What are your thoughts on the Freelander Dynamic?

I have my eye on a January 2013 model Dynamic SD4 in silver with Black and Ebony Leather, cold climate pack and bitch glass.

I know I'll lose a few toys from the HSE, but then again I'll gain quite a bit!

Opinions? Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

I much prefer the look of the dynamic over the HSE, Silver ones look very good too, although I would say that.
Much more youthful car and if it has a sunroof then there isn't much you would need to add or couldn't be added.

I was actually holding on for the Freelander 3 2015 BUT I seen the Dynamic on the Land Rover website and it totally tranforms the car! I have now placed an order for an MY14. Thing I like about the Dynamic is the option to have the split choice colour for the leather option  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

I've had a Dynamic for almost a year now, and I've had countless people compliment me on my car, something that never happened when I had a Rimini red XS. The ride on the 19" wheels is a little stiffer, and I'm worried they might affect the cars performance when it snows, but otherwise I love it! Fuji White MY13 SD4 Dynamic

One thing Ive noticed about all the Dynamics Ive seen (new in the showroom) is the front and rear bumper bibs have visible but equal gaps. I would have thought the fit of the body kit could have been a bit better/more flush. How is your bodykit holding up a year on ? MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

No change in the gaps... Just as slightly unsatisfactory as on day one, i never complained, because, as you rightly point out - they all look the same! Fuji White MY13 SD4 Dynamic

I was always getting admiring glances in my first FL2 but that was because it was a Rimini Red with the bodykit fitted. In my eyes it totally transformed the car and made it look amazing. Even a work colleague who had a RRS prefered the look of the FL2 with bodykit over theirs. I dont get the admiring glances in my current FL2 as that has no bodykit (was not available on the MY11 as an accessory)

Two tone seats look great, I always liked the look of them in the XC60 and even Audi are doing it in the Q5. No two tone options on the X3 but have opted for the oyster leather which contrast with the brushed aluminium trim and black dash / carpets beautifully.

Cant wait for the X3 (just under 5 months to go)  Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black

Would have thought it would be a better finish from factory! Makes me wonder if the extra bibs are put on by hand or machine! One thing I would never do is fit a kit afterwards as the gaps would most likely be worse! Can you tell me where the USB port to charge you iphone is as I never noticed when at the dealers ? Glad the kits still fine good choice in the colour  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

The USB port is in the storage area between the front seats.

Not a big fan of body kits on LRs, although the new one is slightly better than the horrid sticky back plastic blue peter effort on the HST. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Sorry I don't like the Dynamic and the approach and departure angles reduce off road capability a bit.

I'd keep yours mate there's nothing wrong with it as far as I'm aware, I wouldn't want to get into debt for a nearly new car and then it will be in the stealers in a few weeks, at least you know your car and you can add a dynamic kit if you really wanted to When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car

Forgot to mention how shocked I was when the dealer told me that my first FL2 had just arrived but I couldnt have it for a week until they had 'stuck' on the bodykit and sawn out the front grille to 'stick in' the mesh one. I would have expected it to have at least been fitted at the factory. One year later the mesh grille had worked loose and I got a chance to see what an awful job they had made of hacksawing the old grille off. Very amatuerish - are the dynamic kits still fitted in the same 'plastic peg and 3M tape' way?? Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black

The front spoiler on the Dynamic is clipped in to the bumper. Lessons learned from the HST kit I think! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Noticed slight gap above front skirt off side and you know what it's like once you notice something. No argument from dealer, going into bodyshop for fixing. That aside I think a Dynamic with black grill and vents against Orkney Grey does look rather good. Had a few nice compliments and I've never had that before! Each to their own though.
