  Youll get to know the service guy - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Dave - March 11 - 3:50 pm

  This car is very fun to drive and is a blast with the top off. The problem is keeping it out of the service department. The windshield wipers failed twice, windshield washer once, one recall for brake lights. The car wouldnt start at all the 2d day I had it & had to be towed back to the dealer, & problems with the transmission. The key is to enjoy it and then get rid of it before the warranty expires.

  Acknowledge the faults - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By VI Rover - March 6 - 11:23 am

  Eight months after getting my dream car I experienced transmision prolbems, got it fixed and now 5 year later I need a new transmission again. I have had to replace all the door/window acturators and issues with the brakes. I love the car, its fun when it works well. The A/C doesnt cool the entire car properly. LANDROVER acknowledge the faults and give remedy to the owners.

  My Freelander Experience - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By sarahjane24 - February 24 - 1:11 pm

  Though I loved this car, it was NOT a good investment. My 2003 landrover had one problem after another. The 4 years I had it, I easily put over a thousand dollars each year for repairs. Land Rover parts are EXPENSIVE. I had TWO new engines within 4 years (thank god for warranty). I also had to replace multiple window motors, a muffler, the starter, pumps, axels...the list goes on. The repairs dont seem like big repairs, but these parts are NOT cheap. Unfortunately, a deer ran into my drivers side and TOTALED it. It seemed insane! The damage was moderate Id say. But because its so expensive to fix...my baby is gone.

  After 30 Years - My First Land Rover - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By LingP - February 20 - 10:00 am

  I grew up in England and had always wanted a Land Rover. A good friend used to take me to the pub in a Series II which I loved. Despite its cute ute looks, I am pleased to report that the Freelander made it up the horse trails in the hills at our farm in Vermont very handily. The hill descent control was a little hair raising at first but quite fun once I got used to it. Overall, a nice machine.

  My complaints - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Jonathan - February 17 - 5:03 pm

  My Landrover is now dead for 85,000 miles. It can not run anymore. The mechanics of Landrover cannot find the problem by diagnostics alone. They have to open the engine to find out but not a guarantee that they will find it. How STUPID this Landrover diagnostics is. Landrover should terminate the Engineer who built this STUPID car diagnostics computer. The service advisor told me that the only thing that can fix my car is to replace the whole engine which will cost me $8,000 plus labor and tax.

  Loved mine for 5.5 years! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By marylouise - February 11 - 12:50 am

  I got mine new in Aug 2002 and have loved it ever since. the only thing to go wrong was the heater 3 yrs ago and they fixed it, no chg. Brakes need regular maintenance as its a heavy car. Love the way mine looks and handles but it doesnt have much initial pick-up. ive had all the scheduled maintenance and am pleased with overall performance. I got a good one!

  Smooth and simple - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By facet - December 27 - 2:00 am

  The ride of the Freelander is fantastic. It handles snow and ice without a hitch. I have taken it through 20 inches of unplowed snow, it did not have any problems. The AWD system works well.

  all-around awesome! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By ENVfernandez2453 - December 3 - 2:00 am

  this car is an amazing buy! completely worth your while if purchasing as a first car for a teen in high school or heading to college. it has all the great aspects about an SUV and the luxury appeal land rover adds on. the SE3 model is a sure fire win, with its removable back the car seems more like a jeep than an SUV. overall, very good

  BIG mistake! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By ihatelandrover - December 2 - 9:03 pm

  Purchasing this vehicle was the worst mistake I have ever made. A coolant leak caused me to need a new engine after only 50K miles. Land Rover fought me tooth and nail over this, although they admit that this was a factory defect. It took 2 months to get a new engine (at considerable cost to me, even with the extended warranty). This is the second Land Rover that died on me. This car also ate brakes and, like many Freelanders, the sunroof broke an hour after I drove it off the lot. This vehicle was not worth the money that I put into it. The poor quality of Land Rover customer and sales service only made the experience worse. I will never consider a Land Rover again.
