General Comments
I like the FL2 looks, akin to a Range Rover, which, misleadingly induce a belief of similar qualities. I purchased the car in March 2008 and 2 months later the clutch disintegrated in some ridiculously easy sandy terrain. I can say this in comparison to my Nissan Patrol towing a 2.5 ton speed boat to launch from sandy beaches.
Highly acclaimed Terrain Response feature? A GIMMICK!
Land Rover Recovery? A bunch of ill-mannered, inefficient and incompetent people, highly annoying when you desperately need someone to help you.
After-sale management? Worse than their Recovery team, but with sharp abilities in distributing blame and avoiding responsibility. DRIVING ANYWHERE OTHER THAN TARMAC: DRIVER ERROR!
Latest surprise: FL2 has just been recalled due to a serious FIRE HAZARD!
ANY BUYER PLEASE?
