No Sport button but if you have an automatic, then move the gear selector to the left when in Drive and it will give you Sports mode and also the ability to Command Shift the gears manually. |

Read this for a more detailed explanation, page 17 onwards for the interesting bits.

Thanks for that, interesting. Will have a proper read through later. However, from this it says the same in that the only thing that changes is the gear change mapping which allows it to hold onto gears longer, and downshift more readily. It doesn't appear that there's any changes to throttle response or power delivery. Unless of course I've missed something obvious, which knowing me is quite possible |

Have this on mine and its quite handy, the wife likes a Manual so if she drives the freely (What ain't often if i can help it) she uses the sport mode for the gear shift - she as the same on her range rover evoque but its a flappy paddle on the stearing wheel BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

I've found the steering to be solid and sure footed. It's quite light and there's some feedback but not a great deal.

Have just moved to the Freelander from a performance estate. The steering certainly does feel a lot more vague than I have been used to, but all the 4x4's I tested were similar in that respect - the Freelander was the best of the bunch. I have got used to the slight loss of feedback quite quickly. It was definitely the most 'solid' feeling on the road, and most importantly for me didn't just drive like a car on stilts! As others have said, auto box is great, find it just as good as my previous DSG box and use the manual mode a fair bit. |
