Hi guys,
I realize that I have not yet introduced myself and apologize for that. I hope it is OK to write in english since my school german is not that good.
We purchased our Freemont in nov 12 and it is a Urban with the 140hp diesel and equipped with the DVD entertainment system which the kids love. We have four girls so we needed a bigger car. We also have a BMW 5-serie and for my pleasure I have a GT40 replica which I both enjoy on the street as well as on the track.
I am a true petrolhead and enjoys all cars and technical stuff as well. However I also like skiing, boating, travel, wine and food. I especially favour Italy and we spend a lot of time in Italy on our holidays. Before the Fiat we had an Alfa 156 which I really loved for its agility. The Freemont is another creature of course since our requirements has changed with the number of kids. However I must say it is very nice on the road for its size and the roll is very little for such vehicle. The first impression after this short period is very good. The comfort and roadholding is very good. I also like the steering since it communicates. The level of equipment is very high considering the price and it actually was a real bargain.
Of course there are some things that I do not like but they are no showstoppers. I will convert to HID since the lowbeam is not sufficient for my purposes. I have also invested in a extra rustproof protection since we intend to keep the car for quite a few years.
I am looking forward to follow and participate in the discussions on the forum.
All the best to you and Happy new year!
Henrik
