  • Better than they say it will be... - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    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

    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.

  • A real off road vehicle - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    Like most SUV buyers we purchased this vehicle as a daily driver. That was until Land Rover invited us to a free off-road school. In case you didnt already know, buying a Land Rover makes you a member of their club. After a full day of driving the off road vehicle park in Hollister, CA we came to the conclusion that the Freelander is not a car nor a truck but a real 4x4 off road vehicle. Without any prior off road experience our group drove our stock Freelanders over black diamond trails with minimal coaching from our instructors. Even veteran off-roaders stopped and got out there cameras as we traversed some extreme terrain. Best quote of the day: "WOW!"

    The moment I steped into this SUV I could feel its quality. The test drive impressed me even more with the cars handling and steering beating all of its competetors. A MUST SEE.

  • Great Choice!!! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    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 -

    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!

    The professional attitude of the Land Rover Centre. No problems with the auto so far.

  • Silver Freelander SE - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    Engineering "work-of-art". Quality build, exceeds my expectations in every area. Exceedingly good ride and handling. Excellent off road traction. Bigger than it looks though lacks large cargo area. Will likely stick with a Land Rover product. Highly Recommended!

  • Great Vehicle - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    Purchased 02 Freelander SE new, I drove it the first year, then gave it to my 16 yr old son and bought an 04 Discovery HSE. No mechanical problems whatsoever. Over last 28,000 mi composite average of 22mpg with 26 on road. Dealer provides a loaner free of charge and sends a runner over 90 mi each way to pickup/deliver it for service. Couldnt ask for better dealership. Only expense has been brakes at 24k. Vehicle runs/looks like new even after a 16yo boy driving it for the last year. Would recommend it to anyone, I plan on buying an 05 SE3 for my daughter this spring. What more can I say?

  • Best in class by far! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    Ive read Automobile Magazines review calling it best in class and Ive also read that cynical guys review from the New York Times knocking it to pieces. Ill tell you first hand that this is by far the best vehicle in its class! From the awesome Land Rover looks and status to its BMW like perfomance, for the money, you cant beat it. This guy from the New York Times must have mistaken it for a RAV 4 or something because this Mini-SUV rocks. And once you fall in love with it on road you then take it off road and you cant even compare it to anything else in its class because nothing else can do these things! You have to drive it to understand.
