  • Freelander winning our hearts... - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    We was looking for a small SUV for my wife (Ford Escape/Explorer) but came away with this and couldnt be happier. Weve put a few miles on it now and have came away impressed. It took awhile to get used to the non- traditional interior placement of items. Driving is impressive, road conditions do not matter and it inspires confidence youre going to get to wherever youre going. We average 20.1 MPG which isnt bad since Im used to 17 with my Explorer. Plus the 4 yr/50k mile warranty is nice. All in all we would buy again. We plan to use it 98% on pavment; the rest maybe for camping, fall foliage or something - nothing hard core.

  • Not much "Free"Lander-ing - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    This SUV is beautiful inside & out...looks can be very deceiving! This vehicle is FUN to drive, & being a Mom it has lots of spots to store stuff. My fondness is most relevant in its ease of all vantage points while driving (No blind spots!) The down side has been since my purchase I have had to replace my brakes twice, averaging every 16,000 miles! Although covered under warranty, I had to replace the fuel pump, had the car towed to the dealership, upon pick-up, I was horrified to find that my SUV had sustained body damage while at the dealership! Currently, it has overheated three times! After reading previous reviews, and escalating fuel costs, Im TOTALLY convinced on a Hybrid!

  • Unreliable - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    The car has stalled 2 times and the dealer is unable to find the problem. Lights go on on the dash board such as breaking and traction control and the dealer has been unable to fix it.

  • Still love it. - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    I purchased mine used in 2004. Did have a coolant/oil issue. Land Rover replaced the engine under original manufacturers warranty and Ive not had an issue since. I average around 22 MPG. Its a great vehicle and fun to drive. Handles amazing in the snow.

  • Upper Class Compact SUV - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    Although the Freelander is compared with the Honda and Rav4, I dont think it should be. After riding all three, the Freelander feel much more solid and designed for much more aggressive off road experiences while really giving off a "European" feel while on the black top. Weighing in at 4500lbs due to all the steel reinforcements, it can use a little more HP, but it still has a little punch accelerating. The interior is all business but still has a conservative upper class feel. All in all the 2003 model gives much more SUV than others in its class and brings with it the prestige of Land Rover.

  • Yes - sadly I join the masses - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    Today I join the mass of disappointed Freelander owners as I became victim too, of the mysterious disappearing coolant. Well, not so mysterious. Yes - Land Rover of Harrisburg called, the car they sold to me just a little over 2 1/2 years ago -JUNK! I was told I was actually lucky I made it to 110,000 before the engine went. Yes - Land Rover of America told me they had no knowledge of any problem with the engines. Guess employees there are blocked from using Google. Cant get most parts. We were trying to find a rear windshield wiper and rear window motor. Now we know - Land Rover has cut off all ties to the Freelander including parts support. DONT BUY. SELL QUICK!

  • Freelander Lemon - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    I babied my Freelander for 55,000 miles. Not a scratch. Never replaced Rotors & replaced pads only once. Loved the handling & snow traction (800 miles from TN to DC & back in 8 inches). No problems until transmission started slipping at 45,000. It was replaced under warranty. Engine made noise when I picked it up at Dealer. Noise continued in cold weather at startup. Dealer said "not to worry". In August noise started & engine disintegrated

  • Could be for you - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    depending on what youre looking for, this could either be the best or the worst car youll ever buy. this is for someone who wants an suv but isnt too interested in off-roading. someone who if they were getting a coupe/sedan would opt for a convertible. someone who wants a quality-made car with something more than a plain-vanilla GM make. someone who wants to stand out a little on the road without having to spend $70k. i love it, this car is for me, its easily worth the small premium.
