  Excluding safety, its a great car - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By SeattleSteve - December 20 - 2:00 am

  The only worry in purchasing this car is its safety record, which isnt that much worse than other cars in its class, but still not as good as a 4dr sedan. Besides for that, the car works very well and we have no complaints. Its good for people who like to ride high (in a SUV), still like to have a car that is nimble, yet dont need the cargo space of a larger SUV. The ride is a lot more comfortable than the Jeep Liberty, Rav4, etc.

  A fun and sporty vehicle to drive. I have had no mechanical or structural problems with the Freelander. Its been safe and consistently reliable and handles well in all weather conditions (snow, sleet, rain). Gas mileage is average and is noticably worse when A/C is used. Overall, very pleased with my purchase!

  rotten rover - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By surreyman - September 24 - 10:00 am

  Purchased in 2007 this 2004 model had done only 15,000 miles. The first thing to go wrong was a fuel pump at 15,500 miles. The lr dealer did not want to know neither did lr head office. Then the window regulators went within weeks in the back. Finally, having serviced the car every six months and at 35,000 miles the turbo went. The workshop said I should use an lr new turbo due to the quality so I laughed and said I had had it with lr quality. I found an independent shop reconditioning turbos and got one for another workshop to fit. Thats $2500 instead of $3300 at the dealers. So about half the car value retail and close to trade in prices.

  Great car - Fantastic value - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By LALSF - July 22 - 10:00 am

  Landrover is synonymous with quality, durablity, reliance and luxury but, up until the Freelander, Landrover was not associated with "value". Thats all changed. This car smokes my friends Honda CRVs, Nissan Xterras, and Toyota Rav4s. Its a TRUE Landrover and capable of handling real off-roading situations as well as leisurely pleasure rides about town. I would definately recommend the Freelander to anyone considering the purchase of a quality SUV.

  Very fun to drive - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Andrew Gates - June 22 - 6:23 pm

  It has been almost 2 years driving this car and I really like it. A few months ago Ive notice that the fuel consumption was higher than normal. I took it to the Lad Rover Dealer and they said it was the fuel pump. For my surprise, I did not have to pay for anything, since it was a recall. If you drive a 2004 Freelander, take it to the dealer to get the fuel pump replaced. I also noticed that after the fix, the gear changes are more smooth.

  Dont buy it - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By J. Hartman - May 4 - 10:00 am

  I should have listened to the dealer. If you want a realible SUV, buy a Toyota. Not a glowing review from the dealer of the car. Constant breakdowns. It needs new tires and brakes on semi annual basis. Impossible to sell. Word travels fast. Bad car in every way. Extremely expensive and unreliable.

  Great compact SUV! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By zipdedoda4 - April 21 - 2:00 am

  Great fully-loaded SUV if youre not willing to cough up the $40,000 for the X3. Ive had it for about 8 months and still havent had any problems. Love it!

  British View - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Eddie - February 16 - 5:00 pm

  Hi Guys I have had a 1.8 Petrol engine manual for two years the only problem I have had is the three lights for ABS/TC & HD Kept lighting it took three attempts to fix the fault but after that I have enjoyed every moment with the car. I have found that over Mud and rough terrain this thing never lets me down. There are a few issues I have like the front seats are not very comfy for long drives but other than that the car is OK. I have done 20,000 miles in mine I have not had to replace the tires and Brakes as yet. I will be replacing this one with a New Diesel next week with an Auto engine.

  Worst Car Ever Seriously!!!!!!! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By wildcats_fan - February 12 - 5:23 am

  After owning one and spending thousands I couldnt begin to describe how bad these Freelanders actually are. If you read this and think your getting a good deal on one then take my advice and run.. Its a known fact that they are a ticking time bomb. I waisted thousands on it and never once felt as if I were going to make it to the next destination without it breaking down. If you really want to know how bad it really was... 17 trips to Landrover and that was under Waranty. After the warranty expired I spent about seven thousand on it at local repair shops and it was literally falling apart the day I traded it off. I was one of the lucky ones and actually got rid of it before it blew up....

  Excellence from Land Rover - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By LandRoverLuvr - January 6 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle is best value in my opinion, for this class. Its easy and fun to drive, lots of creature comforts and is built to last. The only time it has been in the shop has been for regularly scheduled maintenance. A little more storage room would be nice but, overall, its tops in my book.
