I don't think this is a solution at all. If like me, that guy fell in love with the Disco, it probably has to do with the looks of it, the fact that they are a pretty rare sight on the road, and the prestige associated with the Land Rover name. And if I canquote the words ofa well respected canadian automotive specialist group; 'the freelander is, excuse our expression, too cheap to deserve the Land Rover name'. With this said, that thing looks like a rebadged ford escape. So if someone was attracted to a Discovery, I don't think that steering him or her in the freelander's direction, is a viable option.

I WOULD NEVER EVER RECOMMEND THE FREELANDER OVER A DISCOVERY!!!!

Ok first off, Honda with a Phat exhaust, please. I have owned two, and they were my beginner cars, and I would never go back to them. I have nothing against them, just not my cup of tea. The gas issue is one of practicality. In terms of maintenance, regular or scheduled maintenance is fine, but having to fix something like every month is just a pain. I've had 3 cars of which every month I would have to be at a mechanic shop. And it wasn't due to my driving, etc, i baby my vehicles, but due to flaw in designs. One that was a headache was a Mitsubishi GSR which I owned, something was always breaking or something, due to the fact that it was Auto and couldn't accomodate the engine's power. All I want is a vehicle of which I can love and enjoy, be dependable, and yet practical. I'll take the notion of driving a few to see how it goes. But all in all, if I'm not going to get a Discovery, I guess I'll never own another SUV... Thanx for your help guys

Well, chances are you will have to be at the shop fairly often in the firstfew months, depending how **** you are about the condition of your vehicles. But once most of the preventative maintenance and all that has to be done is done, you can really enjoy these vehicles.
Just remember that most people will sell their Disco when there's a long list of things to do on them, and they are fed-up with spending money in it.
