  I LOVE my freelander - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By cross-country - March 8 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my Freelander in May of 2003 and have driven from the East coast to the West coast and back again, stuffed full of possessions and a very drooly dog. I found that it had everything I needed to deal with the mountains, the desert, and the cross- country trip. I also find it to be quite efficient around town. It is lythe enough to handle Los Angeles traffic at rush hour, while being sturdy enough to deal with big rigs on the interstate.

  Fun Car but reliability? - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Adam The Ant - December 30 - 2:00 am

  Great Suv for playing hard! But the reliability of the Suv leaves a lot to be desired. In my first year alone a new transmission and 2 oil leaks expected to be the main seal but dealer will not say exactly what it is.

  Money Pit - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By bethannsw - December 11 - 12:03 pm

  This car is a money pit. Bought it as the only car for our family of 4. Fabulous in snow, but bad for your wallet. $3000 to repair massive coolant leaks, new fuel pump, ball bearing (??) needs replaced amongst other things. Check engine light is on and vehicle is shaking and barely running. Ive only had it 2 yrs and it has 70K miles on it. There should be a large law suit filed against Land Rover for this vehicle as it seems to have the same problems and even the Land Rover dealerships tell you its a horrible car. Shame on you Land Rover!

  awesome first car experience - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By beetlejuiceplz - November 4 - 11:00 am

  i bought my se3 at 34,000 miles as my first car in 2007. after recently selling the car, i now realize how lucky i was to have such a reliable car. the only time i had to take the car in during the 4 years i owned it was to get the get the oil changed (which is expensive because it will only accept synthetic oil barf). towards the end of my relationship with the car however (aprox. 74,000 miles), engine lights began coming on due to an ABS sensor which costs $540 dollars for just the part itself! I also have read that these cars dont usually last much longer after 100,000 miles. my suggestion is to obviously buy this car with low miles in order to have an awesome car experience.

  Freelander S - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By JoeHD7 - September 24 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle cries out for a 5 speed. The engine has limited gearing and is not fast off the line but likes to go in the 60-80 mph range. Gas mileage is in the low 20s, not really great for this size vehicle. The Freelander feels tight and handles well in the rain/snow/ice of Western new York

  Freelander Lover - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By JSD - August 18 - 2:00 am

  Just bought this great little SUV. We did lots of comparison shopping and found this to be a really great value - my husband was able to use his Ford X plan on this SUV. We are a family of 4 and thought we were sacrificing cargo space when we bought this vehicle. However, I was pleasantly surprised when we started filling up the back. There is a lot more room than you think. The cabin area is very roomy and comfortable. The ride is very smooth and, so far, it gets good gas mileage. Would highly recommend this SUV! The dealership we went through was a very pleasant experience too!

  Not a good choice! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Mandana - August 6 - 10:00 am

  I have had the car for 11 months and it had to be taken in 5 times with various warranty issues. The front window raddles, the airconditioning unit control is not accurate, the car died on the road during the 2nd month of purchase. in 11 months, it cost me $650 on break change...It is by far the worse car I have ever had.

  SUV that Leaks Water!!! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Joe Muratore - April 6 - 10:00 am

  Weve had our Freelander in the shop more than on the road! It took 4 tries to get the radio to work and were on our 6th trip to get the roof from leaking - dealer cant find the problem. Weve been told by friends to start the "lemon law" but we dont want to wait out the process. Although the dealership has been nice, they havent been honest or competent!

  Fun Yet Parctical Car - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Hanaburgh - March 19 - 2:00 am

  I have had this car for well over a year and have not once regretted my decision. After test-driving numerous all wheel drive vehicles, the superb on- road handling and true off-road capability convinced me that the Freelander was really the best of both worlds. It is fun to drive, reasonably economical (especially for an SUV), and mine has not yet gotten stuck in mud or snow. Most importantly, it handles the Maine winters with ease, even when the plows are too busy keeping up with the major roads to bother with my sparsely populated neck of the woods.
