from Ford, some rather big components. I was also surprised to see the Evoque had a 2.0L Ecoboost engine under the hood.
What happened to the shelby Mustang video you guys just put up?
Love my LR4 LUX Love it!!
Not sure what the issue was with dash visibility? I’m 6’4” and I can see the gauges just fine.
I am 5.7" I can see the dash visibility fine..
Why is it called an LR 4? Isn't it a Discovery 4?
American market changed from discovery to LR in 2005.
Hey cooley! What type of phone do you have?
Thanks
Yeahhhh Cooley !!!
In Britain they are called land rover discoverie. Do you have defenders in the U.S.?
They are called Discovery anywhere other than the US, I feel bad for you Americans for your lack of Land Rovers LOL
I wonder what the reasons are for changing the name in the US?
Interesting.... I would have expected people to dislike alpha numerical naming, it is more confusing.
Hi to SAMUEL STEAD and no the Defender is not soldiers in the U.S,those here are press cars, imports, or old ones when they did in the 1990's.
Whats the difference between the LR2 & LR4?
Nathan Parker Do you mean the LR3 which this is based on? Because this is basically an updated LR3

bit too much wind noise
his window is open...

Roller sail
"Over 80% of all land rovers are still on the road." ---------- probably on the side of the road gathering dust and rust.
Roller sail Assuming that is correct first where is your source and second where did the other 20% go? Holiday?
Yeah its true, Land Rovers are really unreliable cars.
The 90's? Wasn't it just last year they were @ the bottom of the list for reliability in Europe & Consumer reports?...If you like the vehicle buy it,but don't downplay the fact that these vehicles don't last as you'd like it too without spending money here & there.
....& considering they've been "good" the last 6 yrs,that doesn't sound like the 90's to me.we're in 2015 & not 2006.
YESSSS COOOLLLLLEEEYYYYYY
What's the point of 60fps? I rather 1080p... Is it off-focus-bad filming skill or just my monitor??? If not for the CNET badge, I thought my sight is bad today!!!
Americans: Confused about any car that isn't a Ford. You can't see the dials, because you don't know how to operate the steering wheel adjustment.
0.14 lol are the wheels moving
you can see the lug nuts spinning
looks great hate the new one
60 FPS baby! Very cool.
As for the car, it's nice, but I probably wouldn't buy it even if I could afford it.
Why do people who are 6 ‘ always have to state it?
Why are the front lights some times blinking when he drives forwards?
its the camera
Andreas Torgrimsen Eggesvik That's what happens when you record LEDs with a camera, for whatever reason.
Leo the Weirdo LEDs are dimmed by turning them on and off very quickly. So when you record it, the camera will pick up times when it is switched off hence the flashing.
Sun roof is good enough, Nothing good about panoramic roof, dangerous if wood fall on the roof, squeaky sound when you turn & drive upward to the junction, hot during sunny day, leaking chances are very high if the internal drain pipe block up.. 😀

60 fps video is superb 100 times to 30p...
It's a shame the tdv6 engines in them is like playing Russian roulette when you drive it because eventually bang snapped crank they should of done the v8td the same in range rovers
4:54 - That's me... cant see shit
The 19 mpg figure is what it does when it is being towed by the recovery vehicle (in order to keep the little fridge in the centre console running)
Hater! I've got the V8 and get 20mpg driving at 80mph highway. And no, I never needed a recovery vehicle in 75k miles
You aren't just stupid, you are epic stupid. No sense
60k isn't all that bad, isn't the new Escalade like 75k?. I'd get it for that much only if I knew there wasn't a redesign around the corner. They should preserve this design the way Mercedes Benz does with their G suv. I'd just replace that infotainment system with a tablet or something because that's awful. Also for that price you can get a beautifully equipped Jeep Grand Cherokee, with better everything basically.
Roller sail Not really, the defender is more utility than luxury. I see what you mean though.
Roller sail too tame? G63 has a twin turbo v8!
The G63/G65 is the 4X4 SUV that the 6X6 is based off of
ahhh classic cooley review lol
Why not just give us full HD videos instead of this 720p 60fps shit?
My mom has a 2008 LR3 with the 4.4L V8, A 6 speed automatic, & it's such a gas guzzler. One of the worst MPG ratings for the class of SUVs it competed with at the time
Palm Treo hahaha
Anyone who buys Land Rover and Range Rover over a 4 Runner or LandCruiser is an idiot unless you're a vapid celebrity who needs to flaunt their status symbol at award ceremonies and never gonna go offroad in which case the Porsche Cayenne is a better bet.
Cause driving a Porsche is not flaunting in any way!
Ok I will not buy one
4Runner has a 5 speed auto and no push button start . No thanks 🤢
This may go down as one of the worst reviews ever.
This is what I call the £1000 car....
Every time it goes wrong it costs £1000 to fix.😁
Especially if you go the main dealers !!
Give me a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee any day over this.
Id rather have a Jeep Wrangler JK
+kole726 So, go buy one.
Curtis Heidel I already own one.

Looks like when landrover was with ford. Yuck
Not got a clue about Land Rover have you lmfao
i wish he'd yap less and drive more
So many SUVs of modern vintage look hideous. Like squished up station wagons. Not this.
what a complainer whine whine
ugly for a 60k suv
Ben Tj Ugly? This is by far the most beautiful vehicle on the road
Gaming 4 Ohio "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I am an evoque fan.
I am a Land Rover enthusiast and all Land Rover models are beautiful and if you think a Evoque is better looking than a Discovery then lol
+Ben Tj You probably don't have to worry about it
