Another "what car?" thread. - LR Freelander 2 experiences?
We have just had a kid and while we can just fit what we need at the moment in our current hatchback it is not ideal at all. Thinking of getting a new (to me) car. I know it seems a bit mad due to their reputation but I have always fancied a JLR product... my head says get a Honda CRV/Toyota RAV4 but my heart wants a Freelander 2... I have a habit of getting bored with things I buy with my head. Also considering a Volvo estate, would love an XC70 but prices seem very inflated on those. Raised ride height is not a non-negotiable but is actually genuinely useful when driving around Devon country lanes.
Budget is around 15k, must be automatic. Looking for as late a model as possible.
What have people's experiences been? While no car is 100% reliable, from a quick bit of research it seems that they don't actually seem to be too bad on the reliability front if looked after.

My mates 1.4 Superb went kaput at sensible mileage when on holiday in France.
He just left it there and the family got the train home.
If you are going to buy a Superb, get a diesel.
