England 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 Sport Auto Sumatra Black

Ok it's getting a bit nerdy now.(way over my head)


I've not had a good look at the Sports LE yet because I was more interested in working out the numbers.

I just hope I haven't made a massive mistake after being spoilt with the HST and now downsizing spec.

But now I'm paying less monthly payments for a younger car.

Will I notice a difference in mpg ? SD4 Sports LE Black ...

I would imagine you will see a bit of a drop in MPG compared to your previous car but your newer one is a more efficient engine, my SD4 has peaked at 41 mpg but doing 60 mph on a motorway is boring.
You will probably hear grossly exaggerated figures and 'npinks' will give you the lower end of economy Laughing that only he has attained but mine in reality averages out around 34 MPG, but we didn't buy it for the fuel economy did we.

Apologies for contributing to any potential doubt

I'm sure you've thought about your change long and hard and wouldn't have gone through with it if you aren't sure.

When you pick the new one up any doubt will be thrown out straight away!

Get some pics up when you get it Thumbs Up

Can't comment on mpg I'm afraid, it may be slightly better overall, bare in mind initially it will be tight and take a short while to be at it's best. Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

Big Dave ...no

Had no intention of changing car but started flicked through auto trader on Friday night
And by 1 o'clock on Saturday I was signing on the dotted line .

Nothing wrong with the HST except 51500 miles on clock and no warranty.

My wife uses the car in the winter to traval up and down the country and I'd hate for her to get stuck Laughing SD4 Sports LE Black ...

Picked up the new sport LE Lastnight ....

Maybe think I should have took it for a test drive first.

Breaks aren't as hot as my HST...
Why do people use them door edge protectors ?. As all they do is scratch the paint work ...
Also the heater sounds like Roger Whittaker, when its whistling away. Sad

I know it's just teething problems and I will be informing the dealers...

But still well chuffed Cool SD4 Sports LE Black ...
