The Critics are WRONG! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
By Stefan King - July 13 - 1:36 pmCritics of this cool little SAV were WRONG. I signed the dotted line to purchase, then read the reviews and became nervous. All of my fears were unwarranted. Performance? Spirited performance is how Land Rover describes it and theyre 100% right. True, its a small displacement V6 which means that the upper rpm range is where the fun is! Leave the shifter in SPORT mode and FUN. Mash the throttle from the light and it zips from 0-60 in 8 seconds. Try this in a Trailblazer. Handling is very good in dry and especially wet weather. It loves the curves and handles them with confidence. Sluggish at times? Top speed was around 125 - left a Tahoe a Navigator and a Civic Si in the dust!

Total Testimony! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
By TN J - July 12 - 10:00 amMy Freelander had 9600 miles when I got it (Demo Model), and now it has 48756. Ive been on long trips of 1800+ miles and Yes Ive gone on the Land Rover sponsered 4WD trips. Off-road its traction control system was 100% soild. In town the ride was very comfortable (I loved the high seat position very comfy on the knees on long trips). If your over 60" you might have head room problems.On 09/2004 while driving on a local hwy I had a major accident rolling the Freelander 6 to 8 times going 60+ MPH. The Freelander all things concidered held up great! I crawled out of the wreck with one tiny cut on my face, and minor bruises. Very Impressive!

Freelander - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
By dhranitzky - July 12 - 10:00 amA joy to drive, handles like a dream, accelerates very well in spite of the V6, and it always turns heads. The only complaint I have with the car is that it gets surprisingly poor mileage for a V6.

Love this Small and Sporty SUV - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
By joncourage - July 8 - 12:26 pmWeve really enjoyed having our Freelanders (2 2004s). We enjoyed the first so much we bought a second. Its a sporty, competent, and sharp- looking little SUV. It rides great as a commuter, and handles off-road (in our case beach and woods) adeptly. Id feel confident going just about anywhere in it. Weve put a decent amount of mileage on it and have had only a handful of very minor problems. We find the car comfortable and well- designed, although its smaller size limit its carrying capacity. We bought a roof cargo carrier to help compensate.

Junking it! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By Indistress - July 4 - 6:23 amBought the truck with 17K miles for $17K, thought it was a good deal for a Landrover. At 35K Miles the Engine needed replacement and now at 73K Miles the Transmission is slipping and needs replacement. Radio is shot. Sunroof was replaced twice. Brakes AND Roters wear easily. Maintanance is costly. Would not recommend buying any of the Landrover vehicles after their latest Consumer Report Reviews. Company should be taken out of business for the quality of their vehicles...THere is nothing luxurious about them....

One Year Later, Still Love the Rover! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By Chad Starling - June 28 - 10:00 amIve had the Freelander (S) for a year (12000 miles) now and havent had anything major go wrong. At about 5 months, the heated windshield had to be replaced due to a factory flaw, but it was taken care of quickly and at no cost, so not a hassle at all! Love the way it rides on and off road and was surprised at how capable it was off road the first time.

Think Twice - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By Kross98 - June 16 - 9:20 pmI thought buying a Land Rover would mean minimal problems but this vehicle has given me more headaches than any vehicle Ive ever owned. Bought it used in 04 and have had it in the shop at least 10 times since. Mostly mechanical problems such as window malfunctions, door locks, etc. Have problems with it starting on occasion but LR says they cant find a problem. Very disappointed with the reliability of this SUV and usually disappointed with the customer service as well. Think twice before buying this vehicle.

Winner of Our 10-Vehicle Drive-Off! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By j!m - May 17 - 10:00 amWe spent a month researching the 17 vehicles in this category, and test- drove 10in a multi-round drive-off; this one had the best balance of on- and off-road capability, and ultimately, off-road performance was the decider. Traction Control, in particular, has already carried us through five spots where other vehicles without it got stuck. Dealer-sponsored outings are great, and we held our own with ~20 Discoverys on medium-rated trails with rocks, steep grades, water crossings, and soft sand; most of all, the Freelander is FUN, FUN, FUN to drive!

Dont buy - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By jin - May 8 - 10:00 amThis vehicle has nothing but problems since day one. The extended warranty helped but the car has been a money pit. It is in the shop every two months, engine light is always on, this time the time belts had to be changed at 46,000 miles. Electrical problems abound, Fuel economy is terrible, interior design is a joke and as stated reliability is very poor. It has cost more to maintain this vehicle that what it cost to buy.

WATCH OUT! - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
By SCREWED - May 4 - 2:10 pmWatch out! I had two freelanders (first replaced it was so bad), seccond one in shop all the time. Land Rover Customer service is horrible, they refuse to work with you at all. Bad Transmission, failed windshield wipers,seat came off rails (twice), sound system failed, windows stopped working, Brakes squeek, streeing wheel squeeks, engine rattles....... They never even attempted to make it right. I even had strangers come up to me and ask if mine was as bad as theirs. I think they rated as one of the worst SUVs in the world.
