Land Rover Freelander (2006 - 2014) 2.2 TD4 XS (2010) 5d Owner Review

It is more of an off road vehicle than most SUV type but is rugged, practical and comfortable. Rolls more than some due to the higher centre of gravity but is capable in all situations. Flat boot floor when the seats are dropped is a good feature but due to the rear diff and full size spare tyre the boot space is limited. It is good to have a full size spare on the same type of wheel as the rest of the car. Tyre wear is very even, and the first set of OEM tyres lasted 40,000 miles so cheap on that count. The there are enough toys to be useful eg heated seats and backrests, cruise control and off road aids to justify its keep without going silly. There are very few cars which are similar these days and changing it will be difficult in the future. It is ideal for us with the dogs and living in a remote hilly part of the country to not feel isolated.
