Sorry, but all this talk about a 」100k RR or a 」50k plus Disco is just bravado. We drive the car that we can afford to and it happens to be a FL2 starting from 」22.5k. Rolling Eyes nothing wrong with that at all, be happy with your lot.

PR has narrowed it down to two, Freelander 2 or back into a Disco, he has Land Rover in his veins, he's not going anywhere else. If he goes with his head it will be a Freelander, but if its with his heart...........

I went with the Disco because I can, simple, just the two of us, the rear seats are rarely used, it tows like nothing I've ever owned, including a TD5, the only vehicle I've ever owned where I can honestly say that when I unhook the van it still goes the same, if anyone else who has a Santa Fe or similar says it tows like there's nothing there is talking out of what their sat on.

I have it to tow the van, but their again, I can't afford to have a Disco and a Freelander on the drive and only a garden trailer to tow Wink p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

No one has said there is anything wrong with the Fl2, hence we are all on this forum. A member as asked our opinion and we have given it. Many members on here share a desire to own a RRS, some are in a position to purchase, I for one can't.

Ideally I would like to keep my Fl2 for 5yrs and buy an early L405 Range Rover, nothing to do with bravado or showing of how much I earn, it's my dream motor. At the moment it's never going to happen but that's life 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

I was looking at a used RRS, then again a brand new RRS is only 」70 per month more than I am paying now and we currently dont reclaim VAT becuase it is a personal lease, this offer for the RRS would be less then we are currently paying, quite affordable and I as now own half the company I can drive what the heck I want.
Until Legomans comments I hadn't even considered a new one but at these prices it may well be an option Whistle

I can afford to buy a disco, but I ain't going to. Yes I miss my old D3 but it doesn't suit my lifestyle, the Fl2 has all the space I need. But when I am in a position to purchase my dream Range Rover, I will do so and I will be on here to share it with others who have a similar interest in the LR brand. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Shocked You have only had your Freelander 3 months! Shocked I would wait until the new Disco and FL3 are released.

Don't worry chris, the blue beastie ain't going anywhere just yet it will be staying until 2015 at least, I want to have a good look at the Freelanders replacement and the next Disco before I change. Thumbs Up

Ideally I would go for a Range Rover, maybe 3 years old but my trusty Fl2 is keeping me entertained for the time being. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Good to hear. Thumbs Up

I'm beginning to get itchy feet too, when I get back from holiday, I am going to pop down to the stealers and have a nose at the new RRS. Wink

Will likely be another FL2 next year, which I will keep until the FL3 is released. Very Happy

I have loved reading all your comments! Yes I have the Green Oval in my veins! The grand children have a Toylander to play with! I have a Disco one as my vehicle of choice. Off roding etc. brings a smile to my face each time i drive it! 15 years old and still my baby! We drive a F2 as our economical vehicle! Just need to move on! In my heart it will be a Disco 4, but economics say a Freelander!

Will keep you posted! 1998 300TDi Auto Disco, never to be forgotten.
