  Very satisfied - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By MonkeyDriver - February 1 - 5:03 pm

  I am absolutely in love with my Land Rover Freelander and have recommended it to many. For me, the ride and its ability surpass any shortcomings. Particularly its weight and gas mileage. I highly recommend this vehicle.

  Oops I purchased a Freelandrover - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By steenberg - January 23 - 7:03 pm

  Having now read all the reviews, I no longer feel alone. Day 2, my Landy was back in the shop, transmission replacement parts, repair 1 week. Brakes and rotors at oil change frequency. Consistent electrical problems. Coolant leak in side the care under drivers door mat. Non stop transmission problems, vibration on acceleration. 2 months after the first coolant leak, the same problem. Battery died. Electrical window problems. I have extended warranty and am $100 out, sick of taking the car back to the dealer. Car is not reliable. Dealer has been excellent! This year I have driven a rental car more than my own car, is this a lemon?

  Its A Lemon!!!!!! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander

  This suv was a lemon. It spent more time getting fixed then being driven! Land Rover didnt stand behind their product!

  Fun Car but reliability? - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Adam The Ant - December 30 - 2:00 am

  Great Suv for playing hard! But the reliability of the Suv leaves a lot to be desired. In my first year alone a new transmission and 2 oil leaks expected to be the main seal but dealer will not say exactly what it is.

  Great Little SUV - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By JK - December 23 - 4:46 am

  This is a great little SUV - its definitely not a huge vehicle for hauling lots of stuff, but you know that when youre looking at a smaller SUV. We have owned this HSE for one year and it has handled very well in the snow, on a frozen lake and in general traffic. The disign is much improved over previous versions and it is generally a fun car to drive for the price.

  Silver Freelander SE - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Reid - December 20 - 10:53 am

  Engineering "work-of-art". Quality build, exceeds my expectations in every area. Exceedingly good ride and handling. Excellent off road traction. Bigger than it looks though lacks large cargo area. Will likely stick with a Land Rover product. Highly Recommended!

  Money Pit - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By bethannsw - December 11 - 12:03 pm

  This car is a money pit. Bought it as the only car for our family of 4. Fabulous in snow, but bad for your wallet. $3000 to repair massive coolant leaks, new fuel pump, ball bearing (??) needs replaced amongst other things. Check engine light is on and vehicle is shaking and barely running. Ive only had it 2 yrs and it has 70K miles on it. There should be a large law suit filed against Land Rover for this vehicle as it seems to have the same problems and even the Land Rover dealerships tell you its a horrible car. Shame on you Land Rover!

  Been there done that - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Shermie - December 9 - 9:53 am

  Purchased a brand new Freelander and it is the only regret I have in my life. So you can assume exactly what kind of ownership experience my family and I had to endure for over 5 years. When the motor finally dies at 58Kmiles, and the transmission had been slipping for 1 year, the car still smelled brand new when it was sold for scrap parts. Never ever buy a Freelander, unless you have a high tolerance for a cheaply built, outsourced funky japanese tranny and a Chiness built motor with epoxy glue holding the cylinder sleeves together. The 5 years of missing coolant was nothing compared to what this car did to my life and finances. Pure junk.

  Whats in a Name - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By palumbon - December 5 - 10:00 am

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

  Sams - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By srice - December 1 - 2:00 am

  Looked at Mazda Tribune, Jeep Liberty, Ford Escape...all same price range, and Freelander has less cargo space, less towing and smaller engine. We chose freelander because of financing options, all wheel drive system, looks and we will not be towing much.
