Is it fair to mock freelanders

We trst drove 2 freebies before J bought the RRC.  They were everything I was warned they would be, slow, noisey and bad handling.  Added to the cost of buying one that hadn't been to the moon and back we just walked away.

How do you guy sput up with the constant droning that comes form no-where at all? I was in one of them for 10 minutes and I'd had enough.

Well, it ain't a roller, but I don't think it's too noisy. We regularly drive from Norfolk to Glasgow and only have one short stop. We find it comfortable and plenty fast enough. It is fair to say the petrol one we had was noisier than the TD4 we have now. We get a bit of tyre roar on the motorway from the BFG tyres, but otherwise its fine.

But otherwise I drive something that sounds like it belongs on a drag strip! So it's all relative!
