I know it's daft but they become such a part of your family that it can be a deal-breaker, can't it?

They are indeed. Everything we do would have to be with the dogs in consideration. Also don't like to think of them getting old |

My old Lab also has joint and hip problems! I actually sold a FL2 and bought the lowest estate I could find (BMW). He couldn't get in that either! So I sold it and bought another FL2 I actually find it easier to load him into the FL2 as I can keep my back straight. With the BMW I was stooped over holding 35kg of wriggling Lab-definitely not good for the back. |

That's interesting. I've always felt a bit guilty loading him into the Freelander and wondered whether I should get an estate! It's not so bad getting him in - he puts his front paws on the slam panel (with help), I then get underneath his rear end and lift him up in. Getting him out I literally have to carry him - 44.3 kg

I had a very similar one but my lab just wouldn't use it. I guess as the boot was so high it made the ramp very steep. |

As for the OP, this is my first freelander 2 and it does have its niggles. The windows not working properly and now the washers, but these things happen in all cars. the boot space is not a big as you would imagine.

Pop a little pully sort of setup on the rear so you can pop a lead onto it and pull the lead and the dog will follow. MAYBE |

Never found the sat nav as bad as people say it is. Neither in my previous MY10 nor in my current MY13. The boot is small and high but cabin space is good.
