Have a Disco Sport HSE black as a second car for the Defender.
Much quieter, smoother, posher and more gadgets, but still makes you smile. 100% recommendation from me. (actually my wife) So far it's also not broken down.  |

I drove a couple diesel and petrol versions and have to say it’s just like any other family car today. Nothing special. That said, I liked it.
Enough room inside, simple dash design was a pleasure to look at. Personally the car was also fast enough for me. Maybe the 150 bhp version would lack a bit? Never driven that one but it’s probably still faster than my Defender. |

Well I test drove a late fl2 today, it would do the trick to be fair.
But thanks for the comments, I now need drive a DS. Ginjez... It's a fantastic car, rear wheel drive, manual, big engine, wish I could keep it. |

There's a very late fl2 hse for sale at Land Rover Centre Huddersfield. They are great cars with all the toys. We've had three of them all with auto and all 100% reliable.
To go off at a tangent have you considered a Toureg? |

Thanks Guys, I really appreciate your comments.

Only spending half the money - you're morphing into a Yorkshireman

We've also been thinking about a FL2 this weekend, but they seem to move fast with low miles

It would suspect the Royal Family are buying up all the low mileage Freelanders.

The hippo (Freelander 2) is a fantastic car. Probably the most reliable one I’ve ever owed. Get a map on it and they fly.
