I can totally appreciate where you are coming from with this .... I bought my first land rover which is the freelander 2 about 4 weeks ago and I was just as unsure as I had discounted the model because of bad information on the series 1 with the 1.8 petrol k series engine.

Freelander, x-trail or Santa Fe? That really is a no-brainer! Welcome to Freelander ownership... |

Most of the critism comes from what people have heard about the first one, plenty of them on the road still though.

if you read through various posts on the forum you will see the FL2 does have some issues.

I had a FL1 as well, and it had the BMW chain driven cam engine fitted when BMW owned them.Never a problem. If you look after any car, it will last. On my second FL2, love them. You won't regret it. Al the others are pretenders. |

Take all three for a test drive and the Freelander will show you why you should have one better than any salesman can.

I have two x5s as well as the freelander 2. I bought the freelander as we live at the top of a hill and the x5 4wd system is a joke. They're treat cars but show it some snow and it sh!ts itself! I got our freelander from my Dad. He jd it since new and it had done 50k miles and is a 2011 Gs auto. I can honestly say that the reliability has slam dunked BMW to the point where I am considering chopping in the BMWs for Range Rovers. All mechanical things break, but the freelander compared to the bmw is a dream to own. I have done 10k miles in ours now and in that time have had to change the EGR valve and the rear tailgate brake light leaked which LR did for free as they said it was such a fast job to fix.

A relative bought a top of the range Evoque two years ago. Very happy with it. I just bought a Freelander. I did speak to people in the street in my local area where possible to get their thoughts if they were willing to part with them. All seemed to be pretty happy with their Freelanders (2).

I'm on my second FL2 having had the first one for 5 years and 75k. The only problem I had was the rear diff, everything else was very reliable. I considered the X3 and XC60 when I came to replace it but stayed with the FL2. I am usually ready for a change after having had a car for a while but the FL2 does everything I want and is great to drive.
