Freelander VS Fronteraversus i am absolutely thrilled to bits with my fronty, so many things are better than the freelander the freelander had a fair bit of roll when cornering, sometimes i felt like i might slip of the seat, uncomfy as well, sat awfy high up compared to the dash level it was bouncy its interior and dashboard was plain, boring, no character, dated and worst of all was the swimming pool in the boot (which apparantley all freelanders suffored from to some extent) where the lockable cubby hole holding the jack etc under the carpet was. i scooped out 35 pints of rain water one week and had to do this on a weekly basis cause it rains a lot here! because of the water the seats etc felt damp and cold and the windows were always steamed up and frozen on the insides in winter ( the heaters were poop as well) apparently the water was coming in through the screws holes where the boot window seal and the roof met, so the roof carpet was soaked at the back also. however because it was the 2ltr td4 it was quite rapid, but was just a boring characterless vehicle now the fronty doesnt roll nearly as bad, hardly at all the steering is a lot more sensitive and can corner more tightly its comfy, the seating position is braw and the dash etc is cool as better visibility, although less window area, i have two sunroofs, braw the engine seems to be a bit of a mover (only 35000m otc) and its quiet the standard cd system sounds really good the only down and this is a very minor down that im more than happy to live with is that there isnt as much door cubby hole space for eric clapton and led zepplin cds and stuff, there is one in the middle, but i got a lotta cds the fronty really is a pleasure to drive, has so much character and appeal and i cant wait to take it off road MOD EDIT: Image tags fixed. Si
easy way round the lack of cubby space.
IPOD! mine hides away in my centre console (A Series) so no one knows its there. As for the rest. i agree. Ive driven a freelander nad was not impressed. matt 2.8TDI Sport. - 3" lift, 31" Recip Trials, Roof Rack, High Lift, Winch.
I would agree with that after driving my dads freelander at the weekend NOT IMPRESSED having driven a SWB fronty a few times as well as my own LWB's the fronty is much nicer and fun to drive , also found the ride in the back of the freelander to be very bumpy & made me feel Also tryed to get my dad to have a fronty BUT he seems to like the freelander he says its better than the disco he tryed oh well as long as he dose NOT want a A............
