The technician probably told the salesman to sell it on as quickly as possible - ideally to someone who knows little about Fl2s.

All Freelanders (mk 1 or 2 ) handle better than a Discovery ! ( I've had 3 Discos; 200, 300 and TD5 and 6 Freelanders). Jules

Today I tested another FL2 and it drove as expected with none of the feeling that the body roll was uncontrolled.
I was right to question the on road behaviour of this particular car and leave it in the dealer's forecourt.

Thanks for all the replies and while the FL2 is a very worthy car, I've decided not to buy one, even one that handles properly.

I will try another FL2 as soon as I can find a suitable one a bit closer to home.

Yesterday's test drive was at the end of a 350 mile trip in the D1; followed by another 350 miles back to home.
I will not be doing that again!

Ouch, that must have been annoying!

Good luck in your search
