Picked up a new car today

GSXRMovistar · 26 Jan 2010 at 17:29

The Missus and I picked up her new car today replacing her Mini Cooper, it's a Land Rover Freelander 2 Td4 SE (late 56 reg with 30k on the clock, six-speed manual).

Spec list:- Part-Leather seats, 6 disc CD (MP3) changer, nine speaker Alpine audio system , Sat Nav with TMC, BT mobile phone integration, dual rear audio feeds, auto-dimming interior mirror, dual zone climate control, power seats, Cold climate pack (heated seats, screens and power foldback mirrors) , Dual panoramic sunroof, 17'' alloy wheels, automatic sensing headlights/wipers, met paint (inc bumpers), cruise control, driver information centre, Hill/Roll/Traction control (Terrain response gizmo), ABS, DSC, CBC (Corner Brake Control), Parking sensors (front/rear), FMDSH, years full dealer warranty and breakdown assistance.

Car is in fantastic condition and so far has been lovely to drive, and with all that extra space over the Mini it should prove practical as well.

Anyway here are some pics:-

Maccy · 26 Jan 2010 at 18:07

Do you get that numberplate too?!

Very nice, i like the new freelander lots.

The plate is awesome

Nice plate haha.

Bit of a change from a mini to that though I must say!

Nice car.

Are newer Landrovers as unreliable as the older ones?
Auntie has a 2005 freelander from new, it has had 2 new headgaskets in a year and a range of other problems.

LOL no not a fancy plate, I just cloned one of the letters over the rest. Just looks tidyier than bluring the plate or blocking it out.

jaysus · 26 Jan 2010 at 18:13

Looks very tidy. How much?

alexthecheese · 26 Jan 2010 at 18:14

The plate is obv a paint copy and paste copy and paste copy and paste

They seem to get very good reviews and are completely different from the old ones, probably would have made more sense to name them something different to drop the bad stigma.

Looks very nice

richolmes72 · 26 Jan 2010 at 20:19

Looks great! Best colour too - although get some Shadow Chrome 19"s on there!

Fantastic cars and we've been impressed by ours.

Much smarter than the older models. Notice how it's 'OK' to have a 4x4 again since the snow?

Cosimo · 27 Jan 2010 at 12:06

That looks very nice, shame the plate isn't real.

OllyM · 27 Jan 2010 at 12:09

Nice car - not convinced about the interior though, never been a fan of half leather... is the middle bit blue?!

jellybeard999 · 27 Jan 2010 at 12:10

Interior isn't the best colour for an offroad vehicle now is it?

BD10NNF · 27 Jan 2010 at 12:12

Seems very nice but I dont see the point in owning a 4x4 unless you use it off road. If people want space get an estate or some sort of people carrier or mini bus. Other than my little rant its a tidy.

Some inconsiderate sod has chucked their fish and chip paper in your footwell!!
