That all sounds good to me. Local mpg is 18mpg and motorway is 27 to 28 at a steady 60mph, in ma v6. It drinks fool like it's free. I would like to have an SD4 but only if ma hippo is no longer feasible to repair cost wise, or is deaded. It just a shame they're going to stop producing them. I think the FL2 should continue. Sales are still strong. I likes blue and red ones.
That's a good point you make there, you're dedicated to the cause to live with those figures - hats off to you
Don't get me wrong, I love my SD4 and I will pay the fuel bills - it's worth it.
It's criminal that they've stopped building them. What ever the Disco Sport may be, good or bad, it's not a direct replacement for the FL2. It's too expensive and it's too close to being yet another variation on the Evoque theme. It's certainly no use to me - too little boot space, too low a driving position and did I mention, the price?!
What's really shocked me as that since I bought my current SD4 around 6 weeks ago, I've been keeping tabs on the prices of nearly new Freelanders and (despite the fact that it's obsolete) the like for like used prices have been going up!

Not what you'd expect.
I completely agree with you - the FL2 should have stayed in production alongside the more expensive DS. At the very least until there is a more practical 5 seat version, or the replacement for the Defender arrives. Or, better still, a Freelander 3!
PS: Favourite colours - Red, blue and the, sadly short lived, Kosrae Green.
