  Be careful!!! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By GAM - April 9 - 10:00 am

  I have 7,000 miles on a 04 HSE and since I bought it there have been whining noises not heard on other Freelanders i have driven. Land Rovers Regional representatives reply..."the noises are to acceptable standards." My answer...Lemon Law. It is a fine ride. the loaner I am returning right now is superb in handling and ride however mine is not so test drive whatever FL you plan on buying for at least 2 days, and drive it at 70MPH to make sure you do not land up as I have. Also visit the "Freelander Living" web site for more info about potential problems.

  Sporty European fun - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By beach bum - April 9 - 10:00 am

  Fun car to drive. Abundance of standard technical and performance features. Handling is superb. Dealership experience is excellent. My first SUV. I love the convertable and sporty feel/look. Good A/C - important in Miami. Handles well in heavy rain. Turns heads in South Beach. Easy to drive and to park. Wish I had it back in California.

  A Terrible Car - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Jake - April 4 - 4:26 am

  This is a terrible car! One month after I bought it the timing belt breaks and I spend $ 500 getting a new one put in. The next month, the motor needs to be checked again, another $600 bucks spent on it! I was driving it in manual one day and the transmission loses all gears except for park and neutral. And I was on the interstate at rush hour, the car gets towed overnight because the tow truck wont bring it to my house, Land Rover wants me to spend $1000 bucks getting the tranny rebuilt, the Hyundai dealer where I bought it said to just sell it which I did to my brother for $200 because he would fix it someday. Bad SUV for anybody.

  Sonnys review - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Sonny L - April 2 - 10:00 am

  Starts without any hesitation. Firm but solid ride and able to keep up with traffic during interstate driving. The Freelander handles extremely well in bad weather and poor driving conditions. A/C could be improved - it takes a while for the interior to cool.

  What a GEM! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By babbs - April 2 - 10:00 am

  This is my first SUV, previously I have owned Saabs, Audis, and a BMW. My Freelander handles as well or even better than any of my cars ever have. I receive many compliments on the look of the car. I feel extremely safe driving in all conditions, it handles well in all weather. It stops on a dime, and has excellent turning capabilities for an SUV. I will always own a Freelander. The performance, reliability, warranty, style make it a must have for anybody and any lifestyle. Perfect for someone that wants an SUV without feeling like you are driving a huge car.

  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..

  By GearJam - March 19 - 6:53 pm

  Oh, lets see.. Ive put 4500 miles on my Freelander since purchase, and have spent MORE in repair bills than I payed for the car. Transmission- Failed.Transfer Case-Failed. Engine- failing.A/c,Sunroof, Power Door locks, failed, failed, failed. 84K on the clock so far, and if I ever see my Rover again, shes getting traded for a Jeep Wrangler, No questions about it no more Land Rover Products are in my future.

  I LOVE my freelander - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By cross-country - March 8 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my Freelander in May of 2003 and have driven from the East coast to the West coast and back again, stuffed full of possessions and a very drooly dog. I found that it had everything I needed to deal with the mountains, the desert, and the cross- country trip. I also find it to be quite efficient around town. It is lythe enough to handle Los Angeles traffic at rush hour, while being sturdy enough to deal with big rigs on the interstate.
