OK, so went over Eastnor LR Experience Centre (near Malvern) this morning to experience the new FL2 on and off road - firstly have to say its a fantastic venue with great facilities - top marks to LR - I was very impressed to say the least.

Drove a TD4 HSE Manual and really like it - here's just a quick summary of my thoughts;
- Ride was smooth and gearbox/engine combo spot on IMO
- Premium Audio pack was superb (better than the HK system in my RRS imo )
- Seats were very comfortable (same as RRS) although as expected it feels a little more cramped - I found my left leg pushed up against the centre console
- As a road vehicle however it felt just a bit too car like than expected - discussed this with the instructor and we agreed this is probably because I'm coming from a RRS to the FL2 - most people moving up from a car say the opposite.
- Offroad it was superb - it really brought a smile to my face - felt like a big kid. The only real probs I can see with the FL2 offroad is its clearance and lack of low ratio, however tbh that isn't such a big issue (or wasn't today anyway). Otherwise the FL2 performed superbly.

Here are some pics;

the only gremlin for the day was the Bluetooth system - instructor tried to show how it worked, however it just didn't do anything - he couldn't even get into the menu - it has just packed up. Shame really as it sounded a better system than the RRS as it will pair upto 5 phones (unlike one only with the RRS)

I have a vid too - just uploading it to youtube - will post the link once its live

Now just going to spec up my FL2 on the LR website

Cheers

I've decided to go back to do the Full Day Adventure (LEVEL 1 EXPERIENCE) in an FFRR or Disco3 (it seems you cant do the full day experience in a RRS )

I agree Kaaine - Eastnor is a great venue - I was lucky enough to have had a full day in a RRS last year - followed by a half day when I took Mrs MDP along as well for the experience
