  Too many whiners... - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Hippoman - November 24 - 5:03 am

  A number of people have had drivetrain problems with this truck but Ive had none. There are some things that could have been built with a little more quality just like about anything else on the market. This is a European vehice, not a Ford, GM, or anything else people expect to change the oil every 25K miles and run it to death. It takes a certain amount of care and maintenence. If you want to drive a LR its going to cost you no matter what model you buy. If you just want a sporty SUV to take your kids to school in, buy a Jeep.

  FREE THE FREELANDER - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By ideafixes - November 15 - 2:00 am

  the baby-land rover is definately FUN. Great to drive! the mileage is very good, handling is wonderful, the sound parallels the bose. It is fairly silent, purrs mostly. Seats could give more thigh support, back could be bigger and most IMPORTANT: it needs some serious side and curtain airbags. English ergonomics are fun, but not usual. Havent gotten it into snow, but it has gone in water pretty deep, with the New York rain. Nice inner city car. Long trips may be stressing due to lack of good seats.

  Fun, Practical and Safe - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By rigoberto gutierrez - October 21 - 2:00 am

  On-road and Off-road, Its Impressive.My wife and two children love it too. We do everything and go every where, whatever the weather or the terrain. Smooth ride, low center of gravity makes corner and u-turn smoothly. I recommend it highly.

  Renamed ****lander - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Dawson - October 10 - 12:50 pm

  Wow, What a huge mistake this Small SUV is. All I can say is thank god We purchased an extended warranty. We paid $14,000 for this car and have had close to $20,000 in repairs in 2 years! We blew the original motor at 80,000 km and that was replaced. Within 10,000 km that replacement motor blew. Covered under land rover warranty. Not really sure that a "new" motor was ever put in. what a pile of garbage.

  Mixed Emotions - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By St. Louis Owner - October 2 - 2:00 am

  I have a love/hate relationship with my Freelander. The quality isnt what I would expect from LR. Two main issues I have had is watering spraying out of the AC after 10 minutes of driving and problems with my locks. I have had it in the shop at least 7 times to have the AC fixed but they couldnt figure it out and their answer was That is how the car was designed. I am VERY DISAPPOINTED with the customer service group at Land Rover. I hope you do not have to deal with them for any complaints. Very rude people. Dont get me wrong, I still love my freelander but I now second guess if I over paid for something I had higher expectations for.

  I still have money for the groceries! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By ev barrett - September 7 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle despite the price is a complete SUV. It performs well and is very comfortable for a 6 ft plus person. Window controls on the center console is a little awkward, smoke occasionaly rising from under the hood still mystifies me, but with only only one recall so far, Im pleased. Seventeen inch wheels really set it off, and manufacturer incentive financing makes it a deal.

  Freelander - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Geoff B - August 28 - 10:00 am

  Freelander is an excellent SUV. Performs well for both on road an off- road applications. Surprisingly more able than expected off-road. Has great driving position. Major draw-back is poor fuel economy combined with small fuel tank limiting range.

  Nothing but problems - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Nothing but problems - August 5 - 6:13 pm

  As soon as my 50,000 mile warranty was up, so was my suv. At 63,000 miles I needed a new engine due to a crack in the block that was causing coolant to leak into the engine. I picked it up from the shop about a month ago and my heater core and heater motor now need replacing at 65,000. Unfortunately, I cant get rid of a car that doesnt run and that the heater core smokes so Im forced to fix it.

  Fun little rover! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Roverdude - July 4 - 2:00 am

  This is my second rover and Im loving it. Handling, handling, handling! Im continually amazed at how fast I can whip this rover around the corners. The steptronic tranny helps to get the most power out of the V6 as well. Interior is a nice combo of rugged yet comfortable, and very practical overall. I recommend it to anyone pondering entering the land rover stable.
