  Excellence from Land Rover - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By LandRoverLuvr - January 6 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle is best value in my opinion, for this class. Its easy and fun to drive, lots of creature comforts and is built to last. The only time it has been in the shop has been for regularly scheduled maintenance. A little more storage room would be nice but, overall, its tops in my book.

  Good for what it is - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Mike - January 1 - 3:20 pm

  I purchased the SE3 for my wife about a year ago. So far we have not had any real problems. The front brakes had a dragging problem but the dealership corrected the problem. The detachable top is great, my wife loves stripping it down for the carolina summer. The traction control works GREAT in snow and ice, we go to the mountains on the weekends and the freelander goes through the snow as well as my truck (and that is saying something). The interior is easy to clean and works well with the jeep like feel. All in all a great car for the wife and a fun car to drive.

  Great 4x4 - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Roverman - November 19 - 2:00 am

  No compromise vehicle on and off road. Drives like a BMW on the road and goes everywhere my Jeep Wrangler did. What else do you want in a small SUV. Plus it has some originality.

  My First Land Rover - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Peter S. - November 7 - 10:00 am

  So far this vehicle is great to drive, especially around crowded NYC streets. Parallel parking is a breeze! On the highway, Freelander has decent acceleration for passing or merging into traffic. Interior space is adequate for this class of SUV. Lots of headroom and its rear legroom is bigger than Libertys and RAV4. For those who wants cargo space in their SUV, well, I think Freelander might not be what your are looking for.

  A Nightmare in Sheeps Clothing - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Dale Booth - October 4 - 8:30 pm

  Well, Where do I start - Land Rover ought to really be ashamed of the product they built. This engine design is a total joke. I had my Freelander approx. 1 year before I had to trade it in. The problem was with a leak of the engine coolant into the engine. This slow leak was unrepairable. The only TEMPORARY solution was a new engine for a cost of $10K, according to Land Rover-Jaguar of Houston. I had them put the SUV back together and drove it to the nearest TOYOTA dealership where I traded it for a 2005 Toyota 4Runner. It has been happy driving ever since. MY ADVICE TO ANYONE THINKING ABOUT PURCHASING A NEW OR USED LAND ROVER. DONT DO IT; UNLESS YOU HAVE MONEY FOR REPAIRS.

  Great Choice!!! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By firstimebuyer - September 29 - 10:00 am

  This is the first car that I have bought myself, and I am very impressed. I was looking at a lot of other SUVs and almost bought a Pathfinder, until I saw the Freelander. The difference in the handeling and smoothness of the ride separates this vehicle from all the others in its class. And of course, you cant go wrong with a Land Rover, even one thats affordable!! I reccommend that anyone who is interested in buying or leasing an SUV take the Freelander for a ride, you will be very glad you did.

  Our Favorite - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Dr. Joy - August 26 - 2:00 am

  We were first going to buy a Honda CRV and thought that we should try on a newly released vehicle before our final decision. Our decision was easily made to buy the Freelander in February 2002 instead, after test-driving it with respect to the ride, the look, and comfort. We have had only a couple electrical problems with the seatbelt light (1st year) and check engine (2nd year, due to cruise control) signs, but the dealer fixed them rapidly. The service from the dealer is exceptional. We have driven different car makes/models and remain our conclusion that the Freelander is the best!

  Great SUV - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By salamander - August 9 - 10:00 am

  I like the looks, the way it handles. It really turns heads as it zips thru traffic. BTW is the heated windsheild a standard option on the SE.?

  A Rose among the Lemons? - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By Karen C - July 15 - 11:20 pm

  I bought my Freelander even after reading the less than stellar reviews I found on the internet. Now I wonder if people were trying to hide something - I LOVE THIS CAR! The handling is superb, the leather interior, heated mirrors and seats, and awesome stereo system (6 cd changer) make it a dream to drive. Im getting ~22 miles to a gallon - way more than posted by others. My only beef (and its a small one) is that I wish it had a little better pickup when pulling out. But at highway speeds it cant be topped, and Ive easily avoided several dicey situations with its fast, accurate response. Buy one!
