Dan I have to say I was thinking of a post along these lines myself. Despite recently having my head turned by bling 110's I have to say the FFRR still steals my heart. The down side to forums like this is mainly people post with "issues" with the vehicle... which doesn't really do the day to day experience justice.
I have had my fair share of hits for repairs and alot of preventative maintainance with my FFRR but of all the cars I've owned it is AWESOME. I can turn up at work and be "king of the Castle" ... on the days its my turn to drive to the pub the FFRR makes it all ok The trips with the Caravan are a breeze and the FFRR really sells its self in this respect.
It is akin to driving down the fast lane on your favorite sofa. Every now and then I venture in to other brands.. through work... and think myself extremely lucky getting back in the FFRR when I begin to accept its features as normal its a quick reminder that its AWESOME despite now being 7 years old.
Recent motorway commutes have turned in to sport.. so far my personal best is 32mpg ...dare I say it ... with the air con off. A recent check of the tyre pressure showed them to be under so that should improve yet again next time I have the pleasure of a motorway trip. Be cool - air con is back on ooo that reminds me.. I have the water shedder to fit... which is akin to a opaque posh bag and sticky seal .. what was I saying about Landrovers soloutions to a leak being a Mac  2010 Disco XS TDV6, 2009 Freelander 2 GS
