Summary
What does this car say about you?
HSE so some luxury, Freelander so economical, but it's basically a landrover so ideal for someone who does use it off road.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Like it - nice driving position, comfortable but not too huge!
Would you buy this car again and why?
No as they are discontinuing it! Also this one has been less reliable than the last one.
What are you likely to buy next?
I may look at the new Discovery Sport or a normal Disco if I can afford it! I want a manual 4x4 and so many don't come in anything other than auto e.g. Touraeg, Grand Cherokee etc.
