  Overall a satisfying vehicle - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By California buyer - March 30 - 7:30 am

  I love my Freelander for its interior styling and reliability. It does have some quirks, such as the brakes make a subtle noise when I come to a stop but I am getting that checked out. Otherwise, I am very satisfied with my car. Its fun to drive and I feel safe in it.

  Freelander SE3 - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Scottocs15 - March 26 - 10:00 am

  All in all a great vehicle. It looks flashy(people at gas stations will come up to you and ask about it), and drives extremely well. The interior is nice, although it could use some improvements.

  A total lemon - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By PeterJ4 - March 21 - 5:06 pm

  Leasing this car has been an absolute nightmare! From the brakes to the electronics, from the sunroof to the stereo, everything on my vehicle has needed to be repaired. LR North America rushed this vehicle to market and consumers have paid the price. Totals lemons! Land Rover could learn a lot from Honda about customer service and customer retention. Would- be Land Rover owners, BEWARE! My warranty just expired and LR refuses to fix my defective sunroof even though this is known to be a common defect.

  Rovin with my Lil Rover - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By emprise411 - March 21 - 10:00 am

  Extremely pleased with the vehicle. Fun to drive, great comfort in seating, handling fine (not truck-like) for an SUV! Dealer treatment, though have the cheaper of the LRs, is exceptional! Good pick-up and acceleration, good braking, and I find I have plenty of cargo space for my needs! Nothing to dislike about this vehicle--so far!

  The little Rover - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By biz816 - March 18 - 3:10 am

  It has never broke down on me yet, but I have been to the dealer for a lot of little stuff (engine lights, window, wipers, speakers). Overall I love the car it drives great, and looks amazing. I cant complain about the problems I have had, since I have driven hard in the past 3.5 years. I love the Rover line and plan to buy again another rover soon.

  My Land Rover is a paper wieght - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Lo Lo - March 7 - 6:40 pm

  At 42 thousand miles my engine needed to be replaced. 2 thousand miles after the warrenty was ended. I looked on line and found this to be a cronic problem. Several webite dedicated to Freelander that were lemons sonme had replaced the engine 2 or three times. All my service was done at the dealership. After the engine was replaced the car overheated again. The dealership said the headbolts needed to tightened (cant belive they had the nerve to tell me that)...I am scared to drive this car.. Do some research .. dont buy one

  Know what you are buying - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By steve - February 12 - 3:36 am

  I owned luxury cars before I purchased my SE3. I knew that I was getting a 4x4 first and luxury wasnt going to be there. What I found is that it is fun to drive, reliable and a real head turner. If you buy it knowing what you are getting then you probably wont be disappointed. If you buy a freelander cause it looks pretty and you want a "luxury" suv, then you will be disappointed.

  Run - Run Far Away - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By Nichol - February 8 - 9:23 am

  Expensive Lemon City - Major electrical issues with engine. Left me stranded 2x for over 6 hrs waiting for LR road side assistance. Radio broke 2x, brakes squeal like pigs, air conditioner poured water on front passengers feet and spit water thru vents. Engine still smells like it is burning despite mechanics check 2x. Everyone hits head getting into car including 50" ft sister. Stabilizing bar feels off - heard others had problems here. Rear tailgate window drops when car is off, key out & no one is near. Took in 4 repair & mechanics didnt reinstall my rear door lock - took 2 wks for LR 2 fix it. They acted like it was my fault. Not nearly enough luggage space - 2 suitcases MAX.

  2004 Fl hse...Great!!! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By gjrugby - January 23 - 5:40 am

  We traded in our 02 Acura TL-S for this pre-owned 04 FL HSE with very low miles, and we have not looked back since! Aside from not having a dealer close by, there is really nothing to complain about. My wife drives her to work everyday and she loves it. I get to drive her on the weekends and if we go out (instead of driving my gas- guzzling Tahoe). We have not had any serious weather, but I am looking forward to driving it in snow, possibly make a roadtrip to Colorado for that. Basically like everyone else has said; cup holders, interior is a bit cramped, but all-in-all a great, quality vehicle that is easy at the pumps. Also has the safety of AWD when needed. GREAT SUV!!!!!

  Free Lander / Compared to the rest - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Off-Roader - January 10 - 10:00 am

  Okay....Ive read allot of the BS people like to talk about and i thinks its pretty funny...Ive had this car since January 2002, and what can i say. I own 2 Landrovers including a new Range rover and an old defender 90...This car is a little expensive for whats its worth, considering a little more will buy u a Discovery...I tested this car in the mountains of vancouver and i have taken it to many ski trips. If you are even thinking of comparing this to a Jeep or even toyota, you are crazy...The off road capabilities on this car is amazing....if ur looking for onroad capabilities then go buy a minivan...
