  Im buying American! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By uscarbuyer - January 12 - 4:03 pm

  My Land Rover owned me. I have never owned a vehicle that required so much maintenance. I have never off-roaded in my Land Rover, nor have I had a fender bender or accident. I purely drive on the pavement to and from work, and in town driving to the movies, dinner, etc. My car is a southern car and has only seen snow for two weeks in the almost 5 years it has owned me. I cannot recommend buying any Land Rover! Anything that goes wrong you are told it is the "British design". Brakes and batteries are expected to last 10-20K miles. I cannot remember the number of recall notices, too many to count. At times the windows wont power down. I thought I would enjoy the durability. Nope. All of the cap covers & compartment covers fall off. My drink holder spring fell out for no apparent reason. I am not tough on my car & it is literally falling apart. I will find plastic pieces on the floor & have no idea where they came from. Im buying American!

  Freelander-Best in my Experience - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By LRMOM - January 11 - 10:00 am

  I have owned/driven "SUVs" for 23 years (Blazer-K5, Jeep-Cherokee, Pathfinder), but the Freelander clearly performs above the rest for handling, pure utility, and fun to drive. After 20,000 miles, not one mechanical issue. The cargo room is small, but will suffice for runs to the hardware, hauling one piece of furniture, or a trip for four who pack light. I would buy this car again without question.

  Sell before warranty ends! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By alesha1 - November 19 - 11:23 pm

  I liked my car. But the brakes go out a lot. Antenna definitely not in a good location, was ripped off by a tree. Its kinda loud, when you drive. As soon as the warranty expired at 50,000 within a month I needed a new g filter $500 Landrover would do nothing. And now at 70,000 I was loosing coolant car will not start. Apparantly like everyone else I need an engine. I called Landrover the day it would not start, they acted like they had no clue why. Once I got on here I know they know whats wrong with it they are just trying to get me to tow it there so they can charge me an arm and a leg to fix it.

  DISAPPOINTED BUYER - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By KRISTY - October 6 - 10:00 am

  I BOUGHT MY FREELANDER IN FEB. 2003 WITH 5 MILES ON IT. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP FOR THE MIRRORS FLAKING, ASH TRAY BROKE (TOOK 4 TIMES TO GET THAT RIGHT), WINDSHIELD WAS DEFECTIVE, SUNROOF HAS BROKEN TWICE (ONCE ON EACH SIDE), FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE, BACK PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR ALSO BROKE, AND THE MAIN COMPLAINT I HAVE IS THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER IS SO LOUD ON HIGH SPEED THAT YOU CANT HEAR OTHER PEOPLE TALKING IN THE CAR AND IT DOES NOT COOL EFFICIENTLY.

  Worst purchase ever - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By cb - September 20 - 10:26 am

  I bought my LR used with 40000 miles & thank God I bought the extended warranty! It was in the shop 18 times in 16 months-1 time it sat there for 6 months waiting for an engine that cost me 15,000 dollars! Coolant leaks coils going out window motors broken. At 44,000 miles new engine-I waited 6 mos for that one. 5 months later same problem- I needed another new engine! Out of my 18 trips to the dealer 15 were the same engine problems. The dealer bought it back as a lemon. Oh yeah-it was towed 7 of the 18 times because it didnt run. Never again will I buy a LR. Buyer beware-you will have problems!

  Dont walk, run away - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Mark - March 31 - 7:53 pm

  We owned this vehicle for approximately 20 months. Total cost of repairs exceeded $16,000.00. No kidding. The engine has inherent design flaws. The cylinder sleeves will fail, coolant will flow into the block, your motor will be shot. You will experience electrical failures right and left. This is the second and last product we will buy from Land Rover and Range Rover. Utterly worthless vehicles. Our Discovery was only marginally better. Gulps fuel as well.

  The little Rover - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By biz816 - March 18 - 3:10 am

  It has never broke down on me yet, but I have been to the dealer for a lot of little stuff (engine lights, window, wipers, speakers). Overall I love the car it drives great, and looks amazing. I cant complain about the problems I have had, since I have driven hard in the past 3.5 years. I love the Rover line and plan to buy again another rover soon.
