  By Suresh - April 14 - 10:00 am

  Works for me - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By not grumpy - March 23 - 10:56 am

  I bought because of the label, have not been disappointed so far. Used even! Wanted something safe on the road for wife and new baby. hadnt read all the bad things about the vehicle. So far (2+years) nothing bad to report! I like it, drives good, sunroof is making noise looks and I still got lots of time and miles on my extended warranty.

  Better than they say it will be... - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Brocktoon - March 15 - 2:00 am

  This is a unique, solid and great handling car. Auto press complains about lack of rear disc brakes. Who cares, it stops shorter than a liberty, rav4 ect.I have driven 500 miles on ice and snow covered secondary higways and the full time all wheel drive with traction control is a real bonus. I had a Jeep Grand Chrerokee previously, and they are nowhere near as good in changable/mixed conditions, where you need the safety of all wheel drive. Also prees complains about lack of power. Seems to me that the accelerator in this car has a pretty long travel, so it requires more "boot" than might be expected. Figure that out and the pace picks up considerably.

  the best vehicle ever owned or driven - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By esaias - February 24 - 2:00 am

  the freelander is extremely capable off road. I took it to a ladrover "wheels" offroad event and it was extemely impressive. I driven a lot of vehicles and few have impressed me as much as the freelander with its off-road capability.

  Great Looks Are Not Everything - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Amanda Jean - February 7 - 10:00 am

  I bought a Land Rover because I thought if I was going to own an SUV it should be the best. Well, as far as looks it is better than any other small suv out there. As far as reliability, not so good. I bought my truck in may 2003 and have had it to the dealership for faulty electrical 3 times!! I know cant unlock or lock my doors and the dealership wont look at my car for a week!! Gas is also unreal. Though the truck is a headache I love to look at it in the driveway.

  This SUV made me sad - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By My dream SUV - February 5 - 10:00 am

  Land Rover Freelander 2002 was my dream SUV but I had sad news about this car. After 8 months and 60000 miles I had to replace the fuel pump and head gasket. Not mechanics were available to fix this vehicle, not guarantee. I had to pay $4,000.00 to fix this truck and I really was mentally affected for all the problems that this truck gave to me. I not recommend this truck to anybody. I had to give this in trading. Then, I received a letter from Land Rover about a recall part but I didnt have the freelander on my own. But, I had the all receipts, the answer from Land Rover was that if I dont have the truck with me I can not going to receive refund for all that I paid.

  Do not waste your money on a Freelander! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Jennifer - January 10 - 5:50 pm

  I am the owner of a 2002 s Freelander. I have had nothing but problems. We had to have the windshield replaced, the passenger window fixed and just recently needed the transmission replaced. We are lucky for the fact that we purchased the extended warranty. Our dealership has also been terrible to deal with. If you do purchase a freelander, please buy the extended warranty, trust me you will need it.

  2002 Land Rover Freelander - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By J. - December 3 - 10:20 pm

  I purchased this used about 1yr 1/2 ago.Its been nothing but trouble.To start the back window wont roll up,the sun roof wont roll down,the heater went out,the A/C does not work.I have put over $1000 into this vehicle in the past year on top of car payments and have another $2000 to put into it to be able to trade in for a reliable vehicle,not a Land Rover.This truck has depreciated in value $3000 in 4 months. So all in all I lost $6000 by owning this vehicle for a little over 1yr. There was a recall on the brake lights,this truck should be recalled all together.My mechanic advised me to get rid of it asap.Im trading it in and taking the loss so I dont face another $6000 loss next year.

  Roving the Rockies - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By AL Lan Madrogoran - November 24 - 2:00 am

  The Land Rover Freelander is a great deal for the money. I would like a little more power especially for the gas miliage.

  First Impressions - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Chai - October 31 - 10:00 am

  My wife and I happened upon the Freelander in the 2002 Vancouver Auto Show. The deal clincher occured when we test- drove through a demanding off-road track - it blew the other mini-SUV competition (RAV4, CRV, Escape) away. Then the on-road handling was also extremely impressive, hugging the road on fairly tight turns (although not as good as the Audi A4 or BMW 325i but better than the mini-SUV competition). The ride is quiet and very comfortable. We did ourselves a favour and got the wood trim, which greatly improved the appearence of the dash. More detailed review after driving it for a month.
