Is it fair to mock freelanders

(1/7) > >>

lambert:
A mate has bought a 6 year old one. Are they any use off road or will it curl up and die in the car park?

smo:
They are ok, depends on the use, can be modded too. You'll find a standard freelander is about as good as it gets on wet grass compared to any other standard LR.....but of course we dont all drive on wet grass in standard cars!

Mutz:
yes!!!!!! :lol:

Given their lack of ground clearance it is unfair to mock freebies too much. They won't go where a defender can or would but there again, a standard disco would stuggle to follow a defender.

Whereas a disco or defender on aggressive tyres will go pretty much anywhere, overly aggressive tyres on a freeby will hinder the traction control.

I enjoyed my Td4 and it took me where I wanted to go and didn't embarass me but I needed a bigger vehicle so I got a D2 :)

lambert:
This one is a 5 door and was bought as a dog basket, which immediatly got the 'so why get a 4x4 when you'll never use it off road or for towing?' comments which have yet to yield a sensible answer. Still if we ever get more than another inch of snow at least i won't need to rescue him.
