i am happy to say that my wife loves the discovery.she drives it the most;to and from work and around town.when we were first looking at landrovers she wanted the freelander.after extensive reading on this forum i finally talked her out it and into the disco.we were down at our local landrover dealershipthe other day and i asked the service manager about the freelander.he had one word for me...run.when my wife heard that, she was even happier that we purchase the disco.yesterday she said when it is my turn for a new/used vehicle that she would like to see me buy the lr3.i thought i was hearing things!the info and support on this forum has been excellent.thanks everyone.

Does your deal have the off road course ther in B.C.? If so have them take you and your wife across it.
I think that the 3-door soft top Freelander would be a great beach toy for the sand dunes and such.

 

its the scary maintenance and breakdown stories that steered me away from the freelander,not its capability.also,we have three kids that play hockey and the disco offers more room

I agree that the DIsco is a much better faily car, but I meant have the dealer take you over the course in a LR3. Or better yet, your DII if they will.
