The Only Tank Built Freelander? - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By 1st FREELANDER - March 15 - 11:03 pmI must be very lucky to have gotten the miles out of my Freelander, even though its dying quickly now. Recently the transmission lost 2nd gear (just skips right over it now) and the sunroof wont open, and the AC just died. However this Freelander was the first one sold in my state and has had a heck of a great run. Currently with 224,550 miles on it (not a typo), I refuse to put money into it at this stage in its life, so I guess its time to part. After reading everyones issues with this Land Rover model, I feel like I should fix it up and sell it to the Land Rover museum.

Dont even think about it. - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By T031569 - March 9 - 4:16 amThis SUV has been nothing but a real headache. It has been serviced more times than I care to remember. You have to have deep pockets to fix anything that goes wrong on this. The transmission has given me issues, the radio was replaced twice, the rear door lock was replaced twice, traction control and service engine lights stay on, the vehicle always need rotors and brakes. One headache after another, the list just goes on and on. Rethink your decision to buy this expensive lemon.

You better have cash - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By titan9 - March 2 - 2:50 amYou can pick this little SUV up for a good price these days. Dont let the price trick you, Its a Land Rover. Land Rovers are a high end SUV. You cant stop at the local quick lube and the get oil changed, they dont have a filter to fit it. They cost a ton to keep up, electrical problems, tranny problems, over heating problems. If you buy this SUV, you are going to have problems with it. Is it worth it for you to drive a Land Rover? I sold mine after 18 months and took a beating.

British View - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
By Eddie - February 16 - 5:00 pmHi Guys I have had a 1.8 Petrol engine manual for two years the only problem I have had is the three lights for ABS/TC & HD Kept lighting it took three attempts to fix the fault but after that I have enjoyed every moment with the car. I have found that over Mud and rough terrain this thing never lets me down. There are a few issues I have like the front seats are not very comfy for long drives but other than that the car is OK. I have done 20,000 miles in mine I have not had to replace the tires and Brakes as yet. I will be replacing this one with a New Diesel next week with an Auto engine.

It would be nice, if itd start. - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By Laura E. - February 15 - 2:00 amI purchased this vehicle in January of 2007. It ran fine for a few months but then started experiencing every problem you could imagine. Would jolt from 1st to 2nd gear. Electrical issues were vast. Vehicle rarely started. I could get up and drive it to work but then once you turn it off, it wouldnt turn back on - say if you forgot your cell at home, etc. Was temperamental. The air from the vents stunk like pickles.

Worst Car Ever Seriously!!!!!!! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
By wildcats_fan - February 12 - 5:23 amAfter owning one and spending thousands I couldnt begin to describe how bad these Freelanders actually are. If you read this and think your getting a good deal on one then take my advice and run.. Its a known fact that they are a ticking time bomb. I waisted thousands on it and never once felt as if I were going to make it to the next destination without it breaking down. If you really want to know how bad it really was... 17 trips to Landrover and that was under Waranty. After the warranty expired I spent about seven thousand on it at local repair shops and it was literally falling apart the day I traded it off. I was one of the lucky ones and actually got rid of it before it blew up....

Piece of Junk with a Fancy Cover - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By Kathryn - February 7 - 3:13 pmAt 61,000 miles, I had to replace the heating matrix for $2100 (car broke down on side of road). At 67,488 miles, I had a manifold issue that (luckily) was replaced under the CA emissions warranty, or I would have paid $1700 (almost broke down). Now, at 70, 777 miles, my timing belt busted (broke down on side of road) and Land Rover is saying that, despite their scheduled maintenance at 72,000 when they replace the belt, its my problem - regardless of the fact the belt busted before the company- mandated replacement mileage. Two tow- truck drivers have told me that they love people who own these cars. They make their biggest profits off Land Rover owners. Do not waste your money.

Feeling like one of societys elite. - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By la forno - February 5 - 10:00 amCollege grads. like myself or folks just getting into a good paying job can now afford to buy what was once a well- off persons brand and the 30K price tag is well worth the admission. Not quite the upper echelon of SUVs, but far above the "standard" ones built for the "Honda Accord/Civic & Toyota Camry" masses.

Value?...yes...performance?...somewhat - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By estoril - February 5 - 10:00 amOwned for 2 months already and asked if I love it, then my answer would be no, if I like it, then my answer would be yes. For the price you get a ton of standard features lacking in other vehicles of the same price (bigger mid- sized sport utes being inclusive also.) I always dreamed of the day when I would be able to afford a Range Rover HSE, but build quality and price stopped me before from purchasing ANY Land Rover. Now once owned by Ford and BMW, LR has improved vastly in ALL areas. Starting with its baby brother the Freelander I would have to say that my expectations of the LR name have not disappointed thus far with the exception of the engine.

Great Small SUV - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By Spesh - January 24 - 2:00 amHandles great for an SUV and stops on a dime. Good looks outside, simple inside, but functional. Awesome in foul weather and limited off-road use so far. Great SUV, some minor complaints.
