We have owned our 2007 FL2 TD4 now for just over a year and are highly delighted with it so far. However, I do have one question for which I would be appreciative of Members comments. In all that time we have hardly touched the various 'All Terrain Options' and have stayed in the basic setting for most of this time (not much need since it is used on tarmac roads in reasonable weather conditions just about all of the time). I did try one or two of the other selection options and have noticed that although the car still drives very well, the pickup is somewhat reduced from that of the basic option. Is this normal, I assume it is because it is now driving 4 wheels instead of just the front two and there is extra drag in the drive system. Any comments please.

Although no expert on FL2's and the Haldex 4x4 system and terrain response, I would imagine that the throttle input is muted to allow more smooth progress across rough terrain where your throttle foot could be bumped about causing a jerky ride on off in standard tarmac setting

I would imagine your manual will have more detail

Pretty much this. Cos you got no low range.

Put it in sand mode, should have increased power, especially at traffic lights!!!

No extra power in sand mode just increased throttle response for movement of pedal compared to normal

Terrain response is covered in the owners manual.
