  Upper Class Compact SUV - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Rover723 - February 25 - 2:00 am

  Although 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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  More than a pretty face - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By jersey - April 26 - 2:00 am

  This is not just another cute ute. I have recently had this SUV seriously off-road it can perform. Even the professional trail guide was impressed. I like the interior, but this is definitely a matter of personal taste. Concerns about storage and on-dash cupholders are BS. Ive take a couple of fast-food cups down a rough dirt road with zero spillage. There is limited seat travel and no height adjust. The sun-visor is poorly designed and blocks vision due to its design unless you are short. Rear storage is smaller, but still adequate for most people.

  Fun little car - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By sr11 - January 31 - 2:00 am

  We wanted a little suv as a 2nd car to drive and commute with. With the sunroof and premium stereo, its a lot of fun to drive, no matter the weather. Definitely the best re handling/performance in its group. Gas still stinks but at least its regular. Usual British quirks but overall, we love it. Good news is if we need the extra trunk, we look for our 2001 discovery II.

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