What will your next car be ...

Now that most of us have seen the the Disco Sport what will you be part exchanging your FL2 in for when the time comes.

I'll start of by saying possibly the new disco if it looks like the concept or a RRS! I will miss my manual however the DS is just not for me sadly! The reduction of the command driving postion and Censored rounded body is too much of a culture shock MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Ipanema Sand

Ask me again when I've seen a DS and driven one.
Spoke to my dealer today, and he said having driven one the difference in ride height is minimal, and the driving manners more than make up for the slight lack of height. Not looking to change cars for a while, but I know I want to stay with JLR, so the DS is the obvious choice.

Something where the damn roof doesn't slope down so that you can't use the space inside to fill with animal feed and bedding

A tiny tailgate is as much use as a chocolate teapot!

I fancy a Shogun - a proper 4 x 4, old, well liked by owners but panned by the motoring press. Heaps of car for the money and not stuffed with too much electronic junk. Would like to stay with Landrover but far too much style and not enough substance these days.

2014 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Lux Auto Loire Blue

I was considering the DS as our 7 seater family car but in 7 seat mode the luggage space and leg room appears awful so that rules that out. Kind of pointless the DS being 7 seats as you can't put any luggage in the car. I will not be getting another Land Rover as the reliability on my current and previous fl2 has been shocking Sad . I can not rely on it for punting the family about.

Possibly as above, Toyota hilux as I need to go through fields and do school runs. but I would consider a citroen Shocked (if they do a 4x4) just because our G4 picasso has been faultless.

I have no plans to change for a couple of years at least so I will consider the Disco Sport when the time comes but also look at the competition. 7 seats are of no benefit to me, I need something to tow a 1650kg 'van around Europe with two people and return with a few cases of vino.

Hopefully I can get a test drive soon and compere the driving position. Apart fom the driving position in the Volvo XC60 the other thing that put me right off it is the extreme tapered body line. At least the Disco Sport isn't that extreme but I doubt that it would take the Ikea chest of drawers that I got fully assembled (from the chuck-out section) into my FL2; http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/10239280/ GONE - '07 TD4 GS manual Zermatt Silver

For me it will be a Land Rover - nothing more, nothing less!
I will not move away from a 4wd nor to any other brand of 4X4.
Although I must say I don't like the way the new styling and target market is going.
So it seems I'll be pinning all future hopes on the Defender replacement.
[I did like the DC100 concept btw]

Unfortunately, I never wanted an Ewoke, and that means all the new models are out. As said above, the new Defender might be good for me. Until then, I will be looking at anything except L/R! Sad

Only owning the FL for some 7 months or so, and the massive list of problems I have been stuck with Laughing Needless to say that when the 5 years of debt is up will probs go for a newer FL2 or if the money drops by then maybe a D4 or see whats about in the DS in nearly 5 years time

5 years into the future I will have fixed all the problems and not want to get rid of the FL2 Laughing


Disco 4 does look like the next step up though Freelander 57 plate XS Blue Auto
