The Rover “K” series petrol engine was always a diabolical contraption

There are two rules when buying a Freelander:

 

1) NEVER buy a petrol version, under any circumstances,

 

2) ALWAYS obey the first rule!

What about something like an X-Trail? I was having a butchers at those today coincidentally - for about the same age and mileage that a Freelander 2 would set me back £14k, you can get an X-Trail for about £8k.

 

I was seriously thinking about chopping in my wife's Nissan shopping trolley (n.b. been very reliable apart from her driving it over a lamppost in last winter's ice; can't blame that on the car) and the Isuzu Trooper and getting an X-Trail to cover both roles.

 

Anyone know what they're like off-road?

had a play in the xtrail offroad at nec birmingham a couple of years ago, it let a lot of water in at the watersplash and the doors wouldn't open when it was crossaxled, also it creaked a lot when crossaxled but seemed ok otherwise..

monocoque and not very rigid one at that then?!

 

but capable(ish) off road - mud, grass etc?

 

ground clearance?

that was a brand new one, i'm not trying to put you off them, my neighbor has one that looks cool and he swears by it, yes it was pretty good off road in mud/bumps etc:thumbup1:

Nissan were as good as Toyota 10 years ago now they are owned by citroen or renault they are hopeless. Just my experience was a nissan fan now would not touch one with a barge pole.
