    Discovery Sport doesn't quite cut it

    Land Rover Land Rover Advice Land Rover Discovery Sport Land Rover Discovery Sport Advice Land Rover Discovery Sport 2015

    After reading your glowingly positive reviews on the Land Rover Discovery Sport I waited eagerly to test drive it. But I found flaws that you seemingly overlooked and I suggest you share them with my fellow female readers considering this as their primary family transport. For a premium vehicle the lower dash and door plastics are simply terrible, and my kids will scratch those hard plastics in no time; I am 1.8 metres tall and the multimedia screen was too far away from me, so I had to learn forward to use the touchscreen (dangerous and the deal breaker); there is no blind-spot warning or adaptive cruise control available, according to Land Rover. I think these are major oversights for a brand-new design.

    Buttons on the steering wheel mirror the controls on the touchscreen, so that should not be a giant drama. As for the safety gear, Land Rover spokesman Tim Krieger says: "There have been some restrictions on these features because of global demand but both are available to order."
