  Worst vehicle ever! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By angry in mn! - May 22 - 5:46 pm

  This vehicle has been so much more trouble than its worth. The cooling system always has some sort of leak that cant be fixed, which causes it to overheat all the time.

  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!!!

  2002 freelander landrover - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By rokit777 - May 6 - 5:40 pm

  Hello I purchased my landrover at 45,000 mi,I felt so lucky to have such a beautiful SUV. The problems began as I drove my car out of the dealership. It was at the dealership for the first month of owner ship , I had fuel line problems, coolant leak, heater core replaced, coolant system replaced, transmission replaced, brakes replaced very often, needless to say the car has been great when it runs... I love it.... but too many mechanical problems,and pricey to fix. I am now at 100,000 mi and once again when I turn the heater on there is a burning smell, and the smell of coolant . I cannot afford anymore work, I cannot afford a new engine or head gasket. I took a loss and traded it in...

  Glad I bought one! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By mac6115cd - May 5 - 10:00 am

  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.

  Junk car - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By ak - May 1 - 10:56 am

  I bought my freelander with around 42,000 miles on it. I didnt have any problems until the car hit 60,000 miles. Since then, this car has been breaking down like I have never seen before. I had to put a new fuel pump, sun roof, drive shaft, window regulator, cam seals, engine . The vehicle has only 80,000 miles on it currently. I maintain my cars and did all the factory recommended service maintenance. Also most of my driving has been on the interstate. I have a second car I do my city driving with. This is the worst vehicle I have ever owned. I will never by another landrover. Do yourself a favor and stay away from landrovers, unless you want a junk car!

  Coolant System and Transmission - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Shirley Allen - April 28 - 6:03 am

  Transmission had to be replaced. Was still under warranty. Had to have coolant tank replaced, then thermostat replaced because of constant overheat of engine. Vehicle in shop. Dealer says engine needs replacing because of cracked engine. Coolant getting into oil? These are major problems for a vehicle with only 85000 miles and for the cost to purchase this vehicle. Also brake pad need replacing too often.

  More than a pretty face - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By jersey - April 26 - 2:00 am

  This is not just another cute ute. I have recently had this SUV seriously off-road it can perform. Even the professional trail guide was impressed. I like the interior, but this is definitely a matter of personal taste. Concerns about storage and on-dash cupholders are BS. Ive take a couple of fast-food cups down a rough dirt road with zero spillage. There is limited seat travel and no height adjust. The sun-visor is poorly designed and blocks vision due to its design unless you are short. Rear storage is smaller, but still adequate for most people.

  Great Small SUV - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By maxwell - April 3 - 2:00 am

  Because of a long commute it was time to get rid of the big SUV in favor of a smaller one. I shopped everything -- domestics, RAV4s, Honda Element, Honda CRV, and others but nothing came close to the feel of the Land Rover. Having owned a Range Rover I was skepticle -- it was inexpensive and I was worried about quality. Since Ive had the vehicle I have had only one minor problem (a window bolt that needed tightening). The service is excellent, the vehicle rides wonderful and solid. It really is a Land Rover in small form... Ive driven it from MA to FL and back, and have not had one issue. Great vehicle.
