  2002 Land Rover Freelander - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By J. - December 3 - 10:20 pm

  I purchased this used about 1yr 1/2 ago.Its been nothing but trouble.To start the back window wont roll up,the sun roof wont roll down,the heater went out,the A/C does not work.I have put over $1000 into this vehicle in the past year on top of car payments and have another $2000 to put into it to be able to trade in for a reliable vehicle,not a Land Rover.This truck has depreciated in value $3000 in 4 months. So all in all I lost $6000 by owning this vehicle for a little over 1yr. There was a recall on the brake lights,this truck should be recalled all together.My mechanic advised me to get rid of it asap.Im trading it in and taking the loss so I dont face another $6000 loss next year.

  A Let Down! - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By A Let Down! - November 24 - 5:13 pm

  The sunroof has been replaced twice so far. Drivers seat belt pretensioner replaced twice and seat belt light comes on when belt is buckled! The key cylinder in the read cargo door fell out and had to be replaced. Seats are hard to keep clean. I expected better from Land Rover and am now afraid to buy the new LR-2!

  Roving the Rockies - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By AL Lan Madrogoran - November 24 - 2:00 am

  The Land Rover Freelander is a great deal for the money. I would like a little more power especially for the gas miliage.

  Disappointed Buyer - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By Sadly Disappointed - November 17 - 6:16 pm

  I absolutely love the look of my Freelander inside and out. However, I am disappointed at the ergonomics. I am only 55" and I constantly hit my head getting in and out of the vehicle. Also, in order to reach the pedals I have to sit so far forward that I cannot use the armrest and the sunroof ends up behind me. Also, if I put the sunvisor down I cant see out the front windshield. I have only had my Freelander since January 29th but I am looking at trading it in for something else. This is very frustrating because I spent months researching vehicles but apparently not long enough to get something good!

  NIGHTMARE ON WHEELS - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By n - November 16 - 12:33 am

  If you own this car you need to run, not walk to trade it in! Do a little research and you will be sick. This car turned evil out of nowhere. There is a defect in the cooling system that should have been recalled and cant be fixed. I was stuck without a car for nearly 2mnths because of this devil. Had no choice but to have it repoed, because the cost of repair is equal to what I owe...not that it can be fixed anyways! Took it to 4 different foreign shops and they dont want anything to do with it. Now Im stuck having to file bankruptcy over this mess. I would hate to see anyone go through this, wish I would of done some research before buying Land Rover.

  Another Bad Review - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Cono - November 11 - 1:40 am

  Purchased this vehicle as a certified used for my wife to drive. The vehicle was covered under warranty until 03/2008, at which point I knew its days were limited. Weve repaired a door sensor ($400) and coolant leak ($700)within the last 8 months. Luckily, we just traded the unit, but only before the vehicle needed a $700 wheel bearing repair. We were lucky. Read the other consumer reviews.

  First Impressions - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Chai - October 31 - 10:00 am

  My wife and I happened upon the Freelander in the 2002 Vancouver Auto Show. The deal clincher occured when we test- drove through a demanding off-road track - it blew the other mini-SUV competition (RAV4, CRV, Escape) away. Then the on-road handling was also extremely impressive, hugging the road on fairly tight turns (although not as good as the Audi A4 or BMW 325i but better than the mini-SUV competition). The ride is quiet and very comfortable. We did ourselves a favour and got the wood trim, which greatly improved the appearence of the dash. More detailed review after driving it for a month.

  LANDROVER HORROR SHOW - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By WEREFOUR - October 27 - 10:00 am

  HOW DO YOU SELL A USED CAR AS NEW? ASK THE FOLKS AT LANDROVER. THE SALESMAN TOLD ME IT WAS A NEW DEMO/LOANER CAR WITH 4800 MILES,BUT I FOUND OUT LATER THAT HE NEGLECTED TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS PREVIOUSLY REGISTERED BY THEM. THE SERVICE DEPT. ROAD TESTED IT 50+ MILES EACH TIME I BROUGHT IT IN FOR WARRANTY.THE FIRST TIME I LEFT IT, THE SERVICE DEPT. KEPT IT FOR 4 DAYS OVER THE WEEKEND AND WHEN I GOT IT BACK SOMEONE HAD SMOKED IN MY CAR AND BLEW OUT MY SPEAKERS. I COMPLAINED TO CUSTOMER RELATIONS AT LANDROVER AND IM STILL WAITING FOR THEM TO GET BACK TO ME.(THAT WAS 4/01/04).THE CAR NEEDS FRONT BRAKES EVERY 15000 MILES.DONT BUY IT LIKE I DID. LEASE IT.
