I drive a 2000 Discovery II and it is one hell of a truck, underline TRUCK, the undercarrage is amazing, all forged and cast pieces, huge bushings, the thing is unstoppable in any weather. BUT, it is as finicky as any porsche and needs lots of attention. with 55 on odo, i've replaced rotors/pads, MAFS, air injection pump, a thing called a rotoflex which is poor example of a U joint and shocks. The ride is truck like but tolerable and yes it gets something like 12MPG..ouch, around here they are very popular mostly i think because they can be had so cheap, the dealer experience has been great, no really!, i was surpised. I will probably replace this one with a newer(used) one in a year or so...my $0.02 I should add that we bought it in 2002 and paid roughly half the list price and its really the wifies car, she loves it, all up in the air and bouncy, women, go figure...
