looking at buying a freeby

<< < (2/3) > >>

Llanigraham:
3 or 5 door, the space in the "boot" is exactly the same. The difference is you can unfold the seats easier in a 5 door.
Would certainly suggest looking at a Td4.

schuee:
I have a commercial TD4, and have fitted a 2 man folding down seat, I can remove when needed so have a large amount of space when required.As Llanigraham pointed out the boot is exactly the same for a 3 or 5 door, I think I would go for the 5-door purely of the ease of getting in and out, post the pics if you get one mate  :)

carbore:
Id be interested in seeing it and knowing if you can do that conversion on a 5 door.

The seat arrangement is a pain as  I think a lot of space is wasted (about1.5ft) by the folding up up the seats. Newer models get round this by a better folding arrangement.  Once the baby is bigger I may be tempted for this as we use our freeby for a lot of lugging, hence me considering a pickup or disco3 as well (to replace the wifes golf that I have ended up with!)

Llanigraham:
A lot of the 3 doors had rear seating for 2 people only, with a shaped area between them for a cubby box. They also only had 2 rear seat belts. The backrest on these was one piece so couldn't be divided on folding, whereas the later 5 doors have a split rear seat, so that you can fold either 1/3rd or 2/3rd's.

V8MoneyPit:
Our first 3 dr had the cubby box in the middle. Our current one has a 40/60 split and folds right up behind the front seats. I would guess it puts the base at about 10-12 inches from the backs of the front seats. Given the packaging of the Freelander platform, I would say this is about as good a solution as they could have achieved.
