BRITS REVENGE FOR THE REVOLUTION

I got this vehicle for a good price but I still kick myself for not buying a CRV. The sunroof was replaced twice, brakes were replaced twice, and now the transmission is gone, BUT we have an extended warranty. One note on the front brakes, I am trying the Powerstop brakes and rotors, and I'm hoping that will fix that problem. Overall Land Rover of Albuquerque has treated me good, and honored all warranty work. Land Rover of Albuquerque also helped out with a rental, but it's sad when my wife thinks a Pontiac Vibe is better then the Land Rover....

Because of a long commute it was time to get rid of the big SUV in favor of a smaller one. I shopped everything -- domestics, RAV4's, Honda Element, Honda CRV, and others but nothing came close to the feel of the Land Rover. Having owned a Range Rover I was skepticle -- it was inexpensive and I was worried about quality. Since I've had the vehicle I have had only one minor problem (a window bolt that needed tightening). The service is excellent, the vehicle rides wonderful and solid. It really is a Land Rover in small form... I've driven it from MA to FL and back, and have not had one issue. Great vehicle.

I bought my Freelander from Honda used vehicles with 1 previous owner, and all the maintenance records. I assumed it was a great deal at the time. WOW, after spending about what I owed on it to "attempt" to fix it, it still didn't work. The last shop I took it to said, "Get rid of it anyway you can, there are 7 major engine malfunctions." All this after spending the money to maintenance it regularly. I would up trading it in for half of what I owed on it. This vehicle was a nightmare that I don't wish upon anybody!

This new Rover is so much fun to drive. Was odd to get use to the "high" seating Rover puts in its cars, but after that it was great! This blows all other mini-utes out of the water as far as base options, road handling and drivability. This SUV drives like a sports car. The road noise is pretty low and the engine VERY quiet. The Rover dealer was the best too. No "vultures" swarming you as you exit your car. They were pleasant, asked if we needed help and left us alone (unlike Toyota). Worked well with us and gave us a fair deal in les than 2 hours (including 2 test drives!) They were real pros!

Got this SUV for my wife, but she decided do not drive it and took my "everyday" Jetta. I use it every day, in any weather condition all year around. Excellent in snow blizzard! No any problem so far.
