  Free Lander / Compared to the rest - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Off-Roader - January 10 - 10:00 am

  Okay....Ive read allot of the BS people like to talk about and i thinks its pretty funny...Ive had this car since January 2002, and what can i say. I own 2 Landrovers including a new Range rover and an old defender 90...This car is a little expensive for whats its worth, considering a little more will buy u a Discovery...I tested this car in the mountains of vancouver and i have taken it to many ski trips. If you are even thinking of comparing this to a Jeep or even toyota, you are crazy...The off road capabilities on this car is amazing....if ur looking for onroad capabilities then go buy a minivan...

  Great Little SUV w/traction - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By redmiata2 - November 9 - 2:00 am

  Love this cars handling as I drive in the rain almost every day. Note: spare tire mounting does impact rear view visibility. Corners well, accelerates adequately.

  Love This Car - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Schully - October 16 - 10:00 am

  After reading the mixed reviews posted on this message board, I have to admit I was a little skeptical about the Freelander. However I didnt want to rule it out until I drove it. During the test drive I realized that the people leaving the bad reviews must never have driven one. The second I put the car in drive, I was in love. Ford, Mazda and Jeep should not even be in the same class. There is no way to fully explain it. All I have to say is drive one for your self. I just picked up my new one yesterday and I am very very pleased. The only negitive thing I can say is that I wish there were arm rests.

  Second Impressions - after one month... - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Chai2 - October 10 - 10:00 am

  Having driven just over 1,000 miles in a month I must say that our Freelander is a winner. It is without doubt the best handling SUV Ive driven, hugging the road like a BMW in tight turns. Its traction is superb in slick conditions. Weve been off-road a few times and our Freelander surprised every time with its electrifying performance. We improved upon the already excellent seat comfort by installing third-party armrest (found through the internet). We also installed full length roof rails further improving the already stylish look.

  Worst vehicle - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Keri - October 2 - 5:53 am

  This is by far the worst vehicle I ever owned. Landrover makes it next to impossible to have other shops do work on the vehicle. The price of their timing belt replacement on the freelander is $2000, this is insane. Four people in my family have owned landrovers and realized it was a terrible vehicle and some have gotten rid of them and others are trying to get rid of them. Take my advice, and never, never buy landrover products. I dont know how their still in business

  Couldnt Be Happier - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Brad S. - September 3 - 10:00 am

  This is a fantastic vehicle. Do not buy another small SUV without driving one! We drove the Liberty, Escape, Tribute, Xterra and nothing else came close for ride comfort, handling, fit and finish, among others. Weve put only 1100 miles on it so far, but they have been trouble-free and an absolute joy.

  mad in Texas - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By madin TX - July 30 - 12:30 am

  I loved my Freelander until my first experience with the Rover dealership. I paid over $300 for the 45,000 miles checkup.They told me there was nothing wrong with the transmission. Now that I am out of warranty at 50,000 miles I am having problems. I called them and told them that my brake lights just stopped working and I have to go out of town and I needed to get them fixed asap. They told me it would cost me $125.00 and they could not get to it for four days! My husband paid $17.83 for the brake light swtich and fixed it in less than five minutes.

  I expected more from a Land Rover - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By HutchNY - July 29 - 12:33 pm

  I drive a lot on the road, and live on a farm. It is a tough little car and Im not afraid to take it off-road from time to time. It does hold up to the rigors of off roading quite well, but there are too many little squeaks that i cant get rid of. Great stereo and the seats are comfortable. My biggest gripe is that i have to go to the dealer for oil changes. No one else carries the filters.
