Finally ditched my CRV and have a nice shiny 53 plate v6 freelander.
Not fussed on fuel consumption, as I dont do many miles, so thought the
V6 a nice choice.
Lovely car with all the leather and toys, and the tiptronic is a joy.
Only fault I have found is that the autobox doesnt pick up properly in (2nd?)
if I floor it from a standing start...it changes at about 6k rpm, and then burbles a little erratically and doesnt pick up. If I use tiptronis mode and accelerate hard from standing still in the same way (manually change at 6k) it is absolutely fine... bit puzzling and not a real problem as I doubt there will be many time I ever use the kickdown like this from a standing start... but curious if its a common thing...
Didnt even test it on the test drive !!
Looking forward to being a member of the board.
