Is it fair to mock freelanders
hrox:
i dont mock them as everyone is entitled to there own motor with out being looked upon as :shock: some people perfer a freelander as its more suitable to there needs that a disco, A friend of mine has just gone to scotland in his almost brand new 3 dr freelander with the van on the back yet has a fully modded dosco with all the trimmings sat at home.
if thats what he wants then be happy for him and try and help if he needs it. is that not what we are all here for?

freeloader, oops sorry freelander, cracking car for going to the shops, taking the dog out in, going golfing in etc. Offroad? chocolate teapot comes to mind but it all depends on what you want one for, I can live with Landrovers poor build quality and dodgy reliability in a vehicle thats a brilliant off roader but the freelander to me has never really made sense, my mate used to work for Land Rover assistance and he hates them especially the 1.8 k series engined ones, clutch hydraulics are especially poor.
Like I said, before I get a load of abuse thrown my way from Freelander owners thrown my way, it all depends what you want and need from a vehicle. :wink:

remember the old saying
its not what you have its what you do with it that matters!
Discohugh:
We have a Disco(mine) and a Freelander Td4(hers), the freelander is superb very refined around town ,great on long journeys and on tracks,fields and mild green lanes is very good. It was never marketed as being as capable as a disco or defender. I really like it and it is better than most people think, drive one then comment dont just form a hear say opinion.
Boggert:
Its unfair to compare a freelander and a disco, tow totally different vehicles built for different things. I was impressed with Schuee's has no problems in some of the muddy lanes.
I see no reason to mock anyone for what they drive.. Its not what you drive its the way you drive it that counts!
