Freelander. Reviews:

If cars and family cars are expected in the first place attractive appearance and reliability, the crossovers are taken for their patency. Excellent roadability is the main advantage of the car Freelander 2. Reviews note that he is not afraid of a snow and a half-meter, no spring mud, no sand, no rut. The crossover will pass without difficulty, where other models of its class are stuck, and ordinary curbs are not at all a hindrance. At the same time, thanks to a soft suspension, the driver does not have to jump on bumps and potholes - the ride remains comfortable even on a rough road. Pleases the owners and a worthy noise insulation of the car Freelander 2. Reviews confirm that noise from the street in the interior does not penetrate, only the sound of the engine is heard, and it increases with increasing speed. However, at a speed of 140 km per hour, you can safely talk on the phone or with passengers.

Excellent handling can also be considered the merits of the car. The car obeys the steering wheel, it is easy to go around hummocks and pits on the road. However, it should be borne in mind that the car is simply not designed for sharp maneuvers, especially at speed - if you go too fast to the turn, it will start to heel. In terms of fuel consumption, it is quite economical, if you compare it with machines of similar mass and power.

The owners are pleased with the decoration and equipment of the Freelander 2 salon. The testimonies indicate that expensive quality materials were used during the assembly. Comfortable seats on which the covers are cleaned and cleaned, soft plastic. As for the minuses of the model, the complaints are primarily received for expensive maintenance and high prices for branded spare parts. In addition, the owners believe that the recommended frequency of maintenance is greatly understated - the car should be checked every 12 thousand km.

The internal space of the saloon has not been thought out a little - except for large pockets on the doors and a glove box, such a small thing as glasses, keys, cellular, put especially and nowhere. Relatively small for the crossover, the trunk can also be attributed to the shortcomings of the Land Rover Freelander. The owners' testimonies confirm that the volume of the branch is sufficient in everyday life to bring the purchases from the market or supermarket, but to place there everything necessary for traveling to nature is much more problematic. Some note that the volume of the salon also leaves much to be desired. If the front of the driver and passengers are placed freely, then people will not be so spacious in the rear of the Freelander 2 from behind. The reviews also indicate that the car may have difficulties with starting in winter when the outside temperature is below -25 degrees.
