New Land Rover owner - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By NewRoverOwner - November 28 - 10:00 amI have always like the Land Rovers but could not accept the 12-14 MPG of the larger Discovery or Range Rover. The Freelander fit my needs with many of the features I would expect from a Land Rover. Was surprised it lacked several features listed below in the "Suggested Improvement" section. Great car so far. Also had a great experience with the dealership sales staff.

freelander - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By lb3319 - November 28 - 10:00 amI feel safe in this vehicle, esp with my children. I like the wider wheel base, the reinforced side passenger doors, dual airbags. What I really like is the rear passengers sit up higher than the front for safety purposes. The body design is simple but sporty. Easy to drive and park. The real challenge will be this winter to be able to drive in the snow.

You havent lived until you own a LAnd R - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By Nancy M - November 28 - 10:00 amI have LOVED this little SUV. It is dependable and fun to drive. I also own a 2002 Mercedes and like driving my Land Rover just as much. If anyone is thinking about buying a Land Rover Freelander, you wont be disappointed. They have all the bells and whistles and I havent had any problems to date. I purchased it from a Salesman named Kevin in Asheville, NC. Dealing with Land Rover in Asheville and Kevin was a pleasant dealing. You havent lived until you own a LAnd Rover! :-)

Coolest SUV ever! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By Josh14109 - October 28 - 2:00 amThe SE3 is Amazing. The whole idea of a convertable SUV is such a great idea. Ive never been much of a Land Rover fan but they sure won me over with this one!

Smooth and simple - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By facet - December 27 - 2:00 amThe ride of the Freelander is fantastic. It handles snow and ice without a hitch. I have taken it through 20 inches of unplowed snow, it did not have any problems. The AWD system works well.

HSE is Having Superior Enjoyment ! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By HSE Owner - September 27 - 10:00 amI bought this Land Rover from Dimmitt in Clearwater on 5/15/03. Great dealer. John the salesman is excellent. I went from a Ford Harley F150 to this so I lost some features I was used to (not to mention power) that should be on this SUV for its price tag. Such as auto lights, keyless entry and a better sound system (Harmon Kardon is not very good despite what people think). However, I love this and dont miss my truck at all. It is a little small (Im 61) but still comfortable. People complain about the power but I thinks it pretty quick. It does shift a bit hard.

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?

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!

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.
