1999 Land Rover Freelander XEI review from Netherlands
"Briljant"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
A very fine 4x4. I hear people complain about fuel-consumption, but I am very pleased with it. I just went on holiday in Italy and has to tow an folding caravan. The fuel-consumption was very low, just 8 litteres on 100km.
Also the comfort is very good, for a 5 year old car. Nothing is squawking or rattling, no noise of wind (soft-top).
The disign is perfectly, the only convertible for 5 people with enough room for holiday stuff. I also used to own a Jeep Wrangler, but the fuel-consumption cost me a arm and a leg.
Petrol-cost in Holland are very expensive, 1.50$ a liter.
Up to now its the best car I ever owned.
