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.

Having driven just over 1,000 miles in a month I must say that our Freelander is a winner. It is without doubt the best handling SUV I've driven, hugging the road like a BMW in tight turns. It's traction is superb in slick conditions. We've been off-road a few times and our Freelander surprised every time with its electrifying performance. We improved upon the already excellent seat comfort by installing third-party armrest (found through the internet). We also installed full length roof rails further improving the already stylish look.

what is up with the breaks on this car? a new car that needs breaks We will never purchase another one of these vehicles or recommend one to are friends.when communicating with the service dept., at Hubacher Cadillac in Sacramento Ca. my wife was told that it has been a problem and the brakes on the freelander are needing replacement after 15,000. When the brakes fail they go metal to metal without warning very strange and dangerous to drive. Maybe we should park are freelander across the street from the dealer ship with a big sign on it as to what is wrong with this car. Oh by the way when the brakes go out there is know warning.

You can pick this little SUV up for a good price these days. Don't let the price trick you, It's a Land Rover. Land Rover's are a high end SUV. You can't stop at the local quick lube and the get oil changed, they don't have a filter to fit it. They cost a ton to keep up, electrical problems, tranny problems, over heating problems. If you buy this SUV, you are going to have problems with it. Is it worth it for you to drive a Land Rover? I sold mine after 18 months and took a beating.

Love This Car

After reading the mixed reviews posted on this message board, I have to admit I was a little skeptical about the Freelander. However I didn't want to rule it out until I drove it. During the test drive I realized that the people leaving the bad reviews must never have driven one. The second I put the car in drive, I was in love. Ford, Mazda and Jeep should not even be in the same class. There is no way to fully explain it. All I have to say is drive one for your self. I just picked up my new one yesterday and I am very very pleased. The only negitive thing I can say is that I wish there were arm rests.
