The V6 Freelander is the best version in terms of power and smoothness of drive, it does 20mpg. I've been using a 4X4 for winter transport for many years. We live in a rural location with a 2 mile country lain drive from the nearest shop so we have to get out no matter what the weather throws at us. I've had many 4X4's over the years. The worst on fuel I'v had was a Pajero which returned under 15mpg with the pace of a snail. My weekly commute is under 80 miles so the Freelander although thirsty doesn't cost to much. Now my wife has switched from the surprisingly thirsty Tiguan to the much more efficient GTC she saves more each week on fuel than I spend so it makes sense to me. I get the pace of a ZS 120 will the practicality of a Freelander all with that lovely V6 soundtrack.
