  2004 Freelander-A Must Have - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Lrover1 - August 15 - 2:00 am

  Ive traveled in Europe quite often, and noticed Freelanders on almost every corner. I decided to test out the European best seller and was quite impressed. Land Rover did a great job with its 04 design. It is very impressive off-road!

  wish i would have read these reviews before buying!! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By jferguson74 - May 21 - 8:56 am

  i bought my freelander in july of 2011 it only had 55,000 miles and got a good deal on it. only put 3,000 miles on it since i got it and have spent over $4,000 in repairs!!!!! starter, head gasket, window motor, radiator, etc! almost everything. its so hard to find someone to work on it and the parts and labor are ridiculous. once we get it out of the shop this time we are trading it in!!!! do not waste your money... it may sound like a good deal but its not worth the money and aggravation!!!

  Glad I bought one! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander

  When shopping for an off-road vehicle, I wanted one that was actually built for off-road use and would hold onto its value. The Land Rover Freelander has met all of my expectations and the dealer has been superb. I could use a bit more head room (Im 6 3"), but other than that, Im very pleased.

  too many problems with this one - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By verrrry unhappy - November 15 - 10:00 am

  i bought the freelander in august 2003, it has been in the shop twice for leaking antifreeze, once for the sun roof, twice for the engine knocking, and is now in the shop for the air conditioning not working, still smelling antifreeze after turning car off, and having hard starts. i would not recommend this car to anyone. will trade it off if i can get out of service long enough.

  Best in Class - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By speedracer - September 2 - 2:00 am

  The Freelander is hands down the best vehicle in the small SUV class. The V6 is powerful and is mated with a steptronic transmission which allows you to shift if you want to, otherwise just leave it in drive and go. There is also a sport option which allows for a more lively driving experience with increased engine revs. On the road the suspension is great and gives a smooth right. The steering is tight and responsive, similar to what you would expect in a BMW sedan. The Freelander is excellent off road as well and can go through some rough terrain with aplomb. The driving seat is excellent and gives a great view of the road. Brakes are responsive.

  I really like my 04 Freelander - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Randall Thomas - July 13 - 1:00 am

  We use the Freelander as a daily driver on pavement, with only a few off-road trips. It is comfortable on long trips, delivers gas mileage in the low 20s mpg, is fun to drive, and distictive. It is very confidence inspiring on wet and icy roads here in the mountains of Eastern KY, handles great, and is easy to park. We have had no reliability issues and the dealer experience has been outstanding--even organizing an off-road trip in West Virginia and a free restaurant meal! Im only sorry that Land Rover has (for now) discontinued the Freelander in the USA, giving me something of an orphan feel- -kinda like how I feel about my old MG.

  "You Dont Know What Youre Missing!" - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By New England Driver - June 11 - 4:30 am

  After 8+ months of ownership of my HSE (better known as Land Rovers best kept secret), I am relieved to know that the critics were wrong! This head-turner is the most responsive and fun-to-drive SUV I have ever owened. Other than a few cosmetic flaws, I am very pleased with its driving responsiveness. As a further compliment to Land Rover, another household member bought one also!

  New Look, New Price, Its a Ford! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Geodillon - June 9 - 2:00 am

  Overall the new 2004 Land Rover Freelander looks a lot better than its previous models did. Its taken the Ford Motor Company look and has been a bit polished up from the 2002-2003 models. Other than the look, the price has changed and has been long due.

  I love my Freelander - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By KATHLEENC - April 27 - 5:13 pm

  I did my homework before buying and wasnt discouraged by some of the bad reviews. Am I ever glad! It is very reliable, I have never spent less on repairs, looks great. The AWD works extremely well in Snow and I feel very safe in all weather conditions - which is important with my kids in the vehicle. Maybe some Freelanders are lemons but mine is a GEM. The other good thing about this vehicle is that it is unique - not a lot of others on the road. Excellent handling and performance.
