Morning/Afternoon/Evening, all!

We ordered a new FL2 some months ago and are getting closer to the mid-June delivery date! We went for the Td4 SE Automatic, Stornoway Grey, black leather upholstery, DVD nav system, PTI phone integration. Does this look like a decent choice?

Been driving the new BMW 320d for 3 years now, but am getting somewhat tired of having to slide into the car every morning on seats which don't even have standard lumbar support. And having had back surgery two years ago, the BMW has proven to be damn uncomfortable on long trips. So when the new FL2 came out, we found a good excuse to trade in the BMW .... we hope! Please tell me we did the right thing

Anyways, this forum has already been a huge help in getting "to know" me new car

All the best from Switzerland!

one fault ' not black' but be aware there is no adjustable lumbar support on a fl2, but i think the upright seating position and 'soft ride' will make things more comfortable for you.

Almost went for black but took one hard look at my BMW (Sparkling Graphite - very dark grey) one day after washing it, and decided otherwise

I thought there was a manually adjustable lumbar support on the leather seats. Could be totally wrong of course. Agree that the upright position will help. Already made a huge difference during the various test drives.

As for 4x4 in Switzerland, where I live it' Landrover City! So it was just an issue of being a good citizen and blending in with the neighbourhood ....

In fact, the description of the SL2 ES on the Landrover site says so ... manual lumbar support. Can somebody clarify tyhis perhaps?

Cheers,
Marcus

There is one on mine. Only for the driver But both front seats on HSE FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

As long as my wife doesn't discover the passenger seat doesn't have one, we'll be just fine ...

Welcome on board Marcus

Nice choice in car, i think you will find it meets your comfort requirements

There is a lumbar support in your model, as there is in my SE too Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Thanks, npinks! And am happy to hear about the lumbar support!

I guess only Santorini Black models do not have that extra touch of comfort and luxury ..

Ah ha you guys may have lumbar support but I have a healthy spine  At work
