Got my 18 Discovery Diesel on lease and its now 3 yrs and done. Its only got 45,200 miles on it and I'm considering buying out lease and keeping a looooong time. I use it for work towing small German Horse Trailers 2000-2800 lbs empty 211-14 lbs tongue weight, hauling my own horses and occasionally a small Airstream so it is doing some work. No problems other than the typical leaky windshield and they replaced based on model's reputation. I keep hearing all the global warming folks saying they are going to somehow outlaw diesel fuel and when I got this one it was after a couple other diesels that ended up recalled permanently Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland and a paid for Jetta Diesel wagon that was awesome. I'm leaning toward keeping this but if anyone has compelling thoughts either direction pls be brutally honest whether keeping it for another 10 years and a couple hundred thousand miles and enjoy the large size yet drivability of it or bail and get a Defender knowing it will be expensive and regular gas. Also if you've had one and hated it because of some inherent problem speak up . Thx for your candid thoughts.
