Hi,
First time posting but I have been a lurker on here for a few months now and I am considering an FL2 as a replacement for my ageing MGZT, still running great at 158k.
I'm looking at 2013/2014 models and trying to discover the weaknesses and problems plus whether it would be a wise purchase compared to an X3 (again) or even a Kia Sportage, I need something with easier access for Mrs Vossy than the ZT, she has tried an FL2 with side steps for access and she was okay with that.
I have read so many conflicting stories of all sorts of things going wrong but on the other hand about them being bulletproof if looked after, like any car I guess.
The running gear is or should be okay if serviced properly and on time, as I read it anyway.
We are a LR family, my sons both have RR's, one has a newish Sport and the other a Velar, seems only fair that daddy should also join the club.
I am looking for genuine opinions from owners of these cars, good or bad, let me have it.
My X3 was utterly brilliant with the 3 litre engine but needed work on the 4 wheel drive system so that had to go, unfortunately.
I have seen quite a few FL2's across the country but have yet to see one that pings my bells completely, and Mrs Vossy must like it too, she is picky.
Mileage wise I have seen ones from 60k to 160k, looked after models seem a bargain with high mileage and full service history.
Any and all opinions welcomed.
Steve
