1. Can a TV system be installed in a Freelander 2?

2. Can you change the sunroof shade because by the sounds of it, it isn't very effective.

3. Freelander 2 or VW Tiguan? Thanks,
Lewis

What ever fits your needs best. I think though that the FL2 has proven itself as a reliable and capable car. It all depends on what you're looking for.

You obviously don't know about my car I still love Land Rovers

Yes you can install TV equipment, but that's the same with any car. If you want something that will use the navigation screen then you'll need to find an aftermarket module taht will fit into the system (Alpine has said system).

The sunroof tint is privacy glass from the factory and teh shade just adds a bit extra shade, and is good for when the roof is open. I don't feel the need to do anything with it in all honesty....even here where it has been 42-43 over the last week or so.

I think they are two different vehicles.....Do you want a soft-roader as the press (media) loves to call them or a vehicle that geniunely can handle the rough stuff? I find teh LR2 great on and off road with the suspension fantastic for even hard driving on the road and yet comfortable on bad roads and flying down dirt tracks.

I test drove a Tiguan before I bought my FL2.

The VW is very basic inside and doesn't have half the toys the FL2 has.
It also does not feel so high up when you are driving (personally I like this aspect) and also the ground clearance is not amazingly good. The VW also does not have any offroad settings ie hilldescent etc, unless you go for the top of the range model, but I'm not sure if it's switchable like the FL2 is.

The VW is not a bad car but that's what is it really, a car that had 4WD, whereas the FL2 is a serious offroader that drives like a car.


Does that make sense?
No? Goodo.

VW used to built very reliable cars but in the latest years they seem just to have lived on their reputation and nowdays their cars are much more unreliable. Over here the Tiguan has allready been recalled for some works at the acceleraton cable. Nothing serious a 2 hour job. They say "additional protection for accelerator cable"

As I did not like the look of the Tuareg and the Tiguan just looked like a eflated Tuareg I did not even consider one. Maybe if it would have been top of the range and half price - so that I could sell it and buy a top FL2 with all the goodies
Now seriously you might want to check a VW forum .
