  Freelander Warning! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By warranted - October 27 - 8:03 am

  Nothing but problems with electric, engine, windows. Stupidly let mileage get past warranty, only to have engine blow due to a design defect Land Rover is well aware of, coolant leaks into engine block, lock-up, one dead engine. LR will do nothing for victims like me (estimated $10,000 or so loss in "value" from one day to next, as I now hold nothing but an engineless shell). Strongly recommend against Land Rover due to poor quality.

  satisfied with my landrover - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By sherry heverly - October 12 - 7:03 am

  i bought my freelander off the showroom floor, love at first sight!, it is my first suv and i bought it mostly for my dogs, who travel with me daily. all in all it is reliable. there have been some english quirks, but it starts up every day and gets me to work and i love the style and handling. the quirks have been, a recalled engine at 35,000 miles, brakes that squeal, it does go through brake pads quickly.but i am still satisfied with it.

  Best of the Best - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By gjrugby - October 10 - 11:46 am

  We purchased our Freelander not three days ago, and we love it already! Filled it up with gas after leaving the dealership (87 octane) and drove around the city for a bit, then on the highway to our hometown. We drove for around 2 hours on the highway plus another hour of stop-and-go driving, and STILL got 20 mpg when we were all said and done. That was the first day. She is still clean and running like brand new!

  2003 Land Rover FREELANDER 6-Cyl. 2.5 L - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Bellap - October 10 - 4:30 am

  When I bought this vehicle 3/07. I thought it was sporty and great size. With all the bells and whistles. Soon after buying this found that one of the tires was bad, had to have that replaced. Then found my brake lights had issues. Took back to the dealership advised they never worked properly. All within 1 mo. of buying this. Then recall: Brake Light Switch Replacement Recall Action P004. Which came after 6mos of me owning this. Then 2/19/08 my engine over heated. We thought oh, maybe new thermostat. Nope, the whole engine has to be replaced. Guess what? It cant be found. Currently stuck in a car rental warranty only covers 6 days. So I am SOL. Do not buy this vehicle.

  The curse of Lucas electrics lives - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By aatk - October 10 - 2:00 am

  Im a Brit. I bought a British car built by scousers. I should have known better. This must have been a Friday vehicle. So far were up to a new engine management computer, a new nav system, 2 heads (for the stereo) and its back in the shop for a problem with the airbags that they cant seem to diagnose. There have been other minor problems (faulty power windows etc). At least its all under warranty... If it hadnt lost 1/3 of its value in 12 months Id be getting rid of it and going back to a BMW. As it is Ill probably amortise the cost over another year.

  Awesome Vehicle - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Jaime911 - September 21 - 11:23 am

  I purchased my vehicle back in March 2007. I love it! It rides great and makes me feel safe when I drive it. The extras in it are worth it! I recommend this vehicle to anyone!

  Works great for me - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Keals - August 29 - 2:00 am

  This Landrover has been great. The front window heater did not work at first. I took it in and the fixed it. The ride is fun. It rides like a BMW. The leather seats and sunroof feels and look great. The Freelander is not so big that you cant park in a parking spot. It feels and drives like a large SUV. Being able to change the radio at the steerting wheel is a big plus.

  Groovy ride - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By kramsnave - August 26 - 2:00 am

  Just purchased a Freelander S. So far so good. A very solid vehicle with a quiet engine, good acceleration, and plenty of room for four. The cargo space is fine with the rear seats folded forward. The design inside and out sets it apart from the bland-looking competition, making it worth the higher price tag. Plus, its fun to drive!

  landrover freelander - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By lauri - August 17 - 9:43 pm

  very expensive to service and maintain. axles are gone @ 75,000 miles, have replaced radio three times, replaced the entire fan unit and sensors at 72 K miles ($1100.00) rotors and pads will be replaced every 20 K miles, but they wont tell you that at the dealership. Service maintenance is time consuming and expensive.

  More good than bad - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Susan - July 18 - 2:43 am

  I have been overall happy with the performance of this car. It is slow to accelerate and the air conditioner is very loud. There are some annoying design flaws. The flimsy cup holder is in a place prime for constantly spilling. The steering wheel isnt perfectly centered and the back door opens into the curb instead of away from it. The seats should move electrically for a luxury line, but they are manual. The car could definitely use a sunroof. Overall, it drives tight to the curb. The brakes are for a car and dont last long.
