  I dont think its luck - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By happyhippo - August 23 - 11:40 am

  I thought Id give my two cents on this SUV. Ive had this thing for 4 years and at 52000 miles Ive had very few problems. I think you here more from people that do than from people that dont and I think this FL is getting a bad rap. Its a european vehicle not a chevy or a ford. It takes a little more care and driver knowledge than US cars for sure. Knowing how to drive and what to listen for mostly. Ill admit there are apparently some inferior parts in some of these trucks and it doesnt sound like Land Rover NA is concerned at all about consumer relations. That being said, Ive loved this SUV from day one and intend to keep it for quite a while yet. BTW luck is almost never on my side.

  Tight little SUV and fun to drive. Needs more cargo space though.

  I love my Freelander! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By KPR - August 7 - 10:00 am

  Leased Freelander SE with the sunroof and the heated seats. Love this car. Dealership (Land Rover Massapequa NY) was phenomenal. Flip you the keys to test drive it and youre off. Sales process no hassle, no meeting with any "finance people". The interior is basic, like most LRs. Exterior is different, you wont look like everyone else in their Ford Toyota Jeep etc. Recently on a road trip into 40-50 mph wind and driving rain sleet. Car was comfortable at 70+. My parents have owned 5 LRs Disco and Range Rover, this car is as good overall as any. Yes the ergonomics of the cupholders and window buttons are odd but thats the way they are on all LRs.

  By j skaggs - July 27 - 10:00 am

  it rides better then a cadillac. It rides real smooth, its quite, it handles curves like a sports car, and it is real roomy

  Frustrated - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By sheyrend - May 12 - 11:57 pm

  We recently helped purchase this vehicle for our son for college. We wish we would have read these reviews first. We had the vehicle a week, and it overheated. Our son never has had the chance to drive it, but now has a car payment - and repair costs worth twice the cost of the vehicle. The thermostat repair is over $900, the oxygen sensors $1100, and now the head gasket and sleeve repair, over $7500. Needless to say, the vehicle cost $6500, and now the repairs have more than doubled that. I have contacted multiple class action lawyers today. Hopefully something can come of this, and this can ber rectified!

  Most Fun Vehicle for the Money - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By baeverly - January 1 - 10:00 am

  After owning 4 big SUVs the wife wanted something smaller. Went looking at 4dooor model and bought the SE3 three days later. This car is FUN. Handles like a sportscar, has 4wd, and a covertible roof. Where else can you get a European Car that is 4wd and has a convertible top for the money?

  NIGHTMARE ON WHEELS - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By n - November 16 - 12:33 am

  If you own this car you need to run, not walk to trade it in! Do a little research and you will be sick. This car turned evil out of nowhere. There is a defect in the cooling system that should have been recalled and cant be fixed. I was stuck without a car for nearly 2mnths because of this devil. Had no choice but to have it repoed, because the cost of repair is equal to what I owe...not that it can be fixed anyways! Took it to 4 different foreign shops and they dont want anything to do with it. Now Im stuck having to file bankruptcy over this mess. I would hate to see anyone go through this, wish I would of done some research before buying Land Rover.
