First thoughts

1. Its some sort of black / grey - looks like a fox turd on wheels ( in case you are not aware - i HATE black / grey cars )
2. Much quieter in the cabin on start up, and when driving - u would suspect a different engine if not told otherwise
3. Love the 9 speed box, not perfect, but light years in front of the 6 speed box of marbles in the freelanders
4. hate the poor rear view visibility
5. hate the door mirrors, reduced view compared to the FL2
6. drives much more like a car, less wallow, corners better
7. door card is too high - where can I rest my builders arm
8. a few rattles from parcel shelf and windows
9 love the button to activate the rear camera
10 not sure about having the NAV maps on a SD card in the arm rest box
11 where is the dash DVD player gone kids will be pi55ed
12 new car - why no built in dash cameras - sort of makes sense if you think about it.
13 No CD Player - many people who buy these cars will be of a certain age and will have a CD collection
14. Still loving the 9 speed and Updated SATNAV and increased MPG
15. Love the 7 seats, wit the middle row sliding forward to increase load space
16 still undecided on the looks
17 stop start works well and is seemless. well overdue, I dont know why it was not added to AUTO FL2's


Must take an ewoke for a test drive, if it is as refined and as quiet as the DS, and the gearbox performs as well, and it has the same updated SATNAV - it could be a close call on which car buy next.





I like it soo far.

Anyone know how to get the DS nav into off road mode?
breadcrumbs and compass etc? 

Press the NAV button twice, then select ON ROAD or OFF ROAD. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

tried that

no joy.

It seems the off road nav is an option - I managed to download and read the manual
It should appear on the soft button screen as well. 

Interesting, I'll need to try it on mine. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

oh, for me the MPG I achieve is at least 20% better than in my MY13 HSE SD4,so very happy.
Loving the almost total lack of road noise from the tyres. 

after a quick visit to the dealer.
it is confirmed "off road" navigation is an option on the DS Sport
So no compass breadcrumbs etc as standard

Haven't seen any driving around here and it's LR / RR hunting ground!

I saw a white one parked up in Milton near the XXXX brewery. First one I have seen on the road. Wife wasn't happy that I spent so long staring at it whilst I was supposed to be concentrating on the road. I always seem to get into trouble when the DS gets a mention.  1st time FL2 owner. 2007 SE i6 in Tambora Flame.
