Freelader 2 any alternatives worth a look

Yes maybe I need to do the rounds again, I did 2 years ago and got the freelander on brand, pose (its a very nice black one) and rear load area. Its funny they all have thier quirks so its hard to justify any decision other than preference. Engine choice is the main thing, I like TD autos.

Allegedlky the new Freebe has 33% more rear load space, just not as high but wider and longer, well see I may take a picky next to mine when I get one for a few hours

The Mitsubishi outlander is looking good on paper, but need to go and drive one.

Still im trying to persuade her on a Disco, she even said why not by  the freelander for her and me get the disco and PX out Golf,Honda and Freelander but I think that would bankrupt me!

The place i instruct at had FIFTH GEAR and Tom Ford round the other week in the new FORD KOUGAR....we have some gentle stuff , so people get used to the feel of the motors, so, they used that part for filming.........the Ford went back on a low loader, with half its under carriage been ripped off........on screen the 18 August

Have had a few Freelander 2's as courtesy cars, nice motor though would definetly go for the Disco3 lot more room, and more capable off-road, think the F2 is overpriced against the D3

carbore:
The F2 is still out in front as far as the wife is concerned, but agree that the Disco is better value for money (filling it up is not however)

As she only wants something that wont fall to bits down out lane then a "soft roader" is ok, we may get an F2 and then replace my F1 with a Disco when we/if we have more kids or when we need to toll around with friends/family etc.  However if we stick the pram in the Freelander and there si no room for shopping then it may be Disco time early. A forrester would be ideal, its just she cant stand the looks.

I have currently got a FL2 HSE Auto as a loaner while they sort my Defender out, it is very nice indeed. Took it up a couple of gentle lanes and it coped amazingly well, all the gizmos really do help when you have no low box. The Terrain response combined with HDC and the Auto make it a really capable off-roader. MPG isn't that great though, averaging 27.8 at the mo with a mix of driving. Not much better than a D3.

Had to laugh at one point when half way up a very easy lane I came across white-van-man in a Nissan panel van stuck on a ridge, was going to help him when I spotted the fly-tipped pile of builders rubble nearby  :evil: Needless to say I left him there and made a discreet call to the local plods.
