IT RIDES LIKE MY LINCOLN ON THE ROAD, OFF ROAD IT FEELS SURE FOOTED. IT REMINDS ME OF MY OLD BMW, I ALSO HAVE A CORVETTE WHICH HAS BEEN IN THE GARAGE SINCE THE HIPPO (FREELANDER) ARRIVED. IT COULD USE A COMPASS AND SHOULD COME WITH MUD FLAPS AND CROSS RAILS FOR THE ROOF RACK, BUT I AM ADDING THEM. I HAVE NOT HAD AS MUCH FUN DRIVING IN YEARS.

Looked at Mazda Tribune, Jeep Liberty, Ford Escape...all same price range, and Freelander has less cargo space, less towing and smaller engine. We chose freelander because of financing options, all wheel drive system, looks and we will not be towing much.
Its me, I just enjoy driving it...

This is a fun vehicle that has been equally at home driving into Manhattan and off roading at our family farm in Vermont. The ride is extremely comfortable over long distances and you have a sense of great confidence in bad weather.

a great car to drive. it handles excellent. the exterior has a baja look to it which i find attractive. the v6 engine with the small suv i find has excellent excelleration. leather seats, automatic sunroof, excellent stereo system and all wheel drive make this a desireable vehicle.
Be careful!!!

I have 7,000 miles on a 04 HSE and since I bought it there have been whining noises not heard on other Freelanders i have driven. Land Rover's Regional representatives reply..."the noises are to acceptable standards." My answer...Lemon Law. It is a fine ride. the loaner I am returning right now is superb in handling and ride however mine is not so test drive whatever FL you plan on buying for at least 2 days, and drive it at 70MPH to make sure you do not land up as I have. Also visit the "Freelander Living" web site for more info about potential problems.

42 Years old and my wife gets pregnant. So I have to trade in the luxury sedan. I have two kids in college and needed something to throw a stroller in and be able to keep my golf clubs and my 11 year olds baseball stuff in. This SUV for the price is the way to go i have had no problems and it runs and feels great.....of the small SUVs I drove.....none compare.

So far this vehicle is great to drive, especially around crowded NYC streets. Parallel parking is a breeze! On the highway, Freelander has decent acceleration for passing or merging into traffic. Interior space is adequate for this class of SUV. Lots of headroom and its rear legroom is bigger than Liberty's and RAV4. For those who wants cargo space in their SUV, well, I think Freelander might not be what your are looking for.
What a deal

This unit rides & drives great, & the base se comes with a ton of standards. For the price of a comparable escape, crv, or rav4 you can have a land rover

All in all a great vehicle. It looks flashy(people at gas stations will come up to you and ask about it), and drives extremely well. The interior is nice, although it could use some improvements.

I have spent the past week in a 2004 Freelander as a loaner while my 2002 was being repaired. 2002 1)Front brakes pads at 25k and 37K 2)Front brake rotars were warped and cracked 3)Ill fitting rear door squeeks 4)HDC & TC lights always on 5)All brake lights "went out" for a week 6)Rear windshield wiper has seizures 7)Front windshield wiper jets broken 8)Seatbelt warning lights on all the time I could go on but I'll stop 2004 While driving back to dealership, realized HDC&TC lights on...discovered that brake lights where on during the entire week! Yes! And it had less than 800 miles! CRAP!!!!!
Love it, bought another

Great on-road ride, good for commuting - stable, quiet, smooth, plenty of power. Off-road beach driving is a dream, barely know you're off-road. Styling, both ext and int, is right up our alley - conservative yet modern, comfortable, masculine but not over- the-top.

Starts without any hesitation. Firm but solid ride and able to keep up with traffic during interstate driving. The Freelander handles extremely well in bad weather and poor driving conditions. A/C could be improved - it takes a while for the interior to cool.

FREELANDER IS MY FIRST SUV. AND WHILE NOT A LARGE SUV, I NO LONGER FEEL INTIMIDATED WHEN A TRUCK OR OTHER SUV COMES UP BEHIND ME. MY SE3 IS COMFORTABLE, SPORTY, SOLID AND GETS LOTS OF LOOKS FROM OTHERS ON THE ROAD.

A joy to drive, handles like a dream, accelerates very well in spite of the V6, and it always turns heads. The only complaint I have with the car is that it gets surprisingly poor mileage for a V6.
Total Testimony!

My Freelander had 9600 miles when I got it (Demo Model), and now it has 48756. I've been on long trips of 1800+ miles and Yes I've gone on the Land Rover sponsered 4WD trips. Off-road it's traction control system was 100% soild. In town the ride was very comfortable (I loved the high seat position very comfy on the knees on long trips). If your over 6'0" you might have head room problems.On 09/2004 while driving on a local hwy I had a major accident rolling the Freelander 6 to 8 times going 60+ MPH. The Freelander all things concidered held up great! I crawled out of the wreck with one tiny cut on my face, and minor bruises. Very Impressive!

Extremely pleased with the vehicle. Fun to drive, great comfort in seating, handling fine (not truck-like) for an SUV! Dealer treatment, though have the cheaper of the LR's, is exceptional! Good pick-up and acceleration, good braking, and I find I have plenty of cargo space for my needs! Nothing to dislike about this vehicle--so far!

I moved to Colorado from Louisiana this summer and decided to trade in my little sports car for a more snow-worthy vehicle. For me, a single guy with no kids, the Freelander SE3 was perfect: inexpensive but unique, fun to drive, agile on road and off, practical, and (best of all) providing an open air driving experience. I am very happy so far with the SE3.
Great compact SUV!

Great fully-loaded SUV if you're not willing to cough up the $40,000 for the X3. I've had it for about 8 months and still haven't had any problems. Love it!

We purchased our Freelander not three days ago, and we love it already! Filled it up with gas after leaving the dealership (87 octane) and drove around the city for a bit, then on the highway to our hometown. We drove for around 2 hours on the highway plus another hour of stop-and-go driving, and STILL got 20 mpg when we were all said and done. That was the first day. She is still clean and running like brand new!

Hi Guys I have had a 1.8 Petrol engine manual for two years the only problem I have had is the three lights for ABS/TC & HD Kept lighting it took three attempts to fix the fault but after that I have enjoyed every moment with the car. I have found that over Mud and rough terrain this thing never lets me down. There are a few issues I have like the front seats are not very comfy for long drives but other than that the car is OK. I have done 20,000 miles in mine I have not had to replace the tires and Brakes as yet. I will be replacing this one with a New Diesel next week with an Auto engine.
satisfied with my landrover

i bought my freelander off the showroom floor, love at first sight!, it is my first suv and i bought it mostly for my dogs, who travel with me daily. all in all it is reliable. there have been some english quirks, but it starts up every day and gets me to work and i love the style and handling. the quirks have been, a recalled engine at 35,000 miles, brakes that squeal, it does go through brake pads quickly.but i am still satisfied with it.
BIG mistake!

Purchasing this vehicle was the worst mistake I have ever made. A coolant leak caused me to need a new engine after only 50K miles. Land Rover fought me tooth and nail over this, although they admit that this was a factory defect. It took 2 months to get a new engine (at considerable cost to me, even with the extended warranty). This is the second Land Rover that died on me. This car also ate brakes and, like many Freelanders, the sunroof broke an hour after I drove it off the lot. This vehicle was not worth the money that I put into it. The poor quality of Land Rover customer and sales service only made the experience worse. I will never consider a Land Rover again.
too many problems with this one

i bought the freelander in august 2003, it has been in the shop twice for leaking antifreeze, once for the sun roof, twice for the engine knocking, and is now in the shop for the air conditioning not working, still smelling antifreeze after turning car off, and having hard starts. i would not recommend this car to anyone. will trade it off if i can get out of service long enough.
Oops I purchased a Freelandrover

Having now read all the reviews, I no longer feel alone. Day 2, my Landy was back in the shop, transmission replacement parts, repair 1 week. Brakes and rotors at oil change frequency. Consistent electrical problems. Coolant leak in side the care under drivers door mat. Non stop transmission problems, vibration on acceleration. 2 months after the first coolant leak, the same problem. Battery died. Electrical window problems. I have extended warranty and am $100 out, sick of taking the car back to the dealer. Car is not reliable. Dealer has been excellent! This year I have driven a rental car more than my own car, is this a lemon?
A great truck and convertible.

I was looking for a new truck, and when I saw this at the Chicago Auto Show, I knew I found a winner. The Freelander handles great in any condition. It has great pick up. It fits in the city, and can handle the country. The lines are fanatastic. After a hard day, there is nothing better then taking the top off and driving the stress away. For the price you can not beat the value.

I have both a Mercedes and Land Rover Freelander. The Land Rover is a lot of fun to drive. I am impressed with the manufacturer warranty and how I was treated when I had a minor problem. I will buy from Land Rover again!
