I need to change my 2003 Freelander TD4 Auto for a newer Landy, maybe an EVOGUE, so does anyone have any information Good or Bad on buying a 2010/2011 Evogue Auto Diesel or would I be better off buying a similar priced Freelander 2 Diesel Automatic.. Have got somewhere in the region of £6K to spend. Any info or advice very gratefully accepted.
cheers

The Freelander 2 is generally considered more reliable than an Evoque, which is odd considered they're very similar vehicles.

Well unless you want me to download endless pictures of EV Evoque would ruin your reputation. Considering the hurdle of being in a queue by many people here to have a slanging match.

Well thank you very much for your views. All I need now is to find a half decent Freelander 2 or maybe an Evoque!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any newer diesel the dpf would be a consideration, do you drive enough to keep it clean and I would factor in replacement cost.

For info, the Evoque is a similar size to the Freelander 1, just slightly wider and not quite as high. The Freelander 2 is quite a lot larger.

The F2 is about the same length and height as F1, but quite a bit wider, significantly heavier and significantly more powerful.

Hi all and thanks for the info. I would prefer the larger F2 but I like the look of the Evoque. I"m not looking to use either Off Road but I do need a vehicle which will carry my disabled Wife and her Wheelchair should she ever need hospitalising through any weather conditions. I know I shouldn"t but I will be going to look at a NISSAN JUKE(Petrol) !!!!!! later this morning but to save my blushes does anyone have or know of a nice clean F2
Thanks for the advice

I don't have an F2, but I do have a Petrol Juke, Don't... They are not nearly as big as they seem! Tiny little things, I am simply keeping mine alive so I don't have to buy another car, Insurance at 21 is horrid, 3 cars is all I can do!

Hi xDParis64,
I"m just about to drive the 5 miles to look at the Juke. I will let everyone on this site know what I think about it.

As for physical disabilities I would say no for Evoque or Freelander.
1. Unless you invest in adapting access and de access to front passenger seat and frame.
2. Are you physically capable of lifting your partner from seating to and from vehicles.
3. Is the partner capable to manage exit and return to the seat without you aiding.
4.is your partner physical conditions likely to be harmed or later stage worsen by you or by itself.
There are dedicated vehicles designed for better access from the tailgate safely.
I like to apologise for my own stupidity in drawing
