Had a good look round one today. Really liked what I saw when looking at them online but in the flesh it looks more soft roader than anything else. No adjustable ride height either.

It was also smaller than I thought it would be, by the time I'd adjusted my seat there wasn't much room in the back although it was the 3 door one.

Great looking car all the same.

Stylish fashion accessory. Our local primary school car park will be full of them once widely available.

No adjustable ride height but the independant suspension means that things like the diffs are tucked up out of the way... Which will help with clearance.

It's also going to be very light compared to the other Range Rovers... Big advantage if you're in soft stuff!

Otherwise, you're going to have to wait & see how it performs in the flesh. wink

Untill you compress the suspension and the diffs get closer to the ground.

I won't be as good as a Defender / Disco, but I'd be surprised if it was signed off with less ability than the Freelander.

Isnt it esentially a Freelander with a different body though? In which case it will be quite good.
