    I am in between, I don't maintain my vehicles as much as Scouse but dependent on my work location and shift I ride my MTB and train it to work, getting exercise and fun money at the same time. My wifes horses have higher running costs per kilometre and would produce more greenhouse gasses than my County in an average week.


    Taking into consideration that poly-carbonates don't naturally grow on trees and the amount used in most new "greener" cars is horrendous. I cannot see how a classic car can not be more environmentally friendly.

    Not getting the TD4e as I have always driven manuals. In my middle age it is time to kick back and take it easy. Must admit to being at a bit of a loss though. During test drive my left hand around was waving around as if possessed.

    You make a good point about commodores. If we got started we could probably clear the roads.

    If you're planning on using a Freelander offroad much you're probably better off with an auto anyways, as it makes up for the lack of a low range gearbox somewhat.

    Just to jump on the gas guzzling 4WD bandwagon, the diesel versions of Freelander2, Grand Vitara and X-trail all offer brilliant economy.

    I just drove a 2YO Nissan Tiida (aweful thing on the hwy) Ararat - Melbourne -Ararat, and averaged 7.8L/100km (Auto, but still disappointing) then returned in my '99 diesel FL1, got stuck in traffic in Melb but still got 7L/100km.

    So a new TD4 FL2 is going to be much more economical and smaller than a VE Commodore, or even a 4cyl Camry.

    A particulate filter is not avaialble in Australia, even as an option.
    According to this website, a 2011 Freelander II in Australia comes with a DPF:

    Southern Land Rover Freelander 2 2011

    So one would think that a 2010 FL II in Australia would be similarly equipped.
