  Freeloser - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By harndt - November 11 - 7:36 am

  What was Land Rover thinking?! I have replaced the engine, transmission, heater core, thermostat, exhaust plenum, rear window actuator (twice) and have had my car in the shop longer than Ive been able to drive it! Land Rover will not take responsibility for this mistake of a vehicle. I was told the engine broke because the valves bent. They built the engine with "Interference valves" meaning they do interfere. If they are slightly off, the pistons will smash into them, causing them to brake- causing you to need a new engine. I only have 60,000 miles on mine and have spen more repairing it than I owe on it. Does anyone know of any class action lawsuits? Because I am on board.

  Great to drive, for 2 only though - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By johnmpc94 - November 2 - 2:40 pm

  Bought this SUV used, and have had no problems yet. Vehicle was recalled once, and we spent 1hr 30mins at the dealer, then left with the entire vehicle smelling like gas. Fast for a 2.5L V6, handles like a go-cart, and comfortable for the driver. Passengers in the back seat suffer. Seats at near 90 degree angles, and are hard as concrete. Not good for people who grocery-shop with the family, as the cargo area doesnt have enough room for two weeks worth of meals. Ive noticed lately that the back hatch is having trouble as well. When closed, the back glass doesnt go up correctly. Only thing wrong with it is the back left power window, which hasnt worked since we bought it. Otherwise great.

  My nightmare is over - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By That was a nightmare - October 18 - 12:23 pm

  Here is what you need to know about the Freelander. It is different from all other Land Rovers and you cant get it serviced anywhere but the dealership. Shops that advertised they worked on Land Rover would not work on my Freelander. They dont make engines for them anymore. It cost me $400 to get a window fixed that was stuck down. I traded it in for $7,000, bought a Hyundai, and literally cried with relief to be done with this vehicle. Land Rover to Hyundai and never been happier. Please do not purchase this vehicle. No power, terrible gas mileage, terrible and expensive service. Be smarter than I was.

  Nothing but trouble - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By hhr1owner - October 17 - 4:43 am

  I bought this SUV with 60k miles and now its got 65K and I had spend over 3k in repairs. The timing belts and all the components on the front of the engine. Now the fuel pump which is going to be over a thousand. It has been nothing but expensive. I wouldnt suggest this vehicle at all. Unless you got the time and money to keep in the shop. I am selling right after the fuel issue is fixed.

  This car is awesome. It drives very smoothly and is relatively quiet. It handles like an SUV but corners like a car. I LOVE IT!

  Land Rover Freelander - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By junehhan - October 3 - 2:00 am

  This is clearly a great vehicle from Land Rover. While it may not have the offroading ability of the Discovery, or the Range Rover, its incredibly and surprisingly capable offroad. An entire day spent at the Paragon Offroad Park proved that this vehicle is in every step a Land Rover. Its just too bad that my Freelander spends most of its time getting repaired at the Centre because Land Rover couldnt make a reliable vehicle.

  HSE is Having Superior Enjoyment ! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By HSE Owner - September 27 - 10:00 am

  I bought this Land Rover from Dimmitt in Clearwater on 5/15/03. Great dealer. John the salesman is excellent. I went from a Ford Harley F150 to this so I lost some features I was used to (not to mention power) that should be on this SUV for its price tag. Such as auto lights, keyless entry and a better sound system (Harmon Kardon is not very good despite what people think). However, I love this and dont miss my truck at all. It is a little small (Im 61) but still comfortable. People complain about the power but I thinks it pretty quick. It does shift a bit hard.

  My Freelander - 2002 Land Rover Freelander

  The best car buying experience I have ever had. Even servicing the car is enjoyable. Major kudos for having such a professional and pleasant network of dealerships and employees.
