I am interested too.   Currently I have  a six year old manual Freelander which has been absolutely trouble free all that time, and will look at a manual Disco Sport when I come to change.

Best of luck with that as they only make them with an auto box now unless you want the 2 wheel drive one

You seem to be on the right track when wanting a Manual, as it seems a well known fact that any Land Rover makes a mechanic out of all owners, so i think the manual would also be a first buy (Haynes are good in that area )winksurprised

Have just changed from a manual disco sport to an auto. I find it hard to get used to braking when going downhill as I always changed down a gear to keep the speed down and within the speed limit. Also I keep going for the gearstick when approaching a roundabout, but not as much now. On the plus side when off the motorway and using twisty roads it is a breeze, none of this up and down the box, much more relaxing a drive. So go for it.

Is 2 wheel.drive bad?

My reply was to someone wanting to change from a freelander which I think is a 4 wheel drive so I was just making a comparison. Nothing wrong with 2 wheel drive  if that is what you want.

You may get one that works soon thensurprised, but  to be a real mechanic it needs perseverance cool
