For 2003, Land Rover has addressed two of the Discovery's weakest points: brakes and power. A larger engine boosts horsepower by 15 percent and torque by 20 percent. Revised brakes improve pedal feel and stopping distances. There have been some 350 other improvements, as well. In spite of a small increase in price, the 2003 Land Rover Discovery offers more value than it did in 2002. What remains is its amazing off-road capability, its luxurious and very British interior, and its distinctive styling. Many people like the Discovery for its panache. We like the Land Rover Discovery because it is authentic. While most sport-utility vehicles are nothing more than tall station wagons with a high seating position, the Land Rover Discovery is the real thing.
