Freelander 2

Breadcrumbs

If you say you were delayed on an empty mountain road because you had a Freelander, you'd be lying.

Your first ascent up the true-blue off-roading hill.

Comfort

Spacious, but ride could be less firm.
Performance

Four-pot engine is adequate. But seekers of serious thrills will be disappointed
Cool

Sleek understated design should make it unattractive to seekers of bling. Perfect for us.
Quality

Hardy and durable, but at this price buyers would like things to feel and touch better.
Handling

If you say you were delayed on an empty mountain road because you had a Freelander, you'd be lying. Takes well to slush and grime, too.
Practicality

Not a seven-seater but enough room for five and a Great Dane. Dimensions are more compact than some sedans.
Running costs

Pricey to buy, but diesel keeps your bank balance hefty.
