This vehicle is junk. It has been a headache for my family. The fuel pump was recalled and still doesn't work properly. Lights on the dashboard come on and go off randomly. My back passenger windows will not go down. Both broke on the the same day. Everything is so expensive to get fixed on this car. Would not recommend this vehicle to anyone.

I'd been looking for a compromise between a full-sized SUV, for off- roading and poor weather safety, and a sedan, for better milage and handling. The Freelander hasn't disappointed. Very smooth ride, with little to no body roll, great visibility, superior snow/mud/muck handling, and I'm still getting relatively decent milage (18-20 mpg). The styling certainly sets it apart from most other vehicles in it's class. Very unique interior material (Technical Fabric), with excellent seat support and comfort. Plus, the hardtop is easily removable, looking forward to adding many summer driving miles. The Freelander is the compromise that doesn't feel like one.

Love My Freelander

I read the reviews and bought mine anyway. It had high miles but looked brand new. I love it! It is fun to drive, looks great, and mine really scoots. Gas mileage is way better highway where I get 22-24 mph. In the city I only get about 17. What vehicle is ever cheap to repair? If you maintain well, the vehicle will last. I don't take mine to a dealer, I use Columbia Rovers. They know their stuff.

I love my Freelander, my favourite thing is that it's very rare. I had read about thousands and thousands of complains out there, but mine had none of them. Is not the most reliable car on earth but I love living with it. My advice is that pick a good one if you ever want to buy one, pay careful attiontion to every thing when you test drive. After you got it, check under the hood often and dun let any liquid in run below the "min" line(definitely dun let it run dry). I think most major problem are caused by not paying attention to your car, and the service the car as soon as the service is up.

Unreliable

The car has stalled 2 times and the dealer is unable to find the problem. Lights go on on the dash board such as breaking and traction control and the dealer has been unable to fix it.
