It IS a comfortable ride. I had a BMW X3 prior to my FL2 and that was a guzzler. My freely is soooo much more economical.

I've had mine for 6 years and while I like the ride, I think the front of the seats are too high off the floor and tend to cut into the back of your leg. My wife picked it up on the test drive. After 6 years the edge of the seat still hasn't worn down, in fact, my butt sinks further into the seat making the effect worse. My only complaint really. |

Totally disagree with you on both those points! I have had my x3 3 weeks and covered 1200 miles and have to say it is as comfortable as the fl2. (Which admitably i wasn't expecting coz the fl2 was always a highly comfortable car) mpg is AVERAGING 46mpg and have even had 50.5mpg on one trip - I have had fl2's for six years and never got anywhere near those figures! Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black Gone - 2014 BMW X3 M Sport Space Grey, faultless! Gone - 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Bali Blue with xenons Gone - 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Rimini Red with bodykit |

The ride, comfort and quiteness were one of my main reasons for choosing the FL2 (main one being its ability as a 'van tug). We have toured around Europe a few times and never arrive feeling stiff or knackered.

Long distance comfort depends on more than just seats and ride. I think the Fr2 is a great car for long distances, but it is still quite a small car. My Disco2 had more comfortable seats and was (until it started to get unreliable) marginally more relaxing over a very long distance. For me the quietness and just general "feel" you get from a big automatic make for a more relaxing long distance drive. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

The Longest drive I have done was 860 miles in 11.5 hrs towing and it was very comfortable.
