Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Real comfortable cruiser and much quicker than the old 2.0 TDI. More car like handling too, so can throw into corners and roundabouts easier. Only downside is the steering can be twitchy and over responsive at speed
What's it like to park?
Despite feeling a lot bigger than the old Freelender, it parks easily the rear sensors are useful - front ones just annoying.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
In 4 weeks - no
What's most practical about your car?
Intergrated bluetooth - a total joy and easy to use
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Bluetooth and SatNav, also this was one of the dealers managers cars and I really lie the leather/elec seats that are fitted as extra.
