Advantages: practicality,looks,td4 engine,electric rear window Disadvantages: lack of 6th gear,needs a bit more go
ultra practical vehicle esp if you have a large German shepherd and a mentalist spaniel to cart around with you too!
everything inside is wipe clean and the face lift interior is smart looking and durable too.the manual sunroof is handy although the clips to close it rattle a little.(a little oil helps tho)the air con is very strong cools the cab a treat.it should be noted that climate control isn't available on the freelander 1,just manual air con which doesn't particularly bother me.
i like the sport spec as the exterior looks very nice with the big 18 wheels and the handling is surprising good.the suspension is lowered by 30 % on the sport so it corners very well with very little body roll. and a good if not an excellent ride...more than acceptable.
the td4 engine is smooth once warmed up (gravelly when cold ...
Advantages: Fast and powerfall machine Disadvantages: the fan is not in a place so you can put it on your lap
let me just say i love this machine
i run mine on xp pro and upgraded the memary to 512mb
and to be honist it will still compeat in power with a machine
sold today there is just one problem
the fan is placed on the bottom of the macine just where you leg would be if you put it on your lap and it can get quite hot
but for this machines raw speed you can forgive it
with its 2.6gb ht prosseser {yes HT} and gforce 5100 FX {pixal shader 2} grahics i got a 3dmark 2001 score of between 4800 to 5600 even thoth the grahics card has only 32mb it seem to run more like a dream of 128mb
i know you can get faster machines now but just to point out that this came out in 2004 you can see how powerfall this beast of a machice is and also the fact it it qute upgradable it used a socket 478 with a fsb of 800 {desktop ??} add more ...
Just got back from St Anton last week and what can I say! - It's incredible. An afternoon isn't a proper afternoon without a visit to the Mooserwirt bar/restaurant about a 2 minute ski from the bottom. At about 4:30 they turn up the music and start playing cheesy dance versions of all the classic hits like Do Wah Diddy and Hey Baby. This is tho..the whole thing works. With the drinks flowing at the constant stream of music that anyone can sing-along to its a fantastic place to go!
On the skiing side of things st Anton has a lot to offer. There's a vast ski area which operates with a very clever lift pass. You just leave it in your pocket and it reads it as you pass through. Neat huh?! It also gives you access to the resorts of Zurs and Lech which are only a few miles away! ...
