Did you get a good deal and why?

It was a fare price, i researched for a long time and when i was ready to buy one it took time to get the right model at the right mileage and price. I found a fair bit of demand so not too much play in regards of negotiation.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted a 4x4 for safer family driving. A premium badge without the show.

What was the dealer like?

Large Land rover dealer in Huddersfield. Great service and really nice buying experience.

What's it like to drive?

Its a jeep not an suv. So comfort is sacrificed in terms of off road capability. Driving experience is a joy if you are looking for a high driving position and a bit of power. It is slow off the mark but when moving it performs well. Not a racing car but the car suffers no identity crisis.

What's it like to park?

It's easier than my wifes prius. Decent mirrors, lots of visibility and rear parking sensors. My parking has deteriorated with age and the Freelander is not a difficult vehicle to park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Passenger seat electrics were a bit wobbly. Rail was greased and all fixed.

What's most practical about your car?

Space, solid build and general consumption.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cruise control - saves points. Steering controls for convenience. (sat nav is junk).
