Thread: What are the reasons you bought your Disco

price did it for me for the money there was no comparison against a nissan or toyata the disco had every thing i wanted power windows, aircon,v8 on gas, no mods and it was well looked after

I have had 2 old rangies and with a 3yo and another on the way i needed a comfortable car that wifey would like driving, economy was a factor for the tdi but it came down to the right car at the right time with great service history. If a tdi fender with similar service history came up at the same time i still would have got the disco as it was what we needed at the time.

Me and my partner bought a Disco as we needed a single car that would be good around Melbourne, is comfortable, modern but more importantly something that could really handle itself off road and as a tourer.

Would I get something else now that I have owned it for 3 years? Depend on what day you ask me! Lately it has cost a fair bit, but I love the driving position in the car, its ability in the rough stuff and the Td5 is a ripper little engine when chipped. And the way I figure the breakages all make the car more tougher and reliable.

And I love debunking the Disco stereotype too! Mine is certainly not a Toorak tractor...she gets a hard life!

Yes! if you get a good one you get a good one.
I did a 16000Km trip last year with only a couple of minor problems.I like the driving position and the great overbonnet view which lets you position the car well in most situations.
The vehicle not only looks solid but will take a few knocks as well.
Like all cars they have their problems...electrics,radiator, funny quirky things etc. but I feel safe in it.That`s important to me.
Service and parts sometimes pricey but nothing compared to my Son`s Alfa.
It`s all relative.
If anyone asked me would I get another Disco; For sure!

Off road ability, power, comfort, price.

I just love them (this is my 3rd) but I really miss my stage 1 V8


Once I finish the disco though it will be better than the Stage 1

I have kept my classic Rangie because I couldn't see the value in a Disco.

That doesnt quite fit in with the thread ? Depends what year RRC , i have an 81 2dr and had an 85 4dr, to me a newer rrc was of no value- just another old rangie that needed a lot spent on it.
