I made the fatal mistake of window shopping at the local dealers yesterday. I have been toying with the idea of changing mine for a few weeks-nothing wrong with it I just want a little more comfort. I've considered changing to an estate but after a trip to Available Car and sitting in everything Germany has to offer I've come to the conclusion I have the perfect car for me already. My Freelander is a poverty spec S manual. The one I looked at was an Auto HSE. Is it just me or does the extra leather and sunroof completely transform the normal bland (dare I say cheap) looking interior? Has anybody switched from the manual to auto and offer feedback on the differences in driving experience? |

Personally, I'm not overly impressed with the MY2013 manual, feels very tight and it takes some control to get a smooth change in the first few gears. It may improve over time......

Many thanks for the feedback. You have convinced me (I didn't take much persuading!!). I can't stretch to the 12 month old one I was looking at so phoned my local dealer to try and find me one in my price range. Fingers crossed I won't have to wait too long. |

I could have got a cheaper newer car but went for the HSE but older. Its a good car and I love the sunroof and yes... it does have a few issues ( see my sig ) but when they are sorted its a good motor.
