Used 2002 Land Rover Freelander Consumer Reviews
Perfect size for Mom, Baby and Outdoors
After my husbands safari-equipped Discovery and driving many traditional SUV's... the Freelander meets all of our needs WITHOUT the worry of fitting in a parking garage. Dollar for dollar the Freelander makes the most financial sense... It drives like a passenger car, has the off-road capability of its brothers and can handle a family of four with all the gear accordingly.... additionally, aside from the service you can expect to find associated with the Land Rover name it is always nice to know your vehicle is not another cookie-cut product found in every garage in America.
Do Not Buy a Freelander
Worst vehicle I've ever had. Bloated dealer service, brakes need replacing every 10k miles ($400 if dealer does it), uncomfortable seats unless you are 5'1", no real S or U in an SUV. I've owned Honda CRV, Audi A4, Nissan Maxima, Nissan Truck and Hyundai Excel - all were far better than this. This the worst vehicle mistake I hope to ever make. Buy something else!

Junking it!
Bought 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....
Just leased a week ago
I have had it one week and it has already been in the shop. My driver side mirror was scratched....they broke the scratched mirror removing it and then broke the new mirror installing it. So, they kept my new car over July 4th and then I picked it up yesterday. I drove off and then realized that the new mirror is distorted....great work guys. It is annoying and if I hadn't already taken the car off road and loved how it handled....I would be way more upset. Luckily, they gave me a great sports car as a rental while they fixed my mirror (the 1st time)....we'll see what happens on Monday.
fun little car
I really enjoy this car. I have had a pathfinder and I love the automatic four wheel drive of the freelander. I also really like the size...it is not too large and yet it is small enough to easily park anywhere. Wind noise and the sunroof mechanism is a bit annoying. I have had the car in 3 times for the sunroof...either not closing or not moving at all. My engine makes a clicking sound...the dealer told me it was low oil...I don't know if trust them. Dealer otherwise has been A+.
