Land Rover Discovery Sport Review
By Tim Barnes-Clay, Motoring Journalist. Follow on Instagram @tbarnesclay Do you care about your image, more quickly than walking or running, but they’re more than that. They’ve become symbols or don’t you give a hoot? of power, wealth, weakness and poverty.
Sometimes it’s nice to kick back and let the world see who you really are, warts and all. The truth is, many of us like to put on a front - and look as good as we can for other human beings. It’s hard to keep that “perfect” look going if you have a partner – especially if you live together. Real love needs to come out at some point, and that means both of you accepting each other in all sorts of states - healthy, ill, grumpy, happy. The real you has to be revealed for a relationship to work – because falseness isn’t ever going to do anyone any favours in the long run. Cars are a way of hiding the real you from the world, though. Yes, they’re essentially just a set of wheels to get us from one place to another
Drive a shiny new Discovery Sport, like the D180 AWD SE I drove, and you’re more likely to be perceived in the “successful” or “welloff” category. Drive, say, a knackered Vauxhall Astra, and you might be seen as less successful and perhaps struggling with money. It can be a shallow old world, but we do tend to make judgements about other people, consciously or sub-consciously pretty quickly. In the car circle, you’re probably doing okay financially if you can afford a Discovery Sport. The model on test here costs from £43,175, but with a bunch of tempting options to add, the price can soon get closer to £50,000.
