Full Marks on every count

Exterior The exterior-  high Grill and ground clearance gives the Freelander an imposing look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Once inside, you are cocooned from the external world. You truly feel that the LR can actually be used on the surface of the moon; without spilling your coke. Very subtle and practicle interiors.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very responsive, I was chasing and overtaking all kinds of Beamers, Mercs and Audi's on Marine Drive (Bombay) effortlessly. In fact they made way for the Freelander. Fuel Economy is pretty good. Gear box moves from Manual/Sport to Auto easily, in fact I found it more resposive than the Gearbox of the Beamer 520.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent handling and braking power, in an emergency at @100kmph, the freelander stopped 5 feet on jamming the brakes and I didnt even feel a strain on the steering wheel as she didnt run away with herself.

Final Words Full Marks on every count. Land Rovers are known for SUV's since the last 60 years and they have it to the Tee. Unlike BMW, Merc, Audi etc who are sedan companies trying to get a toehold in the SUV market.

Areas of improvement None.
