Looks unique and feels great when it runs! POOR build quality and reliability. Roadside assistance called 4 times w/in 3 years. Towed to dealer 3 times! Trouble with engine, tranny, door speakers, brakes, antenna breaks often, hard top rattles, soft top a pain in the neck/plastic windows haze, engine has no oomf, wide turning radius, dated interior/controls, poor instrument lighting, need a key for gas- cap, dealer not helpful. Never buy again! Afraid to drive far from home.

Fun truck. Fuel economy is poor. Fun to drive though. Very solid feel.

Bought the Freelander (FL) in 03, and, loved it. As you can see from the other reviews, great car when it's not in the shop. Went to the dealership for all service, oil changes, etc. Six months ago, I started having overheating problems. Dealer changed out the coolant tank, etc. Kept having the problem over and over until two weeks ago when the car would not start. Towed it into the dealer, needs a new engine. $8400 estimate. Do the research! This car is a lemon. The engine will blow out ~65K, good luck talking to LR if you are out of warranty. It's a money black hole.

I purchased the SE3 for my wife about a year ago. So far we have not had any real problems. The front brakes had a dragging problem but the dealership corrected the problem. The detachable top is great, my wife loves stripping it down for the carolina summer. The traction control works GREAT in snow and ice, we go to the mountains on the weekends and the freelander goes through the snow as well as my truck (and that is saying something). The interior is easy to clean and works well with the jeep like feel. All in all a great car for the wife and a fun car to drive.
