I agree with you Shilen, I said recently that the FL2 isn't desirable anymore, there are far better specced cars out there, the FL2 has had it's day and no amount of tinkering will allow it to keep up.

And the FL2 isn't dated?!? How the for n'aft you can make a statement like that is anyone's guess.....even with a MY2013, it needs further revision..the FL2 is nearly 8 years old in design!

Really? Not desirable anymore? I see many more new Freelander 2s than Q5s and other called "softroaders".

And? The Q5 has bearly changed since its release in 2008! As I have said before, Audis are good cars but completely soulless, and that's why I would never buy one again. SWMBO is in the process of selling her A3, and we will be going elsewhere for a new car. |

The Freelander has lived in the shadow of the Evoque for too long, it's been neglected while Land Rover boosted the Range Rover image. Land Rover forgot its core customers the Freelander was the best selling model but too much emphasis has been put on the the premium side of the brand, 3 new RRs in 2 years. Come on LR what about the rest of us. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200 |

Been trying to sell it for a while, but only just put it up on autotrader the other day. |

Had a Mk 1 Kuga for nearly 4 years - first grown-up Ford I owned (Had a Focus RS [best car ever] and a Puma prior to that) - Must admit, the amount of kit I had ticked, it was better equipped than my current fully-loaded MY2013 FL2. I so miss the keyless entry and a decent sat nav.

You miss the point (again). Whilst the Q5 is an inferior car mechanically (IMHO) against an FL2, it is by no means as dated as the 8yr old FL2 aesthetically. I detest Audi's, and more importantly, the people that drive them, but objectively, you cannot say that the Q5 looks dated against the FL2; basic design and release dates would contradict you if you did!

I looked at all the 4x4 compacts and couldn't find a Q5 to compete with price on the FL2. Also hard to find full spec cars, same with VW Tiguan, always something missing. Some alternatives had no spare wheel, Kuga has lousy back seats that don't fold flat X3 has God-awful run-flats and no room for even a space-saver, Honda, Nissan, Toyota all no rear headroom, cameras to make up for tiny windows. I'm buying a 2011 HSE, and the lack of a decent ipod interface is a bummer, but there are a couple of after-market solutions. |

IMO the Q5 does look dated! as like with all Audis, they are extremely dull. If the Freelander is so dated and not nearly as good as rivals, then why did you buy one? Last edited by chrisr1806 on 14th Sep 2013 5:40 pm. Edited 1 time in total |

Firstly, no need to yawn when you are challenged. You seemingly challenge every damn thread on here, and collectively we all take it in our stride, so have the courtesy to respond politely when it doesn't quite fall your way!
