Hi my sister has settled on a freelander as her new work truck (going green oval!  :clap: )
She runs a pet sitting business so wants the most economical 4x4 she can get but also one she likes!
so questions:
A diesel freelander is the most efficient right? what mpg can be expected?
Best specs to go for?
Things to look out for? mechanical problems etc, as i don't know much about them_yet!
Any advice and opinions greatly welcomed
Cheers
