  Lives up to its price tag - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Cwright - August 12 - 7:56 pm

  Although it is a little expensive compared to its competitors, the Land Rover Freelander deserves its price tag. It is very well built and like no other 4x4 out there.

  Nothing but problems - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Nothing but problems - August 5 - 6:13 pm

  As soon as my 50,000 mile warranty was up, so was my suv. At 63,000 miles I needed a new engine due to a crack in the block that was causing coolant to leak into the engine. I picked it up from the shop about a month ago and my heater core and heater motor now need replacing at 65,000. Unfortunately, I cant get rid of a car that doesnt run and that the heater core smokes so Im forced to fix it.

  2002 Landrover Freelander - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Kate - July 30 - 9:03 pm

  Its sad to say I must agree with all the negative reviews written. This by no means was the worst vehicle I had ever owned. Within the first few months the sunroof went 3 times, after the 3rd time landrover replaced it, but the new one had issues too. I stopped using the sunroof. The driver side rear window broke 3 times. After the 4th year of owning this vehicle hugh mechanical disasters, and finally the engine went, transmission started slipping and the diffrentials went. I would never reccommend landrover products to anyone, waste of money and time. Landrover should pay the customers to driver the vehicle.

  Finally! An SE3! - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By SE3 - July 15 - 2:23 am

  The reason why I purchased this 2 door convertible SUV was because I didn’t need a large vehicle since it’s just me and I wanted something that you dont see everyday. For the year 2005, they only produced 234 of these SE3 Freelanders! I also got this one because it had 1600 miles and an extended warranty till 2012. The cool thing is that the back can be removed and the sunroof glass panels can come off entirely for a really open air feeling. It is true that a Jeep Wrangler can become more open air than the SE3 but they are a dime a dozen. It looks very sporty and it gets lots of stares. It even goes off road fairly well although it is restricted on certain terrain due to no low range gear.

  Fun little rover! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Roverdude - July 4 - 2:00 am

  This is my second rover and Im loving it. Handling, handling, handling! Im continually amazed at how fast I can whip this rover around the corners. The steptronic tranny helps to get the most power out of the V6 as well. Interior is a nice combo of rugged yet comfortable, and very practical overall. I recommend it to anyone pondering entering the land rover stable.

  Freelander Rules! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Kent Cys - July 2 - 10:00 am

  And the rules are: 1. Step up to the SE or HSE, especially the HSE for the sumptuous leather if you have the $$. 2. Make sure your SE comes with a Sunroof, Harmon Kardon stereo upgrade, and Heated Seats (All standard on HSE). 3. Dip your head and slide legs first across the front seats if you are taller than 58" -- Freelander has LRs standard Command Seating position. 4. Enjoy! Liberty and Escape V6 owners may dust you in a race. But bumps that make their vehicles shake like Strom Thurmond covered in fire ants will hardly affect Freelander.

  Solid Well Built Trouble Free - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By D. Brink - June 26 - 10:00 am

  Attention to detail. Under the hood of the Fords and chevys we looked at before buying the Freelander, I found that most of the electrical connectors had wires that were at almost 90 degrees to the conntection;as if the wire was too short. I also found some rather cheap feeling plastic interior molding. The Ford did not achor the back carpet firmly to the body either. The freelander had none of these types of short commings. Besides that the Roll down back window, heater windshield and side mirrors were just a couple of features for which I did not mind paying.

  Class Action Suit anyone?! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By AKfreelander - June 10 - 2:33 pm

  Bought the Freelander (FL) in 03, and, loved it. As you can see from the other reviews, great car when its not in the shop. Went to the dealership for all service, oil changes, etc. Six months ago, I started having overheating problems. Dealer changed out the coolant tank, etc. Kept having the problem over and over until two weeks ago when the car would not start. Towed it into the dealer, needs a new engine. $8400 estimate. Do the research! This car is a lemon. The engine will blow out ~65K, good luck talking to LR if you are out of warranty. Its a money black hole.
