Why does he want a 4x4 Nath? If he's actually going to do anything off road, the Freelander is going to be shit.

He does about 80 miles a day and wants something big and comfortable for motorway cruising. I doubt it'd see any mud tbh. He's had all sorts of cars before but never a 4x4, so guess he wants to get it out the system.

For the Rolls

80 miles a day x 5 days = 400miles

400miles x 52 = 20,800 miles a year

say the rolls does 15mpg

20,800 / 15 = 1386.6 reccuring gallons

£4.26 pound a gallon x 1386.6 = £5906.90p in fuel

5906.9 + 4995 for the car = 10910.9

get the rolls imo

I've been using my old dears freelander for a few weeks, comfy and robust enough for her, i personally dislike driving it but it does everything she needs it for.
