The reason why the discovery was "slow" in the acceleration test is because when Ford made that engine, it glitches out and lags out when it shifts gears. It also has an influence on the turbo to. There is a lot of turbo lag.
Thought it was funny how it seemed like you almost said "it's going to be f... (pause) awesome". I can tell you really love to do this and the quality shows. It would be cool to see this car in your usual reviewswhere you show the space and leg room in the back etc. Big factor for me in buying a car is comfort for all passengers.
@Em M I thought aspiring Land Rover owners were too self absorbed in their own awesomeness, to worry about something as inconsequential as the comfort of people riding in the second row.....lol Just kidding :^}
How do you like the rotary shifter? I know that ram uses them as well and they don't seem to be the best option for 4 wheel drive vehicles due to design factors.
Dave - Thanks for the timely on-the-move review of the Discovery Sport ! This model is on my short list for an upcoming SUV purchase, and you filled in several low spots in my knowledge base here. Keep up the great work from the Northwest - you're in my preferred reviewers go-to file :-) :-)
Range Rover looks and close in capability for a lot less. Too bad on the 4 cylinder and 9 speed transmission. Too focused on economy. It seems as though we are shooting ourselves in the foot. Just when we are figuring out how to make fantastic drivetrains, suspensions, brakes, and platforms that can handle high speeds and high horsepower we dull things down. Now everything has start stop, number of gears normally once reserved for semi trucks, and ecu programming that slows everything down.

Em M I sure hope Land Rover loans to us in the near future!

Was it on D or S during the acceleration test? Any news as to whether they fixed it on the 2017? Thank you.
I don't remember. Sorry.
Everyman Driver No worries. The 2018 is coming out with a new engine which is supposed to solve the lag problem.
Nothing says luxury like a Ford sourced engine
Could you do a review of the Buick Gl8 minivan pleaseeee
What background music do you use?
SilverWolf25 It's just royalty free music built into the program he uses to edit.
