Well it's that time of year again and just dropped the rrsport off for its annual tlc and was given the keys to a shiny new albeit basic manual FL2 - was hoping for new Disco, rrsport or ffrr so my heart sank a little

However I was surprised how quiet and smooth it is but to top it all the 47 mpg on the display has blown me away so thank you dealer - I'm thinking that kind of economy and saving between price of new rrsport and FL2 I may have to give some serious thought to my next vehicle

Just think what I could do with the money saved  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Why were you surprised Muddy?  Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more...

Gone but not forgotten:
2014 RRS2 SDV6 HSE in Loire Blue
2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE in Santorini Black

I have owned 2 - a 57 and an 09 that I thought were fantastic until I got the black edition a year ago and was loaned a FL2 that sounded like a tractor and shattered my illusions but the one today is incredibly refined for a basic  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

I'd be surprised if it was any good too lol.

The last one I had was a bag of shoite. Shocking ride compared to the Sport and the engine rattled like a bag of spanners. Couldn't wait to hand it back.

Sure it wasn't a Full Fat they gave you ?  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage

Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

No it's a basic e

The one I had a year ago was like you described Brad which is why I'm so shocked at this one. I must say that the jump from MY10 to MY13 rrsport was dramatic and the FL2 is the same it appears. This bodes well for the disco sport  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

I probably would want some more toys but come on - FL2 starting at £27765 compared to RRS starting at £61250 makes you think

4WD - check

5 seats - check

Nice ride - check

Reduced need to tow caravan now due to storage relocation - check

Reduced cost to change bringing early retirement a step close........  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

I'm waiting on the Discovery Sport and to see what that looks like

But more and more i think a BMW 5 Series/Audi A4 would tick all my boxes and get more than 24mpg a year,

(if they can tow my 1800kg caravan that is)

BMW Audi

I'm sure one of us can give you a lift when it snows or is frosty

I've just priced up a top of the range Metropolis with a few things like tow bar and roof rails against the basic RRS2 HSE (without Dynamic) but same bits added and I could do a lot with £25k or more (considering discounts) in the bank  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

If I hadn't driven the RRS, I'd have considered the FL2 to be a nice drive. It's just lacking boot space and tow capacity (horse trailer is 2.5 tonnes mgw).

If the Disco Sport covers those areas then it will be on the list if/when I replace the RRS. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Having a FL2 tomorrow for 4 days whilst the Sport goes back to Bedford for a little cosmetic job - was told Evoque - ended up with Freelander - never mind - I've still got my Supercharged to play with

If I'm honest I'm looking forward to it  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

14MY Autobiography Dynamic - SDV6 - Fuji White

12MY Autobiography - SDV6 - Orkney Grey - awesome ;(
2005 Java Black - 4.2 V8 Supercharged First Edition- will never be forgotten ;(

Agree on the boot (but I have a roof box if I need it) and the towing capacity for a 2.5T horse box

Nick pulls a big caravan like mine no problem and now I have IDC I think it may be ok plus we are storing in the area we visit so not much towing now

Having owned FL2's between 2007 and 2010 then driving a few loaners I couldn't see myself going back but the latest incarnation of FL2 has got me thinking - the Disco Sport may well be on my shortlist  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Just taken my RRS to be serviced and was given a RR Evoque courtesy car. This is the 2014 2WD eco model, and for pottering around town etc so far it's great. Looks just like the 4WD model, except for one exhaust only. OK its a bit short on toys but it still comes well equipped and I find it quite comfortable. Quite happy with it. 2015 Range Rover Sport Autobiography Dynamic SDV6
