Freelander Rocks !!!
My family and I are quite enamored with this car. It is the perfect size for our needs. We looked at other small SUV's and the Freelander was our favorite, HANDS DOWN ! It is great looking and a pleasure to drive. The ride is smooth and it handles superbly.( It is the perfect ski mobile). The sound system is of high quality. The car attracts a lot of attention. In summary, the Freelander is worth the money.

What was Land Rover thinking?! I have replaced the engine, transmission, heater core, thermostat, exhaust plenum, rear window actuator (twice) and have had my car in the shop longer than I've been able to drive it! Land Rover will not take responsibility for this mistake of a vehicle. I was told the engine broke because the valves bent. They built the engine with "Interference valves" meaning they do interfere. If they are slightly off, the pistons will smash into them, causing them to brake- causing you to need a new engine. I only have 60,000 miles on mine and have spen more repairing it than I owe on it. Does anyone know of any class action lawsuits? Because I am on board.
Freelander solved a major problem!
I just brought a freeland and think it rocks! The Nissan Exterra is TOTAL CRAP compared to this! Also, Land Rover solved a major problem that I had! Most 4x'4's you have to shift into 4 wheel drive mode. When you do not use it much the gera get dried out and it stops working right! With this it is full time 4 wheel drive and thus the above problem is sloved!
So far, so very good!
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 driver's 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 Freelander's 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. Can't wait to try it off road.
