Frontera 2.0l Sport V's Freelander Td4

<< < (2/9) > >>

Drift:
When you look at the age of the cars it would be hard to compare.

Having owned a Frontera Sport 20L I was surprised at how nippy it was for a small engine in a heavy car, but I reckon it would struggle a bit as a tow car, and be a bit thirsty.

Not having owned the Freelander I couldnt comment but if is a deisil I should imaging it would be the better of the two.

Now as commented, you wouldnt beat a good 2.8tdi though your car would be a bit older.

I wouldnt knock any car Ive never owned or put to the test even then you have good and bad ones.  ;)

Aha, but i did have a Frontera once, and i never would again!!  I didnt like it one bit!!!

EvilEd:
You may want to consider a SWB Pajero too. Comfort, bullet proof (2.8TD or 3.5 Petrol unless you can afford the newer shape) and very capable offroad too if that's your thing. Don't rate the 2.5 myself much.

If I had to choose between the above, then the Fronty would have it. Seen far too many freebies go wrong to ever recommend one. Even ex LR mechanics advise people not to buy them! (Especially the 1.8 petrol one) Don't know much about the TD4 though.

It has a viscous unit instead of the diff lock, much like the later Range Rover Classics (and I think early P38?).
