As I have posted previously, living in semi rural N Yorks, several of my neighbours feel the need to run 4WDs. CRV's, Rav 4's. Freelanders, XC90s, Disco's, Kuga, X Trail, X1, Q3,Q5 ..this gets boring.
But within the past few months three of them have replaced 3yo Freelander TD4's with, what appears to me, identical replacements. With respect, they are all old folk who drive like slow frats, but I can only assume that they have been happy with their Freeloaders. Reliability must have been sorted then, and no DPF probs as they only drive a mile each way to the local supermarket.
I did consider a 4WD myself. A6 V10 estate. Then I woke up.
But I still think the local franchise must be darned good sales people selling diesels to these oldies whose idea of a long run is 15 miles to the nearest town.
