Yes, we love the look and feel of the FL2. Just a worry when you
can only afford a 5 year old one and it is the second largest
purchase next to your house!
How old is your FL2 murano? Do you have any tips to look
out for?
Many thanks

So sorry didn't see this before, ours is a 2009 td4 xs, it's our first FL2 , I can't really offer any advise ( I'm not sure about technical stuff lol, leave that bit to the husband ) but I do tow our caravan myself, so i can say its a lovely tow vehicle very nice and feels very soild, and it's a far superior tow vehicle to the FL1 TD4 , mainly because it's got more power being a 2.2 and also it's heavier, and it has I think 150kg towball weight, our previous hippos only 140kg all though still very good, we upgraded our van to a heavier one, and whilst the FL1 still was capable it was slightly underpowered and was meaning we were towing at 92% which wasn't comfortable with , so hense the change over. I'm probably biased, I'm a big landrover fan, as previous to all the freelanders we've always had discoveries ( which I love) but as I didn't have horses anymore, we didn't feel the need for such a huge vehicle, but still needed a tow vehicle and a everyday car, so opted for a FL1 ( well a couple) but have to say the FL2 has surpassed everything we could have hoped for, a good everyday car and a tow vehicle, sorry if I've rabbited on lol, but I'd recommended one to anyone, you will get people say un reliable ect, but you will only really hear from people who've had a bad egg, not the hundreds who drive them everyday and have no complaints, but that's the same with any vehicle or caravan, whatever make you can get a bad un.
But as I said love ours, can't see us changing for many many years.
