Used 2002 Land Rover Freelander Consumer Reviews
Works for me
I bought because of the label, have not been disappointed so far. Used even! Wanted something safe on the road for wife and new baby. hadn't read all the bad things about the vehicle. So far (2+years) nothing bad to report! I like it, drives good, sunroof is making noise looks and I still got lots of time and miles on my extended warranty.
complete failure
a month after purchase with only 34000 miles I have to take it to the dealer for repair, after it reached 55000 , it has been trips to the shop, faulty parts and costly repairs that they say is not cover by the warranty, now at 80,000 i have to replace the transmition and the cooling system has a leak they dont know from where? if I keep driving I have to replace the engine, this is a well known issue with the dealer for this cars but they wont take responsability for the bad quality of the engine. Now after I spend $5000 for repairs I have to get rid off before the engine blows up! a toyota cost half of this one and last at least 250k miles!

Incredable
When people want to by a land Rover they would probably want an exspensive one but in this case the Land Rover Freelander S is the leats exspensive of the 3 (se,s...)i had it for 4 months now and i don't have any problems with it its an amazing car, but my girlfriend makes fun of me because she has the new hummer h2 she always races me and wins but overall i think the freelander is an incredible car!!
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.
Been there done that
Purchased a brand new Freelander and it is the only regret I have in my life. So you can assume exactly what kind of ownership experience my family and I had to endure for over 5 years. When the motor finally dies at 58Kmiles, and the transmission had been slipping for 1 year, the car still smelled brand new when it was sold for scrap parts. Never ever buy a Freelander, unless you have a high tolerance for a cheaply built, outsourced funky japanese tranny and a Chiness built motor with epoxy glue holding the cylinder sleeves together. The 5 years of missing coolant was nothing compared to what this car did to my life and finances. Pure junk.
