England. Really good off road. Really, really, really bad reliability (as with most British cars)
2015 Mustang GT Premium - 5.0, 6-speed, Guard Green - too much awesome for one car

Uhhh, 3 really bads.....even more unreliable than the current Explorer 96 ?

Dad wants a Discovery, but if the car is not assembled in the US, Canada or Mexico, we cant import that car. Any other suggestion of a good off road car ?

An old VW "Baja" beetle.
Death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

He's in Mexico. He doesn't have to get an old one ;)
 
I second the Jeep recommendation. I had two Cherokees and was happy with the second one (the first was an '87, 4-cyl, automatic that sucked, the second was an '87, 6-cyl automatic that was good). They're good off road, fairly reliable, and cheap and easy to fix when they break

Rover Defender90 is quite capable.  Used to have one, drove circles around my brothers Jeep (which I liked too).  Hard to find though.
