RE: Last minute jitters

My FL2 is a nice car and does have a slightly higher ride than my Evoque. However, the Evoque is a much nicer ride overall.

Enjoy your Evoque, you won't be disappointed Thumbs Up

I went back to the Fl2, not because the Evoque is a bad car, far from it, looks stunning and handles great. I just prefer the Fl2.

RE: Last minute jitters

Depending on what LR do with the Freelander replacement I may be back. I enjoyed every minute with the car, I would be lying if I said I didn't.

It will take a bit of getting used to but once you do it's a fun little 4x4, that's just as capable as the rest of the range.

I really hope you are right. Otherwise my farmers will give me a severe ear bashing if they have to come and collect me from the end of the farm tracks!

Good luck with your new car. Thumbs Up

I had an Evoque Prestige whilst my FL2 was in for its second service the other week. Whilst it was a very nice car, I was happy to get my Freelander back.

I have been contemplating what to replace my Freealdner with, and after much consideration I have ordered a new RRS HSE. Hopefully I will have it in March/April! Very Happy

I will really miss the Freelander, and will be back when the new FL/Disco is released.

Arrived: MY14.5 RRS HSE SDV6 in Loire Blue, Ivory interior, piano black trim, privacy glass,
panoramic sunroof, tow bar, mudflaps and full size spare Cool

Gone but not forgotten: 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE in Santorini Black, 19" Alloys, ebony interior,
piano black trim & grab handles, privacy glass, lux pack, rear spoiler, mudflaps and tow bar Very Happy

If you are worried about that then try to find a set of 18" All Terrain tyres, they will look a bit odd and be a bit noisier on the road but will almost guarantee you won't have to be rescued from a farm track! I can assure you that an Evoque will go everywhere that a Freelander2 can go. One issue you might have with the Evoque is that you have to remove quite a large trim panel on the rear offside to get at the recovery point and driving around with that off isn't a pretty sight!

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Last minute jitters

I have a FL2 and Evoque. There's nothing that a FL2 can do that the Evoque can't. Possibly even more.

Arrived 16 December 2011: Prestige SD4 auto 5dr in OG with Adaptive Dynamics, Adaptive Xenons, Surround Cameras, Auto Dimming Rearview, Grey Oak Wood, Spare Wheel and Powered Tailgate.
