  Wow! - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By miaheartless - April 20 - 12:37 am

  I love my Freelander... Great for winter weather, mountain terrain driving. Geared low, handles amazing in snow and icy conditions. The only repairs other than normal wear for me have been two sensors. The most expensive repair costed less at a small shop, Walts in Gig Harbor, WA than the regular service at Land Rover and it was for the thermostat control sensor (going on memory for title of part). On the other hand, not the car you want for consistant high miles, highway driving. Driving like I have to now is a waste of this vehicle. Ive taken it through some scary bad weather including road closures and thats where it excels!

  Worst Car Ive Ever Leased. - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By baradlee - April 18 - 12:30 pm

  This SUV is designed wrong, assembled wrong and just is not worth the money. And to top if off, the dealership mechanics are unskilled ans shoddy AND Land Rover could care less. 3 Sets of front brake pads & 2 sets of rotors, by 16,000 miles. Complete transmission failure(flatbed) at 26,000 miles. Thermostat leaked and was replaced at 27,000 miles. Door hinges broke, windows fell out their tracks, cupholders broke, sunroof broke. The A/C is a noisy, worthless piece of junk. Fuel Economy 13 city, 17 Hwy NO LIE! And this thing is a DOG! Cant wait to be rid of the darn thing.

  SUV that Leaks Water!!! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Joe Muratore - April 6 - 10:00 am

  Weve had our Freelander in the shop more than on the road! It took 4 tries to get the radio to work and were on our 6th trip to get the roof from leaking - dealer cant find the problem. Weve been told by friends to start the "lemon law" but we dont want to wait out the process. Although the dealership has been nice, they havent been honest or competent!

  Nothing but a headache!! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Woodstock36 - March 27 - 10:30 pm

  It will get you out of just about anything weather wise. Very expensive to fix, called land rover dealer $125.00 an hour for labor, not to mention the parts. Its a great SUV if you have tons of money to sink into it. 56,000 miles, both back windows are broke, keep falling down, back door closed, never to reopen, screaming belt, hanging muffler, now to top it off, its overheating, after sitting just a few min. In 40 degree weather. I have found this situation disheartening, that they would make such a nicely designed vehicle but such poor quality. I have had many vehicles, and have never had so many things go wrong like this, I would expect these things with 100,000 miles on it, maybe even more

  Tons of repairs - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By freelander25 - March 19 - 3:30 am

  I purchased a used "02 freelander in "05. After 1 year the transmission had to be replaced. Then the A/C broke. Then a couple other valves. The two back rear doors broke, they could only be opened from the inside. The rear drivers side window doesnt open. The only plus are the seat warmers. I would not recommend this purchase.

  Fun Yet Parctical Car - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Hanaburgh - March 19 - 2:00 am

  I have had this car for well over a year and have not once regretted my decision. After test-driving numerous all wheel drive vehicles, the superb on- road handling and true off-road capability convinced me that the Freelander was really the best of both worlds. It is fun to drive, reasonably economical (especially for an SUV), and mine has not yet gotten stuck in mud or snow. Most importantly, it handles the Maine winters with ease, even when the plows are too busy keeping up with the major roads to bother with my sparsely populated neck of the woods.

  like the style; interior/exterior. ok handling. build quality not so good; ratle noise from sunroof and from the rear. in the summer, water sprayed out from the air vent when a/c turn on. In the winter smells of antifreeze when heat turn on.

  Freelander 2005 - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By lakewood - February 11 - 5:16 am

  I goofed or did I? I did not test drive the car I took home. I expected regardless of color, they would all work the same. This is idealistic. My transmission had an intermittent problem. Actually, I did not goof. The factory is repsonsible, not me, to deliver a working product. Could a 5 mile test drive identify something...maybe. For the average person, it would not.

  Freeloader not Freelander - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By D - January 23 - 9:26 pm

  Felt like a solid vehicle initially, but it all went down hill real quick. Poor quality and no reliability. The dealer has had to replace an ECU, the transmission, rear window motor(both), hoses, and the list goes on. I owned this vehicle for only 4 months and I drove it maybe 10 times...Land Rover techs have driven it more than me..but thanks for the 06 LR3..that was pretty much the car I drove during my 4 mos with the Freelander..I mean Freeloader
