Thread: Freelander 2 Opinions

From what I read from England it sells VERY well,,

there is ONE here somewhere,,,,,(sorry)

Had a look at them at the 4WD show on the weekend. I like it, other than the front view takes a bit of getting used to.

But then I'm strange - I always liked the old model Freelanders as well. Very seriously considered buying one of them as a daily driver for the Mrs. Don't think the dollars will stretch to a new one as a second car though - they're a bit on the pricey side.

Make sure it's a TD4 Auto... Otherwise, as many options as you can afford.

I have a TD4 SE and man it rocks.

I haven't taken it offroad all that much yet so no comment there.

However as a daily driver its fantastic, the TD4 has so much torque that it will pull up any hill with bugger all effort, it has good road manners, goes round corners nicely and runs pretty efficiently.

Its also very safe with a heap of airbags and DSC. Comfortable and easy to drive its a great car to drive to work each day.

Get Rimini Red too... Looks bloody awesome!

I second that, I have been in Davo's new FL2, and onroad its beautiful. Offroad, it demolishes any other softroader ive been in. It slaughters my FL1. Everything it does is smooth, easy and controlled. Gives a feeling of cinfidence nomatter what you drive it into, mud, rain or traffic. EASY.

You should see what we've managed to take the FL2 though at work...

Pics?

Yep, I'm quite taken with the new Freelander, and just like Ralph1Malph I am considering one for my wife. Her 2002 Ford Focus is starting to feel a little bit tired, and a TD4 Freelander 2 would be an excellent replacement. Some critics reckon it isn't as good as the BMW X3, but they're obviously missing the point of the Freelander.

djhampson is right about Rimini Red. That's the colour of my D3!
