Sorry to hear this but understood.. I would suggest an Audi A4/A6 quattro Avant TDi. Should do everything you want and be economical. If you still want the space I'd wholeheartedly recommend a Volvo XC90 with the D5 engine. Mine was great and still got 44mpg without trying.

Good choices...just don't go fancy and sporty my old weekend runaround tt v6 struggled to get more than 7 mpg yes thats right 7 mpg when you floored it ....normal running just teasing the throttle would give between 20 - 24mpg.
Since then bought a new kawasaki for speed and a retuned 206 gti 180 pushing 220 bhp..........."drives **** round town though although averages 35mpg with mixed driving.

Audi A4/A6 - possible
Volvo - XC90 - must check on dealerships/workshops in South-East Europe.
koda Octavia - possible
Audi tt V6 - too thirsty for me by far. LOL
Peugeot 206 GTi - wow
Kawasaki - dear dear dear
Food for thought indeed.

This could be a serious contender for the Freelander's replacement.

Skoda Octavia Scout 4x4 or VW T5 Syncro?
Watch out for oil pump drive problems on the earlier Passat 2.0lt Tdi around 07 plate.
Skoda has a good forum Briskoda.net.
Hands on members just like Landyzone.

Or even a Yeti.
I'm a member of Briskoda. One of the best forums I have come across.
The Haldex equipped Skoda's are excellent. Highly recommended. Really wanted the Superb V6 auto 4x4, but couldn't afford the petrol bill :lol:
Almost any Skoda is excellent these days, and has been for many years. I have had 2-an Octavia Estate L&K 2.0 PD140 TDI DSG and a Yeti Elegance CR140 DSG 4x4. Great cars. The Yeti was my favourite. Sold it to get rid of monthly repayments.

Vw T5 4motion- my next T5 Van will have this and a lift... they're bloody amazing all things considered. Loads more carrying space than a Freelander and more economical too if it's a newer 2L one...
