Buying a Land Rover is almost like joining a country club. More than half of its dealers operate Land Rover Centres staffed with four-wheel-drive experts. These Centres carry special equipment for off-road driving and other active sports, along with Land Rover's own line of clothing, luggage and accessories. Courses in off-roading are taught at the Land Rover Driving School at The Equinox in Manchester, Vermont. Independent schools and clubs add to the Land Rover aura. Few vehicles, including the new Mercedes, can match the off-road capability of the Land Rover Discovery. Land Rover specializes in four-wheel-drive vehicles exclusively and boasts 50 years of off-road experience. The upscale image of the Discovery belies its value and warranty coverage was recently extended to four years. In short, the Discovery offers a proven traditional package, first-rate off-road capability and an upscale, outdoorsy image.
