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

Freelander best of both worlds - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By mikerover - August 14 - 10:00 amThe Freelander has been excellant both on and off road. Suprisingly comfortable it has not let me down on or off road. It out performs all the compact SUVs I have driven, including Honda and Toyota and I slam dunked a Chevy trail blazer off road. Its a great car.

Freelander G4 - Special Edition - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By BritinUSA - June 27 - 2:00 amI read the edmunds.com review prior to buying and I found the Editor Reviews to be rather misleading. There is a great case to be made for the Freelander over the BMW, namely price. Sure it does not have all the extra bells and whistles offered by the luxury SUV but then this is not a luxury SUV, it is an Off-road vehicle that has been designed to handle well on the roads. The sport-shift is especially useful in snow/ice conditions as it allows the vehicle to be driven around town with minimal use of the breaks (helps prevent loss of traction). All round this is a great car.

Best Compact SUV! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By patti - June 6 - 2:00 amI like this car - with the Great Trans and tight handling, its like a mini BMW! Outstanding dealer in Tysons Corner, VA - gave me a good deal and have a great service dept. No complaints. Dont buy the S, go at least for the SE - theres no comparison between the interiors and the overall feel from the inside between the two.

Lovin It! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By shebby69 - April 2 - 2:00 amWell, after I totalled my Toyota Echo I wanted something that could safely handle changing weather conditions. I test drove everything from Mazda Tributes to Ford Escapes to Isuzu Rodeos to Toyota Rav4s and this was by far my favorite! I dont really understand why many people say the car is not fast, or doesnt shift well. If you manually shift in the "sport" mode the Rover is actually very fast! I love it and cant wait to test it out in warm weather!!!

Good for what it is - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By Mike - January 1 - 3:20 pmI purchased the SE3 for my wife about a year ago. So far we have not had any real problems. The front brakes had a dragging problem but the dealership corrected the problem. The detachable top is great, my wife loves stripping it down for the carolina summer. The traction control works GREAT in snow and ice, we go to the mountains on the weekends and the freelander goes through the snow as well as my truck (and that is saying something). The interior is easy to clean and works well with the jeep like feel. All in all a great car for the wife and a fun car to drive.

A Nightmare in Sheeps Clothing - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By Dale Booth - October 4 - 8:30 pmWell, Where do I start - Land Rover ought to really be ashamed of the product they built. This engine design is a total joke. I had my Freelander approx. 1 year before I had to trade it in. The problem was with a leak of the engine coolant into the engine. This slow leak was unrepairable. The only TEMPORARY solution was a new engine for a cost of $10K, according to Land Rover-Jaguar of Houston. I had them put the SUV back together and drove it to the nearest TOYOTA dealership where I traded it for a 2005 Toyota 4Runner. It has been happy driving ever since. MY ADVICE TO ANYONE THINKING ABOUT PURCHASING A NEW OR USED LAND ROVER. DONT DO IT; UNLESS YOU HAVE MONEY FOR REPAIRS.

Great SUV - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By salamander - August 9 - 10:00 amI like the looks, the way it handles. It really turns heads as it zips thru traffic. BTW is the heated windsheild a standard option on the SE.?
