I. Love. The Discovery...so much, but it pains me because it really is such a badly built vehicle. It's underpowered, it's got dodgy electronics, and over time the sunroof will actually develop leaks. Unless you were to buy one brand new, it's not worth it.

A Jeep Grand Cherokee is a pretty solid choice, but you'll have to skimp out slightly on interior materials and build quality. The MDX is top-notch in those regards, but to me that vehicle is really just a big station wagon. It's not a bad thing by any means, but if you want any sort SUV traits in there, go for the 4Runner. It's the best overall package.
