  Do not buy this car!!! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By kitty - July 17 - 2:33 pm

  After 4 months, this car needed a new alternator, since then its gotten the cooling system fixed 3 times, a whole new transmission, needs new timing belts, and a new fuel pump. Also the radio is broken, and the moonroof wont open. This car is terrible, and I was a fool to buy this car without researching it better. I hoping to get rid of it tomorrow! Do not buy this car. I will never own another Land Rover.

  Classic British - stylish and unreliable - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By John - April 14 - 2:46 pm

  We wanted a car that wasnt a Ford Escape or Jeep Liberty and found the Freelander. Its a tad on the small side, but also a lot of fun and can climb a cliff in either direction. However, since buying (new) weve had all 5 window regulators replaced, the sunroof twice, all 4 brake rotors warped and had to be replaced, and most recently the car quit completely, with 6 different error codes in the computer, most notably that the camshaft position sensor had failed. The dealer treats us like poor cousins to the LR3 and Range Rover owners and we cant get a loaner, even for the latest issue. Bottom line, its a fun car, but if you dont have a warranty, dont buy it.

  Doesnt Live Up to Land Rover - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By tylo - March 23 - 2:32 pm

  This car was expected to be an excellent car, but what we got was far from it. This car has had issues from day one. Each window, excluding the windshield, has had to been replaced at least once, for a total of seven times because they would not roll up or down. The car currently only has 60,000 miles on it, but only two years after buying the car, the transmission had to be replaced at a whopping $6000. Roughly four years ago, the engine had overheating problems, and since then, weve only been able to drive it short distances, which kept things at bay. This car wasnt built very well, but hey, it is a nimble little SUV, and is still fun to drive. I just dont touch the manual shifter..

  The land rover name means nothing when it comes to tough SUVs as far as I am consern after driving the freelander.

  Fun but annoying - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Jaymar10 - October 31 - 10:00 am

  Fun to drive and looks great, but little things break all the time and the brake system sucks. Have to replace the breaks every 10k miles!

  Nothing but a headache!! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Woodstock36 - March 27 - 10:30 pm

  It will get you out of just about anything weather wise. Very expensive to fix, called land rover dealer $125.00 an hour for labor, not to mention the parts. Its a great SUV if you have tons of money to sink into it. 56,000 miles, both back windows are broke, keep falling down, back door closed, never to reopen, screaming belt, hanging muffler, now to top it off, its overheating, after sitting just a few min. In 40 degree weather. I have found this situation disheartening, that they would make such a nicely designed vehicle but such poor quality. I have had many vehicles, and have never had so many things go wrong like this, I would expect these things with 100,000 miles on it, maybe even more

  Tons of repairs - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By freelander25 - March 19 - 3:30 am

  I purchased a used "02 freelander in "05. After 1 year the transmission had to be replaced. Then the A/C broke. Then a couple other valves. The two back rear doors broke, they could only be opened from the inside. The rear drivers side window doesnt open. The only plus are the seat warmers. I would not recommend this purchase.

  Freelander 2005 - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By lakewood - February 11 - 5:16 am

  I goofed or did I? I did not test drive the car I took home. I expected regardless of color, they would all work the same. This is idealistic. My transmission had an intermittent problem. Actually, I did not goof. The factory is repsonsible, not me, to deliver a working product. Could a 5 mile test drive identify something...maybe. For the average person, it would not.

  Sell before warranty ends! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By alesha1 - November 19 - 11:23 pm

  I liked my car. But the brakes go out a lot. Antenna definitely not in a good location, was ripped off by a tree. Its kinda loud, when you drive. As soon as the warranty expired at 50,000 within a month I needed a new g filter $500 Landrover would do nothing. And now at 70,000 I was loosing coolant car will not start. Apparantly like everyone else I need an engine. I called Landrover the day it would not start, they acted like they had no clue why. Once I got on here I know they know whats wrong with it they are just trying to get me to tow it there so they can charge me an arm and a leg to fix it.

  DISAPPOINTED BUYER - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By KRISTY - October 6 - 10:00 am

  I BOUGHT MY FREELANDER IN FEB. 2003 WITH 5 MILES ON IT. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP FOR THE MIRRORS FLAKING, ASH TRAY BROKE (TOOK 4 TIMES TO GET THAT RIGHT), WINDSHIELD WAS DEFECTIVE, SUNROOF HAS BROKEN TWICE (ONCE ON EACH SIDE), FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE, BACK PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR ALSO BROKE, AND THE MAIN COMPLAINT I HAVE IS THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER IS SO LOUD ON HIGH SPEED THAT YOU CANT HEAR OTHER PEOPLE TALKING IN THE CAR AND IT DOES NOT COOL EFFICIENTLY.
