I have been thinking of getting my wife a Discovery for our 5th anniversay coming up. Any pros or cons ? I dont think they are what i would want in an SUV but to seems to be the one she likes the most. She didnt like the last SUV we had, Navigator, too big, drank gas and there is only 3 of us. Me , my wife and our two year old daughter. We both like the acura but ever since we went looking at SUV's she always brings the discovery up. Are they safe, reliable, does anyone have any experiance or know any good and bad things on them ? Thanks !

A good friend of mine has a Discovery, he is pretty neutral. Say there is good and bad. As stated the gas mileage is bad, high center of gravity and horrible resale. The Cayenne is extremely nice. Or you can look at the cheaper VW Touareg (very close to the Cayenne). And you know you can't go wrong with the Acura or X5. But I know how it is if a women has made up her mind you better start liking the Discovery!!
