£45k for a revamped Freelander!!  Ouch.  Personally I don't think it should carry the Range Rover moniker.

I don't have a problem with that

It was RR quality and it was nice place to be

Just dull to drive.

Would have saved us £20k on what she did buy if she liked this though!

Nice looking car IMO and I liked the interior, though it's a little cramped compared with the E70.  The all new RR sport also looks nice... ;)

I've seen loads of the new FFRR around here and I like it

Shame it is £100k though

Will be interested to see new RRS

We looked at buying one last year but unfortunately we received terrible service at the dealership, I am sure they aren't all like that (i hope so) but it put us off, the mrs still loves them & perhaps wishes now we had tried somewhere else as they seem to be a really good motor.

Agree on the customer service it was crap and we were a serious buyer

Arrogant twats!

Spot on! My mrs wanted to chin him as he was incredibly Arrogant we just couldn't believe how bad they were but I just presumed that's probably how most range rover owners are so that's perhaps the way the owners like to be treated, but it certainly wasn't for us.

Good looking car.

Minor niggle - For the money I wouldn't want netted storage bins on back of front seats.

I like look of it albeit I am finding myself having stereo-typical expectations driver image with it.........Not sure if that's due to Victoria Beckham or examples I see driven locally.

I'd probably rather have an F25 - but that's me.

I know what you mean on price etc, may suit the types that have pink x6s too.....
seriously thouh I thaught it was ok and as 535 says not blistering performance but I still thaught for a 2.2d it was reasonable and I did go in the m3, also nice drive, only thing is as they get into my price range theres a lot of electronic trickery to go wrong and well if I get enough work to buy a new one, well for the money I wouldn't buy a new one tbh

It isn't just me then, RR dealerships are renowned for being arrogant tits!  I tried three & they seemed to turn their nose up at me.
