Getting it right
It’s hard to think of other niggles. Dashboard reflections — yes, but less distracting than in Volvos. You start by pushing a keyless thing into a hole, then push the start/stop button. Then, quite often, you do it again two or three times because the thing pops out. Perhaps there’s a knack. But these are niggles and no more. I thoroughly enjoyed this car. I couldn’t do a serious off-road test but doubtless it would cope well; there’s never been a Land Rover that didn’t. Otherwise, it feels compact while being capacious, feels well built, feels good, looks good, the way some cars do. It costs from £21,325 for the base diesel to £35,395 for the powerful 3.2 petrol, and last week the Financial Times carried a Land Rover offer of £5,000 off for anyone ordering by the end of March. It may not be too late if you get in there and haggle. This is a Freelander that will not disappoint.
