  Freelander rules! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Freebie - June 27 - 2:00 am

  The reason to buy an SUV is to be able to go offroad, not to have tons of space for passengers and not for fancy interior design. If you want the former buy a minivan. The Freelander rides the road like it has magnets for tires. When it is raining, it feels like the pavement is dry. The build quality is outstanding. Some people have been negative about the interior design. However, plain it may be, it will last and take a beating. The leather seats are amazing. The Freelander drives itself. The stearing wheel is the best feel I have ever ecountered. I am very pleased with our Land Rover and our dealer was excellent.

  Possibly the worst vehicle ever - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By NJB - June 22 - 1:03 am

  I am writing this review in hopes of deterring and potential buyers from purchasing one of these horrid little automobiles. I do not own one; I am a career mechanic, and we contract with a used car lot to repair their vehicles. They have brought in a number of these Freelanders with mileage ranging from 30k to 80k, and not one of them has been saleable without at least $1k in repairs. Aside from being under powered, lazy/sloppy handling, and interior ergonomics worse than the old Ford Festiva, these things have more mechanical and electrical problems than any other model from any manufacturer. VERY expensive parts and high labor costs. Absolute JUNK!

  Poorest quality SUV ever built - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By The Robinson Family - May 13 - 11:50 pm

  The LandRover Freelander should of never been imported into this country. I have been a car salesman for over 18 years and have never been around such a poorly built vehicle. My wife and I owned ours for 3 very long years. Everyday you wonder whats going to break next. We had a issue with everything from coolant leaks to electrical to front brake rotors that must of been a cruel joke to the consumer. I bought the vehicle wholesale and still lost money because dealers are scared of them. My wife had always liked the looks of the Freelander but was terrified to drive this suv with its host of problems.

  Many Issues Resolved - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By MacDoodles - May 10 - 2:00 am

  It was only a few days after purchase that a heat issue surfaced, then smoke started rising from the engine. The radiator and thermostat was replaced, all while I drove around in a Discovery. I also noted some problems with engine & transmission performance on the quality survey I received. Many issues I noted were on a list of recalls. All of the lacking components were addressed and ride/drive quality improved significantly. I am sure these have been fixed on many before delivery, being an "early adopter" has its draw backs. Over all, since my initial problems, I am satisfied with the car/truck.

  2003 Range Rover Freelander - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By cvandiver - May 1 - 6:00 pm

  Just purchased a 2003 Land Rover, I have had this for 1 week and it is already given me problems. The first day I found out ignition key will not unlock the drivers door, which by the way is the only lock on this rig besides the tailgate, the gas cap fell apart in my hands, the gas mileage is really bad. Driving today it is shifting on its own going down the road, but is shifting hard. The dash is blinking 4F and is says that it is decending down hill,. Being in park is it saying 4F. I took it to the dealership had their mechanic come out and take a look, he checked it out and is saying that I have a Transmition Problem. This is NOT GOOD, used dealer is not anwering our calls to him,NOT GOOD

  Should have bought something else - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By MrJake - April 17 - 2:00 am

  I bought a Freelander because it was well equiped and would do well off road and in the snow. What I have experienced is a vehicle with poor reliability. I have had oil and water leaks, cracked cylinder head, bad transmision, and a host of other problems. Dealer maint, costs are steep ($90 oil change). Gas mileage is not very good for such a small SUV.

  Very good car - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By NYC-driver - April 10 - 2:00 am

  Got this SUV for my wife, but she decided do not drive it and took my "everyday" Jetta. I use it every day, in any weather condition all year around. Excellent in snow blizzard! No any problem so far.

  Landrovers rule! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Richard - April 5 - 11:26 pm

  I love my Landrover! Bought it used with 28,000 miles last year. And yes I have had to take it to the dealer for a few things but they treated me right. If you like jeeps wranglers on the outside but hate the way they ride this babys for you.

  Junk - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By bbealko - March 22 - 1:36 am

  This vehicle is junk. It has been a headache for my family. The fuel pump was recalled and still doesnt work properly. Lights on the dashboard come on and go off randomly. My back passenger windows will not go down. Both broke on the the same day. Everything is so expensive to get fixed on this car. Would not recommend this vehicle to anyone.
