Out of interest, after having owned a Freelander, do you regret buying one and wish you had bought something else?
 
Mine is currently off the road with a duff engine management unit... however I still don't regret buying it.

I paid a little over 7K for it a few years ago and have done over 70000 miles in it... it's probably worth a realistic 3.5K now, and has cost me very little to run, apart from normal servicing.

Sure, it's got a few clunks and very minor niggles, but it's beaten much more pricey 4x4s off-road, when we've been out shooting, and was absolutely faultless in the snow this winter.

Sadly, I need a bigger car as soon as I've got the money together, but given the chance I'd definitely have another Freelander for economy, fun and as a capable off-roader.
 
Sometimes I do regret it, but just love to drive it :)

Definitely would consider another one. A facelift model or a FL2.
 
i have recently bought my freelander and i love it,i do worry about vcu issues and thought about going mondo mode for the summer!but maybe just leave it,the only niggle is with me is i should have bought a 3 door instead of a 5 because 5 is more pratical for me but wanted the roof off fun.Green oval all the way for me!!!!!
 
on my second, 2002 td4 ive got now,does everything i need and always have a landrover of some type in family,i had a rav 4 once never again,the ird or whatever they call it packed in and it cost a lot more to fix than a freelander!!!!!!!!!!11
