Freelander 2 alternatives

(1/5) > >>

3laner:
Been looking at getting a freelander 2 but also want to consider the alternatives. I do alot of road miles so need something that drives well. semi decent off road for when I go shooting+on clients farms etc and reasonably economic. budget is 13-14000. so far i've drawn a blank as to anything apart from the freelander that can offer all those things.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Llanigraham:
I'm in the same situation! I have looked at the following:

Kia Sportage, expensive VED rates, poor fuel consumption, but 7 year warranty.
Kia Sorento, too expensive for what it isn't.
VW Tuareg, too expensive, poor boot.
Volvo ??, too expensive, not brill off-road.
Suzuki Vitara, tinny, poor boot, poor towing.

Skoda Yeti, most impressed, reasonable boot, comfy drive, good VED rates for the diesels, fair off-road capability, good price.

I am stuck with a toss up between an ex demo Freelander2 or a new Yeti.

Look at a Toyota Land Cruiser 90 series. Maybe even a 120 series.
