Should I be put off a model that has very mixed reviews for reliability?

Looking at your review, I noticed a lot of engine problems listed under "What to watch out for" on the Land Rover Discovery 4. It's putting me off buying one with all the big issues listed. Is that me being dramatic or do all vehicles have similar issues? In other words, after reading what is written, would people still say they are a great vehicle?

I'm a big fan of the Land Rover Discovery 4. They are great vehicles but there is no hiding from the fact that this model has a mixed reputation for reliability. General maintenance is expensive, too. A cam belt change will easily set you back £500+.
