Having driven one for a few days, would not part with my cash for one EVER😳 None currently




Gone
rejected RRS autobi Dynamic MY14.5 (Peter Vardy 👎)
D3 XXV full conversion
4.2 SC FFRR
4.4 FFRR
Freelander 1

I wasn't impressed with the one I had as a courtesy car, albeit it was the SE manual version. No doubt the higher spec ones with the new engine will be better.

Having previously owned FL2s in the past and only sitting in the DS HSE so far I liked it - I especialy liked the 50% saving on price compared to RRS2

Test driving the old engine tomorrow in HSE Auto before parting with deposit on basis the new will be better  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

Good luck with your search I do like the exterior, however the interior could of been much better. Only my opinion though..............

A week ago I was thinking of buying a FL2 while we move house and get sorted so compared to that the interior of the DS is the dogs wotsits  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

Have owned 9 JLR vehicles since 2000 (though admittedly the X-type didn't do it for me) and the Disco Sport still wears a green oval badge on the front last time I looked so that'll do nicely thank you

I'm quite sure that when I receive my free half day off road voucher and take the opportunity to test a DS at a LRE centre I will be just as impressed as I was with all the previous LR vehicles I've tried. Difference is I no longer need to pull a twin axle or carry 3 kids and a Lab with buggies, etc but come winter I will be happily taking the snow and ice in my stride in rural Yorkshire. Do I need a low ratio box for that? Do I need a V6 to go 0-60 in 8.4 seconds when a 2.0 Td4 will do the same

Hats off to LR for the progress they've made over recent years in turning pretty basic agricultural vehicles into luxurious but still capable vehicles that are viewed with envy by most people but knocked by a minority still stuck in the past who remember BL or MG/Rover products

I will leave the willy waving contest now gentleman  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

Nice looking car, thought about one myself but after owning the launch model of the FL2 I didn't fancy been another LR Test Mule, I would wait for the newer engine and for it to be tested fully before committing, but then the SD4 seems to be rocksolid and tried and tested

Though after a trip back today on the A1 and the Bronze car next to me not been different enough to attract my attention i was surprised to find it was a DS when it pulled ahead enough to pull out myself, were as the shape of the FL2 has more presence on the road, is the DS too watered down and made to match the competition?

Yes Nick have to admit worried about being test mule too

Although doing the Gaydon design tour last October and seeing the amount of money and resources being put into testing now by LR I feel a bit more confident

One parting shot for the sniggering members - winter 2010 my £50k+ MY10 RRS factory supplied with summer tyres had to remain parked in my garage following a near disaster on snow -- spent most of that winter driving swmbo £10k 07 FL1 without a single drama on the factory supplied m+s tyres.
