The decision to "splash out" on a Land Rover has to be carefully considered. A basic Defender would be appropriate but the fuel economy and lack of speed make the Freelander more attractive.

Which Landrover to choose?

Choosing a Landrover seems to continue to be a contentions issue - with claims of non patriotic Landrover news and the ongoing criticism of the poor environmental record the "chelsea tractors" have its little wonder that you look before you leap

Marketing Madness

Some motor sites seem to miss the point and instead of simply giving details that are helpful to potential customers offer razzle dazzle instead assuming that a well shot video will speak a thousand words well thats understandable for them's lucky enought obe choosing anew car but we all know the perils of secondhand deals. Scout around and you can find absolute bargains - check this freelander sales site - decent models less than 6 years old 70,000 miles onthe clock, fully loaded and all for under £3.5K but are they reliable and safe?

Land Rover Freelander information

Whilst hunting around I expected to ge thte full facts from the C4 Motor section and the Freelander feature however it was two years old - the perils of the internet archive.

Maybe I'm alone but when I'm in the process of spending thousands of pounds on a vehicle I want to know much more basic information - such as fuel cosumption etc.

Shop Around - Check Safety, Electronics, Distribution and Reliability

I was dismayed that I had to search and visit various sites to get the low down on any vehicle I was interested in.

Perhaps it is in the consumers favour that you are forced to read widely - for example indepenant reports about the freelander safety features and elsehwere to get another truely independant review Auto Express offered this fairly comprehensive review feature about the Freelander
