Taz, it's the opposite on the Disco forum, their worried it's too small Laughing

That one I believe is the 2.0 240 SD4.

The Skoda looks nice but I'm thinking of ditching the 4x4 altogether, I'm looking at the Jaguar XE S 3.0V6. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

There's a bit of disappointment over there at the moment, as the latest spy shot shows the tailgate open and it ain't split.

New Discovery, maybe it's just me but the front end looks vulnerable in terms of grounding off road. LR are clearly changing their profile but imo losing something in the process. The Skoda Kodiaq looks interesting, and especially with that rear space behind the second row seats is an improvement over the FL2.

Tbh in time can see there will be either nothing from LR on our drive, or perhaps a Defender but not one for everyday use. The other alternative as someone else suggested keep the FL2 for as long as possible, and probably at some point relegate it to occasional duties ref above Defender comment.

England 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Lux Auto Baltic Blue

Just had a test drive in the Tucson, very quiet compared to FL" and loads of kit , but plastics not so good.

Was offered a brand new one for just over 28K ( 185 engine top spec)

Same day tested a new Tiguan SEL but they only had 150 engine available.quality far above Tucson and FL2, without doubt a very well put together car. to get similar spec to FL" LUX and Tucson we started at 38K , reduced to 35K. That is for a factory order , delivery Jan 2017.

Suspect I will go for VW and push for a little more.

trade in offered 19/19.5K against both . Thats for 2013 plate HSE Lux 41k miles

Comments appreciated

Seriously considering this, a previous V70 was the most comfortable car I have ever had.

still really impressed with my Volvo XC60.

not as "blingy" as Landrover, but better build quality, quieter, more comfortable and more economical. (2 litre twin turbo diesel 8 speed auto) Thumbs Up

One would expect other offerings than LR will have more comfortable suspension better interiors etc than the FL2 as the Freely is a 10 year old car with upgrades, the problem with changing is that the others are compromises, there will be something missing that the Freelander has in the case of the V60 a lower tow ball limit and jst like the DS limited boot space at a high level, in the case of the Tucson a weaker suspension poor stability program and again limited boot space at high level. Problem is the LR substitute also has some of the shortcomings. Just a small point does the ABS work in reverse on these alternatives, my SF didn't and it wasn't nice careering and pumping the brakes on a narrow unmade lane with stone walls and parked cars on ice and snow, got away with it just Very Happy my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis
2012 HSE SD4 In Orkney Grey now gone, best car ever.

Don't do it - stick it out.

I swapped to a Ford Kuga 6 months ago. Don't get me wrong it's a lovely car but the proof of the pudding is that I find myself constantly looking over enviously as a Freelander drives by me Mr. Green

I'm impressed with the brothers volvos, but at £51k might be a little rich for me
