After 5 very happy years of motoring in my Freely, I've pulled the trigger on a new Range Rover Evoque, in Firenze Red. The Freely has been a tremendous, reliable, enjoyable drive and keeping a car for 5 years is a first for me and so staying with the LR family feels right, but bye bye Freely, it's been nice knowing you!  ...

Be true to yourself. That way happiness lies...

Bye bye Freely just remember to look closely at the DNA of the Evoque Enjoy the new motor nothing beats the new car smell. Hope you don't miss the command view to much  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Did you have any major or unexpected issues with it and how many miles did you do in the 5 years.?

I ask because I bought my first F2 last year (62 GS with 22K on it) and wondering if I'll get a wallet bashing.

My Disco 300 tdi on the other hand is no trouble - er except oil leaks and threat of terminal rust !!

Enjoy, it's a nice little car.

I was amongst the first adopters and it was a surreal experience, people stopping and staring. Park it in a car park and come out to see people around it. It was just completely different to any Land Rover that had went before.

I assume your one will have the Ingenium engine? 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Yep Ingenium 2.0L ... seems quieter, more refined than the 2.2L ... and lower CO2 / fuel consumption (although I've always been pleased with the economy on the FL2, coming after a very thirsty NMW X3...) ...

My son has an Evoke Autobiography and loves it,I must admit I like it very much too good luck with yours.

Cheers! It's been a great 5 yrs with the Freely and I've enjoyed this forum immensely. It's been a great resource! ...

I made the move three months ago. Apart from having a bit less room in the boot (which fortunately, we didn't need) it's a cracking car. I may miss the opening sunroof come the warmer weather though. A bit more of a sporty drive than the FL2. Well mine is with the Magneride suspension.  Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
