  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!

  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.

  fun - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By De Sass - December 23 - 9:36 pm

  I love my SE3. Its easy to get in and out of, it handles great and its just plain fun to drive. I have always driven pickups, so I was a little concerned about low seating, but I sit up high pretty well. I havent driven it off road yet, except for our driveway, which is dirt and stone uphill, lol. But it takes it much smoother than any of my trucks did, lol.

  good car - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By strmman - November 19 - 2:00 am

  Love the car but it is underpowered, not fast, sucks gas like a v8. The lowest model has bad fabric seats and maintenance is quite expensive. The dealer is exceptional though and I will consider trading up to a Discovery S next time.

  Be careful!!! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By GAM - April 9 - 10:00 am

  I have 7,000 miles on a 04 HSE and since I bought it there have been whining noises not heard on other Freelanders i have driven. Land Rovers Regional representatives reply..."the noises are to acceptable standards." My answer...Lemon Law. It is a fine ride. the loaner I am returning right now is superb in handling and ride however mine is not so test drive whatever FL you plan on buying for at least 2 days, and drive it at 70MPH to make sure you do not land up as I have. Also visit the "Freelander Living" web site for more info about potential problems.

  Sonnys review - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Sonny L - April 2 - 10:00 am

  Starts without any hesitation. Firm but solid ride and able to keep up with traffic during interstate driving. The Freelander handles extremely well in bad weather and poor driving conditions. A/C could be improved - it takes a while for the interior to cool.

  HAVE DRIVEN THE FREELANDER FOR TWO MONTHS. HAD TWO SMALL PROBLEMS RIGHT AWAY WITH A SWITCH AND THE OUTSIDE TEMP GAUGE BUT BOTH WERE FIXED RIGHT AWAY. VERY FUN TO DRIVE, IN FACT THE FOUR OF US IN THE FAMILY DEBATE OVER WHO DRIVES IT.

  A Michigan Freelander - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Philip Dingle - June 22 - 1:00 am

  My Freelander is 4 years old now, and I am generally pleased with the ownership experience. There was an early-life electrical problem which required the car to be towed into the dealership, but with that fixed, there have been no other problems. Performance is quite adequate, ride and handling are good, comfort is reasonable, and it has handled the dirt roads in Michigan very well. Interior noise level is higher than I would like.
