  First 5 Months - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By CJR1977 - November 8 - 2:00 am

  I have found the Freelander to be extremely reliable in adverse weather, namely heavy rains, ice and deep snow. It maintains excellent traction and remains responsive in less than ideal conditions. Interior design is highly functional, and appealing to the eye. A pleasure to drive!

  Fun, Practical and Safe - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By rigoberto gutierrez - October 21 - 2:00 am

  On-road and Off-road, Its Impressive.My wife and two children love it too. We do everything and go every where, whatever the weather or the terrain. Smooth ride, low center of gravity makes corner and u-turn smoothly. I recommend it highly.

  What are the complaints about? - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Jaybird - October 16 - 5:50 am

  I have had this vehicle for about a month now and am very impressed with it. I am averaging 23 mpg and no mechanical problems. I have read many negative reviews about this vehicle and have figured out why. First, this is not a sports car. I can see why people have to have engines replaced. The engine requires synthetic oil only. It has enough power to do the job but can see people flooring it all the time because it "just isnt enough" and that takes it toll on an engine, as is also true for the transmission. The brakes are disc- front/drum back so you cannot stand on the brakes all the time and not expect to replace pads very often. Its a luxury SUV treat it good, it will reciprocate.

  My second Freelander - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By Brocktoon - September 26 - 10:06 pm

  I traded my 2003 Freelander in on a new 2005 last month. Going with the Freelanders is the best decision I ever made when it comes to cars. Why are there so many freelander complainers? Who knows, but its the best selling truck in Europe, and they cant be all wrong. The 2005 is a definite improvement over the 03 in terms of looks and comfort. Dont listen to people who say this is not a capable car, I had the 03 in mud up to the doorhandles and we made it out fine. Try that in any other SUV for the price. If you are considering purchase, yes they do require some "care and feeding", but check out some web enthusiast sites first and get the real story.

  Freelander solved a major problem! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Davey - September 25 - 10:00 am

  I just brought a freeland and think it rocks! The Nissan Exterra is TOTAL CRAP compared to this! Also, Land Rover solved a major problem that I had! Most 4x4s you have to shift into 4 wheel drive mode. When you do not use it much the gera get dried out and it stops working right! With this it is full time 4 wheel drive and thus the above problem is sloved!

  2004 Freelander-A Must Have - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Lrover1 - August 15 - 2:00 am

  Ive traveled in Europe quite often, and noticed Freelanders on almost every corner. I decided to test out the European best seller and was quite impressed. Land Rover did a great job with its 04 design. It is very impressive off-road!

  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.

  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.

  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.
