  Fun Car but reliability? - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Adam The Ant - December 30 - 2:00 am

  Great Suv for playing hard! But the reliability of the Suv leaves a lot to be desired. In my first year alone a new transmission and 2 oil leaks expected to be the main seal but dealer will not say exactly what it is.

  This vehicle has been great for us, and I enjoy driving it. Its a high- scale suv with a very attractive exterior.

  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.

  still like this car... - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By justin - November 7 - 11:20 am

  Ive had this car for 7 years and will be somewhat sad to trade it in soon. I think its one of the best looking small SUVs made. I had a few reliability issues (like other owners of this model) but the positives outweighed the negatives.

  awesome first car experience - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By beetlejuiceplz - November 4 - 11:00 am

  i bought my se3 at 34,000 miles as my first car in 2007. after recently selling the car, i now realize how lucky i was to have such a reliable car. the only time i had to take the car in during the 4 years i owned it was to get the get the oil changed (which is expensive because it will only accept synthetic oil barf). towards the end of my relationship with the car however (aprox. 74,000 miles), engine lights began coming on due to an ABS sensor which costs $540 dollars for just the part itself! I also have read that these cars dont usually last much longer after 100,000 miles. my suggestion is to obviously buy this car with low miles in order to have an awesome car experience.

  Freelander S - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By JoeHD7 - September 24 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle cries out for a 5 speed. The engine has limited gearing and is not fast off the line but likes to go in the 60-80 mph range. Gas mileage is in the low 20s, not really great for this size vehicle. The Freelander feels tight and handles well in the rain/snow/ice of Western new York

  Wish you had one? - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By MandA - September 11 - 10:00 am

  Great vehicle, so far has been pretty reliable... it did have a computer glitch which caused the fuel gauge and descent light to malfunction, however once reset, everything was fine. Not a lot of room, but hey, its a mini- suv! They put the Landrover looks and spirit in a vehicle that is very affordable.

  Fun Car with Some Issues - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By egullsfan - June 29 - 8:26 pm

  Ive had this Freelander almost a year and I love it. It is fun to drive, great in snow and mud, and doesnt look like every other small SUV. It is not as reliable as say a CRV (my wifes car) though. We have had no problems with the brakes so far (I put 10K since buying it used). The parts replaced so far though (under warranty at no cost) have been the rear window switch, drivers door lock, thermostat, coolant reservoir. Without a warranty that is $1200 worth of work. I like the fact that this SUV is faster and more fun than our CRV, but the gas mileage pales in comparison (I get 18-20). When the extended warranty runs out, Ill sell this car. Until then, Ill continue to enjoy.

  Just leased a week ago - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Monkeygirl - June 11 - 10:00 am

  I have had it one week and it has already been in the shop. My driver side mirror was scratched....they broke the scratched mirror removing it and then broke the new mirror installing it. So, they kept my new car over July 4th and then I picked it up yesterday. I drove off and then realized that the new mirror is distorted....great work guys. It is annoying and if I hadnt already taken the car off road and loved how it handled....I would be way more upset. Luckily, they gave me a great sports car as a rental while they fixed my mirror (the 1st time)....well see what happens on Monday.

  So Far - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By Brenda - April 23 - 5:43 pm

  My New 2005 Freelander, so far, has not given me any problems. Its spacious for a 52", 110 lbs person and rides like a car. I drive dirt-rocky roads everyday with weather conditions of snow, rain, and mud. This SUV is the Bomb! It handled the conditions with ease and makes me feel confident, so far. Highly recommend if you live where I live and drive where I drive (So. California).
