Just joined

[Buzzy-Beans]

Hello one and all, I have just joined.

The reason why I have joined is that I have just started to look around buying another car and this time I am tempted to look out for an X3, so in actual fact I told a fib when I enrolled as I don't actually own one yet!!

Basically I am having a battle with my most beloved, she wants me to buy a LandRover Freelander whereas I want to buy either an X3 or a 3 series touring of which I wouldn't be wanting to go for any of the latest designs as I far prefer the looks of the model that ran up to 2004.  And I would only be wanting to go for a diesel version.

So basically I am looking to find out the good, the bad and the ugly aspects of owning either.

All the best

Hi Phil, welcome!

The freelander is an OK car (assuming you avoid the early K series versions) but it's not a patch on the driving experience you'd get from an X3 or 3 series.

Also, an equivalent X3 looks a lot more modern in my opinion than the freelander of that era.
