Superstylin - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By tifso - July 23 - 10:00 amI have had "Froggie" for four months now and I absolutely LOVE this SUV. I love the Monaco blue color, the handling, the solid feel of everything, the fact that I am the only one in town with a blue SE3. The experience at the dealership was world class - I was taken care of 100% and now feel like part of an elite club. One day I hope to go in to buy a Range Rover, either way, Im sticking with this brand. But what the hell are they thinking with Ford taurus window switches on the 2004 Freelander SE?

Think Twice - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By Kross98 - June 16 - 9:20 pmI thought buying a Land Rover would mean minimal problems but this vehicle has given me more headaches than any vehicle Ive ever owned. Bought it used in 04 and have had it in the shop at least 10 times since. Mostly mechanical problems such as window malfunctions, door locks, etc. Have problems with it starting on occasion but LR says they cant find a problem. Very disappointed with the reliability of this SUV and usually disappointed with the customer service as well. Think twice before buying this vehicle.

Winner of Our 10-Vehicle Drive-Off! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By j!m - May 17 - 10:00 amWe spent a month researching the 17 vehicles in this category, and test- drove 10in a multi-round drive-off; this one had the best balance of on- and off-road capability, and ultimately, off-road performance was the decider. Traction Control, in particular, has already carried us through five spots where other vehicles without it got stuck. Dealer-sponsored outings are great, and we held our own with ~20 Discoverys on medium-rated trails with rocks, steep grades, water crossings, and soft sand; most of all, the Freelander is FUN, FUN, FUN to drive!

Dont buy - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By jin - May 8 - 10:00 amThis vehicle has nothing but problems since day one. The extended warranty helped but the car has been a money pit. It is in the shop every two months, engine light is always on, this time the time belts had to be changed at 46,000 miles. Electrical problems abound, Fuel economy is terrible, interior design is a joke and as stated reliability is very poor. It has cost more to maintain this vehicle that what it cost to buy.

Freelander winning our hearts... - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By Morvac - April 20 - 10:46 amWe was looking for a small SUV for my wife (Ford Escape/Explorer) but came away with this and couldnt be happier. Weve put a few miles on it now and have came away impressed. It took awhile to get used to the non- traditional interior placement of items. Driving is impressive, road conditions do not matter and it inspires confidence youre going to get to wherever youre going. We average 20.1 MPG which isnt bad since Im used to 17 with my Explorer. Plus the 4 yr/50k mile warranty is nice. All in all we would buy again. We plan to use it 98% on pavment; the rest maybe for camping, fall foliage or something - nothing hard core.

Not much "Free"Lander-ing - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By Ms Meliss - March 24 - 9:56 pmThis SUV is beautiful inside & out...looks can be very deceiving! This vehicle is FUN to drive, & being a Mom it has lots of spots to store stuff. My fondness is most relevant in its ease of all vantage points while driving (No blind spots!) The down side has been since my purchase I have had to replace my brakes twice, averaging every 16,000 miles! Although covered under warranty, I had to replace the fuel pump, had the car towed to the dealership, upon pick-up, I was horrified to find that my SUV had sustained body damage while at the dealership! Currently, it has overheated three times! After reading previous reviews, and escalating fuel costs, Im TOTALLY convinced on a Hybrid!

Still love it. - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By OrangeSE3 - March 10 - 10:46 pmI purchased mine used in 2004. Did have a coolant/oil issue. Land Rover replaced the engine under original manufacturers warranty and Ive not had an issue since. I average around 22 MPG. Its a great vehicle and fun to drive. Handles amazing in the snow.

Upper Class Compact SUV - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By Rover723 - February 25 - 2:00 amAlthough the Freelander is compared with the Honda and Rav4, I dont think it should be. After riding all three, the Freelander feel much more solid and designed for much more aggressive off road experiences while really giving off a "European" feel while on the black top. Weighing in at 4500lbs due to all the steel reinforcements, it can use a little more HP, but it still has a little punch accelerating. The interior is all business but still has a conservative upper class feel. All in all the 2003 model gives much more SUV than others in its class and brings with it the prestige of Land Rover.

Yes - sadly I join the masses - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By s white - February 22 - 8:06 pmToday I join the mass of disappointed Freelander owners as I became victim too, of the mysterious disappearing coolant. Well, not so mysterious. Yes - Land Rover of Harrisburg called, the car they sold to me just a little over 2 1/2 years ago -JUNK! I was told I was actually lucky I made it to 110,000 before the engine went. Yes - Land Rover of America told me they had no knowledge of any problem with the engines. Guess employees there are blocked from using Google. Cant get most parts. We were trying to find a rear windshield wiper and rear window motor. Now we know - Land Rover has cut off all ties to the Freelander including parts support. DONT BUY. SELL QUICK!
