Would you change your Freelander for a Fiesta?

It's not a silly question. Motorists do these things.

Few motorists need 4x4 and when they do their road tyres can't plug into the mud. SUVs were very fashionable but small cars have been trendy since the 60s. You get gadgets with 4x4s but ABS and soon ESP will be standard in all cars. And you can get the same high spec in any class of car these days.

Small cars are easier to drive and park. They've become increasingly refined and flexible and importantly they have lower CO2 emissions. Obviously small cars cost less than SUVs to both buy and own.

But a trade from a SUV to a small car never seems to be motivated by money. It's a lifestyle choice - whatever that means.

So what's the difference between a Freelander and a Fiesta? How do they compare? I taken the data from my Land Rover Freelander Comparison and Ford Fiesta Comparison Charts on carbuyersinfo and published Ford Fiesta vs Freelander so you can see for yourself.
