After about 18 years in BMWs (mostly 3 Series) I am interested in a new Discovery 3. My kids are getting bigger, we want to get out camping more and I could do with the 4-wheel drive in bad weather due to where we live (not awful but the rear wheel drive 3s just won't make it up the incline in snow which we get more often than the majority). I am thinking of an automatic but have reservations due to the stories I have heard and read not only about the Disco build quality, but the problems with the auto gearbox. Have these issues been sorted out yet?
