Might have said it already on this 39 page thread [can't be @rsed to check],
but there's no other vehicle I'd rather be in than a LR.

Not keen at all on them at all, but I'd rather be in a New Discovery or Discovery Sport than any other comparable model from other manufacturers.


Still keeping faith with the brand [even though LR don't deserve it]!  FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

I’d be happy to keep mine till the rust gets it!

Nothing appeals to me from the current range! MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

You can get nearly 3K off a disco sport now. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current

I had the lend of an Evoque HSE 6 months old for a few days while my FL2 was getting a little paint done. Beautifully finished and great driving car with a very smooth engine. However every time I got into I cracked my head on the door frame. I found it a little claustrophobic with the huge full length centre console and there’s not a great view out the rear screen. Don’t think I could be persuaded even if I could afford it. Was glad to get back into my FL2.

I think there's a lot of us on here echo that sentiment  Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

So is there a new Disco Sport 2 coming then? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

New floorplan allowing Plug In Hybrid. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 77k+ miles) (MY2015)
Metro in its 11th Year of (Extended) LR Warranty / Full LR Service History
(Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?)

The new Subaru Forester coming in 2019 seems to be very much improved?

It's already on sale in America with the 2.5l engine. In the UK we'll get the 2.0l petrol engine followed later in the year by a hybrid. No more diesels:

My daughter has just bought an ex demo 18 plate X3 m 2 l diesel. I must say it's a lot of car for just over £30k (£40 plus new). Havn't driven it but might be tempted when the time comes. It really makes my motor old fashioned. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

Quite agree... Subaru dealers tend to be small, family-owned and locally-focussed outfits. And they sell great cars.
I wouldn’t part with my 2015MY SD4 Metro unless there was a gun to my head, but a very close second would be a Subaru.
Can’t abide the new jelly-mould JLR stuff - and I suspect that the ‘New Defender’ is going to be more of the same. (Hope I’m wrong!).
Sadly, my last (of 7) Land/Range-Rovers unless something changes dramatically.
Very, very sad.
