  impressive.. but .... - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By kate - December 17 - 2:00 am

  Ive been happy with the vehicle itself but unhappy with the quality and speed of the American servicing ...they dont seem to know what theyre doing and it is the consumer that has to foot the bill for their R&D

  Great car....pick carefully - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By dli6990 - November 19 - 3:16 am

  I love my Freelander, my favourite thing is that its very rare. I had read about thousands and thousands of complains out there, but mine had none of them. Is not the most reliable car on earth but I love living with it. My advice is that pick a good one if you ever want to buy one, pay careful attiontion to every thing when you test drive. After you got it, check under the hood often and dun let any liquid in run below the "min" line(definitely dun let it run dry). I think most major problem are caused by not paying attention to your car, and the service the car as soon as the service is up.

  good car - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By strmman - November 19 - 2:00 am

  Love the car but it is underpowered, not fast, sucks gas like a v8. The lowest model has bad fabric seats and maintenance is quite expensive. The dealer is exceptional though and I will consider trading up to a Discovery S next time.

  My Review - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By William Eve - November 13 - 2:00 am

  An excellent small SUV. Land Rover treats you like royalty even after you buy it the vehicle. Fun to drive, great handling. We have a 6 year old and can usually store all the items needed for a trip. I highly recommend this SUV in the small class. The certified used program makes them affordable too. The gas mileage is decent as well. Using synthetic oil is a bit pricey but it does increase engine life.

  Fun to drive - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By joe - August 30 - 3:23 pm

  Great car unfortunately you better have the wallet to pay for the costly and often repairs. 550 dollars air sensor went out that helps determine the amount of air to let into the engine. This caused the SUV to be unable to even start. Was very fun to drive and turned a lot of heads at my high school. Due to bad weather and my inexperience as a driver it was totaled in a high speed rollover. Very safe car however I walked off with zero injuries and the car held its frame perfectly! Its high mileage and broken axle/wheel rods ended up making it cheaper to totaled. Fun car though

  Great vehicle/Dealer service - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Booth - August 14 - 10:00 am

  My wife and I bought this vehicle 1.5 years ago and have had no issues with it so far. Power is adequate, build quality is fine. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for something a little different, Liberty, Escape and RAV4 are on every street corner. Dealer service/buying experience is unmatched, truly top- notch. No pressure, when-are-you-going to buy phone calls. 4x/year off-road events, strong commitment to continued customer relations.

  Beware of the small gas tank. SUV with a 15 gallon tank.

  Ready for some fun - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By allhu - May 7 - 2:00 am

  I have owned this vehicle for 5 months and 4000mi. and have no reliablity problems to report. This vehicle is really fun to drive on paved surfaces which is unique because it awesome in a light duty off road roll as well. I recently took it to a local off road park with my wife and we had a blast. The little monster climbed and descended 40% grades. Its really fun all four wheels engage. We were surounded by dedicated off road vehicles (not street legal)and although we did not attempt some of the punishing obstacles they did (self preservation), Im sure we could have given them a run for the money if we had too.

  Be careful!!! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By GAM - April 9 - 10:00 am

  I have 7,000 miles on a 04 HSE and since I bought it there have been whining noises not heard on other Freelanders i have driven. Land Rovers Regional representatives reply..."the noises are to acceptable standards." My answer...Lemon Law. It is a fine ride. the loaner I am returning right now is superb in handling and ride however mine is not so test drive whatever FL you plan on buying for at least 2 days, and drive it at 70MPH to make sure you do not land up as I have. Also visit the "Freelander Living" web site for more info about potential problems.

  Sonnys review - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Sonny L - April 2 - 10:00 am

  Starts without any hesitation. Firm but solid ride and able to keep up with traffic during interstate driving. The Freelander handles extremely well in bad weather and poor driving conditions. A/C could be improved - it takes a while for the interior to cool.
