Avoid the FreeLander.

Worked with a bloke who worked in Land Rover for over 20 years and he said that the Freelander is the WORST car they make  :sick:

This.... I had the pleasure of one as a courtesy vehicle for a day recently... that was enough.

Freelander is out then.

Soooooo what I need is car that looks presentable, can tow upto 1400KG, is derv and about £5K. At the moment it seems to be the Passat TDI 4mo or a 2.5 TDI A4 Quattro.

My mate steves a LR tech, he went solo last year an made triple what he made employed an always has a full workshop...... maybe this tells you something about the Landrover brand!

Plus the only FL i've ever driven felt like a space hopper with magic toy car gears so far apart you need a passport to change into 3rd!

I was looking at the 2.5TDI's and apparently they're not so good  :sad:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
