Dont forget the Nissan Pathfinder. You should get one for that kind of money and its very similar to the LR Discovery 3; if lacking the 6cyl engine and sophisticated air suspension. I had one for 3 years and it was fantastic; and I sometimes still miss it. I wanted to swap it for a new Disco3 but the two cars were that similar I swapped it for a new A6 Avant instead.... but I still want a large 4x4
The Pathfinder has a fairly agricultural 4cyl 2.5l TDI engine which develops about 180bhp (similar to a Disco3 tbh) and internally it has 7 seats pretty much identical internal space to the Disco and if you get a decent trim level you get the very good in-dash sat nav and multi-changer - which tbh is still better than the one in my current A6.Also, in comparing the 4007/Kuga/CX7 to the Disco; they are chalk and cheese tbh. The Disco is a proper full size 4x4 with all the space and equipment you'd expect whereas the others are really just mid-size family hatchbacks on stilts. There really is no comparison.
