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?

I found this review not helpful because the reviewer didn't give us any information about the real issue he experienced. What sandy terrain managed to invalidate the warranty?? Why did LR decide not to fix the car? If the clutch is now fixed, what's his gripe and why does he want to get rid of it? Are there other problems? If so, let's hear them.
