What does this car say about you?

It says that I like to drive a quality vehicle.

Freelander for the dogs and commuting + we need 4 x 4 for the winter.

Independent

No

What price did you pay?

£24,000

February 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes. He was prepared to haggle & was reasonable with some warranty and delivered the car (175miles) for free.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

My wife cannot get in to our preferred car (XKR Jaguar) because of a disability & the RR is the correct height and lowers.

What was the dealer like?

He was a gentleman and appeared to be very honest.

What's it like to drive?

Excellent, and can get 34 mpg on a run which is a bonus.

What's it like to park?

Not bad once you get used to the size + it has parking sensors & a rear facing camera.

Have you had any problems with the car?

You have to be careful when you switch off and leave doors open and have ICE on the go as it drains the battery quickly. As the car has so much kit all using the battery.

What's most practical about your car?

It is so good at everything it does. Being able to change the height of vehicle is a real bonus. You know it can go anywhere either the Ritz or off-road with no problems.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Heated steering wheel. You say it is unnecessary & then find yourself using it all the time. You can programme the car to warm up defrost/de-ice etc with preselected options. The TV is a good extra to play with.
