I'm considering hoofing the Jimny out as it's shrinking in size, or as the missus puts it, "It may be caused by something else". She's not normally that polite. In truth since I've had the knee replacement I can't achieve a bend further than 90 degrees, ingress and egress are a struggle. I shall miss its off road capabilities but I'll not miss the lack of Torque or BHP.
I would like a replacement with some off road capability although it now doesn't need to be as extreme as the Jimny. Much as I had always intended running the proverbial mile at the very mention of a Freelander, a mate has one, a Freelander 2 and it has been faultless. It's roomy and comfortable and the write ups I've read have been positive.
Any thoughts please and also on alternatives. Budget 7-8k ish.
Many thanks...............MD
