After a long association with Subaru Foresters I have been and purchased a 2014 Freelander 2 XS in Firenze red and so far very pleased with it. It was a main dealer courtesy car with 5K miles. Took a big hit on my diesel Forester XC but I was getting fed up with the poor aftersales service from Subaru UK and the local dealer.

Welcome to the forum and to Freelander ownership, it will be interesting to get your thoughts on the car compared to your last one, great colour of too

Service I get at my local main dealer has been great..... * GONE. GS TD4 Manual MY2013. Orkney Grey with privacy, cold and clearview packs, armrests (a must!) and a spoiler.
* 2011 4.4 TDV8 Full Fat. Amazing piece of kit.
* GONE.2012 RR Sport HSE SDV6 Orkney Grey. Rocket ship. 33mpg.
* Range Rover Classic '93 200Tdi Factory fit
* 1949 80" in family since 1975

Welcome ,all the best FL2's are Firenze  Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

Hi John, hopefully you'll have a better experience with your new motor mate

Hi welcome to the forum
The fl2 is a lovely car

Welcome

Out of interest what Subaru dealer was it? I also own an Impreza so I've had a few run ins with dealers about it. Out of most in the Central Belt AF Nobles just south of Edinburgh seem to be the only ones with half a clue

First two Foresters came from Town & County, third and fourth from John R Weir. The current dealer in Perth is Auto services Perth. Subaru UK not a great deal of help either. The last one, a diesel Forester XC came with an after care package ETCo, everything taken care of. Tried to claim for a minor bodywork scratch but was never called back. I liked the cars, it was just the aftersales that was rubbish.

that's a shame

Most manufacturers are heading that way now. I complained to Subaru UK about issues with my tracker and the local dealers lack of assistance. Although the reply was very polite they basically told me that it wasn't their problem

Volvo have been exactly the same with the C30 we bought brand new 2 years ago... which is why it now looks like a Freelander 2

Town & County Subaru were really good! We purchased 4 brand new Sti's from them over the years

Lawrence of Kemnay (Ford main dealer) who now have the dealership are absolute clowns! Total asshole sales with customer service! We bought a brand new 2011 Sti from them and never took it back!

All our Pro R remapping has been done by Ian Grieve Subaru (Falkirk) as they are a main dealer the cars warranty has not been affected! Excellent dealer worth the travel  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

I have a Disco sport on loan today whilst my Freelander is serviced. Cannot wait to take it back and get my Freelander. Tiny back window, tiny mirrors, I do not like it at all. Two tiny seats in the boot for kids which mean you cannot have a spare wheel, just the puncture kit. Perhaps when the new engine comes along those that want high MPG will like it. I'll stick with the Freelander all the time it is reliable as I do not do many miles (4,000) per year the MPG isn't important.
