What's super weird is I've experienced the LR touchscreen and it's not even close to being as useful and intuitive as the Sync 3. I noticed the way he was pointing at the screen. Mine won't do anything either as it seems to think I'm not making a deliberate choice. But after the Explorer Sync 2 and now Sync 3 I don't even notice it not responding. Do the others work with tech like Apple Carplay or Android Auto? Not sure, the comparo didn't express stuff like that. Rewatch the part where the digital systems are compared and it's not clear what in the world is going on as he quickly dismissed it without actually reviewing. Weird!
The Edge is larger in rear storage and overall seating space. I have been in the LR Disco Sport, it's kinda small for trips (Edge barely does for my full family) but I have no real idea of the F-Pace since I still haven't seen one where I live or rented on business trips.
Strange too, here in the states, the Brit cars are way more expensive. Do you find these things in base trim in the UK cause that's like a unicorn (or maybe a Porsche. For that money, I could get the Edge Sport which is a far better value. Ford is also about to get rid of that 6 speed which makes the engine seem weak. It's only a poor performer due to the gearing. I believe 9-speed is coming this year to give it some wings.
Something that seemed out of place was the front wheels spinning on the Edge and no rears turning. I looked again and it's just a FWD model in this video (any number of conditions such as tires are the culprit. I live in the world of snow and ice during Winter months and wouldn't buy an SUV or truck without AWD/4WD locking capability. I've not seen Fords perform worse than LR's when given generally equal powertrains. The reason I even got the Ford is that I had a very good experience with their reliability of the past two I've had in the last 6 years.
Really, it's a bit small but I think the E-Pace is the cool car to have if it's just for me.

Mat, the Disco Sport is just terrible. The 9HP transmission is the worst I've ever experienced, slow to downshift, clunky up and downshifts. especially going into 4th, and the 2. 0L engines aren't punchy enough to propel over 2 tons. Plus it can't do much off road as it's very limited with clearance and lacks a locking rear differential. It's a shame it doesn't have an air suspension option and two speed transfer case available. The interior is low rent even in highest trims. My money in this comparison would go to the F Pace, but I'd want to wait until the new 3. 0L Inline-6 petrol is available or hopefully they'll offer an inline-6 diesel too.

We work at craft markets and the Jaguar isn't as capacious or practical in the back as the Ford or the Land Rover. The Ford wins there as its a true flat floor and much longer - the same size as the Mondeo estate. Audi Q5 and BMW X3 are really poor in this department.
Try an Ikea flat pack furniture test in future videos? Or a how many labradors can you happily fit in the boot?

I'm thinking about getting a second-hand Discovery Sport (as recent as possible - probably 2016 or 2017. Everything about it seems pretty excellent. but I'm put off by question marks over reliability. Should I be? Is second-hand asking for trouble, or would a 3 year-old car have had the teething problems sorted out, but not yet be getting old enough for the problems of old age?

What engine was in this specific Ford edge was it the 2. 0 eco, 2. 7 eco or the 3. 5 I would hope at least the 2. 7 or 3. 5. I really do believe that Ford edge sport should of been in here especially price point wise. It would be as much or less the the other 2 vehicles and give the a run for their money as well.

No pun intended but a Ford doesn't belong in with those 2. It would be better to take the new Audi Q5 in at least for comparison but a Ford? Hell no. I believe the Ford belongs with the other SUV's there in the middle class, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, VW Tiguan etcetera.

I never thought of buying a jag till I saw the F-Pace and I drove it, what a beast, it is out of this world, and I tried the Macan it is like sitting in a box and the Mercedes GLE 43 AMG is not enjoyable to drive as the F-Pace, it is a stunning car from many points of views!

For Off road it has to be Land Rover but at the expense of parking on larger models. For non off road there is more competition. Price then Practicality then how it feels. but if you consider Volvos they can be a car for life. dependability and reliability

Interestingly the Discovery Sport's platform is an evolution of the Ford Mondeo platform, and the Edge is based on the Mondeo as well. The USDM Edge has a Sport model that gets a 2. 7L EcoBoost turbocharged V6. That's a pretty quick ute.

I would take the Edge over any of these two British SUVs. There are way too many Land Rover Discovery Sports in Europe, and the F-Pace is all about style. The Edge is unique and cool (in europe. But it's British rivals aren't.
