Sounds like LR are really cutting back. As others have mentioned, they have almost ruined the spec of the GS! Yes, you get leather and LED lights, but you lose Auto lights and other nice features. They should have kept the nice half leather seats that were in the XS and put them in the GS, and kept some of the nice features such as auto lights etc. IMO.

How rediculous not putting a light in the glovebox! On an old BMW of mine 10 years ago I had a light and a removable rechargeable pocket torch in there! Bizarre Rolling Eyes Black FL2

England 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Fuji White

The GS is really a v good car and there is a considerable difference in the old and new GS ( I have had both). Its easy to focus on the things that have been taken off but I didn't use half the stuff, however the heated seats and fantastic instrumentation gives it an upmarket luxury feel. I did have the power washers added as an extra but the rest is standard on my MY13. As for the sub woofer... the sound system is impressive and there's plenty of base. I like the stop start and I've got used to the electronic handbrake. I'm over 50 but you really have to move with the times and recognise that Land Rover can't cater for every single customers exact wishes. There's some great discounts to be had ( I got a v big disc of the list) and I wouldn't bother with the black and white specials.. stick with the smart money choice and buy the good old GS!! Very Happy

Just checked and I've got a very bright glove box light... check the switch unit ( sticking up pointy bit that recesses when closed) Freelander2 MY2013 manual GS Fuji white. Fog lights and power washers. Previous car Freel 2 GS 57 plate in Stornaway grey(faultless in 5.5years of driving).
