occasional motorway use at 70 mph, its fine.
if you wanna do 300 miles a day on the M6, there are better cars to buy.

but for an all round vehicle that can go just about anywhere, there are few cars to touch the disco tdi.
(maybe the RR & defender).
for the money i dont think theres anything to touch it.

I would be happy to drive my 300tdi on the motorway everyday. I recently did 70miles on the motorway in my defender everyday and it was fine... so the disco would be MUCH better.
