  "Youll Stand out in a crowd" - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Art Teacher - August 4 - 2:00 am

  Drives and rides like a car but goes of road like a truck. This vehicle is much improved over the 2003 and earlier. If you are looking for a small SUV that gets 20+ miles to the gallon and can be easily maneuvered in a parking lot, this is it.

  Finally paid for & it died! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Mary - July 29 - 11:33 pm

  Three weeks after we bought it NEW - it blew a head gasket. Dealer of course fixed it but it never had the initial power quality again. Then the many recalls -overheating - then the hill descent started coming on at inappropriate times - dealer could not find anything wrong - dash lights flashing - tires wearing out much too quickly/noisy. Finally paid it off & at 75,000 miles the transmission goes. Anyone needs parts?? Oh thats right - there arent any worth selling!!!

  Love it, bought another - 2004 Land Rover Freelander

  Great on-road ride, good for commuting - stable, quiet, smooth, plenty of power. Off-road beach driving is a dream, barely know youre off-road. Styling, both ext and int, is right up our alley - conservative yet modern, comfortable, masculine but not over- the-top.

  consumer nightmare - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By brian brickey - July 9 - 4:50 pm

  The vehicle is fun to drive and handles well in adverse weather conditions.BUT it has a few problems, like the brakes wear out faster than any other vehicle you only get about 24000 miles out of a set of brakes and i dont do a whole lot of braking. I came to find out from other freelander owners that the brakes tend to heat up fast and then it set off your traction control warning. it tends to create more of a problem in the summer.The gas mileage for an suv this size is not the greatest.one of the biggest problems is you can only get the filter from a landrover dealer you just cant take it to the nearest jiffy lube to have your oil changed.it also doesnt have alot of room for car seats .

  too bad - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By vsgbad - June 30 - 9:53 pm

  I thought I was buying quality when I went to land rover, but that didnt work out. The car rattles, the driverseat is uncomfortable, I bump my head on the ceiling, the engine is lazy, the steering stinks, the boot is far to snall. I wish I had gone for the Santa Fe, but I was afraid of poor quality.

  So far, so very good! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By SCRUM HALF - June 21 - 10:00 am

  This car is everything I wanted in a min-SUV and more. Only a couple minor complaints. First, watch your head when you get in. I have to remember to duck. Second, the drivers seat is fixed in vertical position. There is not much extra head room once you are in, and the rear-view mirror blocks a large portion of your outside field-of-view. Takes some getting used to. That said, the Freelanders on-road handling is superb. It drives like a sports car, and it seems to have plenty of power for my needs, even fully loaded with the family. It cost a little more than I wanted to spend, but I definitely feel bathed in luxury. Cant wait to try it off road.

  Lemons - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By Lynne - June 9 - 7:20 pm

  I love my Freelander, but damn reliability sucks! Brakes and rotors $500.00 every 6 months. Oil changes $120.00. Car is a gas guzzler add another $75.00 a wk. Come on Landrover, its a Freelander not a range Rover and a regular station wont touch them. My car had anti freeze smell from vents. They say reservoir, I say heater core cover up. Sunroof replaced 2 times. Car towed in twice once ignition switch, second coils. Strange clicking from dash sounds electrical (they cant duplicate, "anyone have an idea?) they told me they are having a ton of problems with this vehicle and not to let my warranty runn out. Im thinking of paying it off and selling it. Lately I sell my cars every two yrs for lemons.

  I regret buying this car - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Nela Alvarez-Sotomay - May 12 - 6:20 pm

  I always wonder if its going to work when I start it. Things that have gone wrong with this vehicle are: New Brakes (twice @ $800), Wipers, Air Bags, Fuel line, Radio
