2003 Land Rover Freelander consumer reviews

This was an overall good buy for me. It's reliable and drives pretty smooth. Also, the interior is in great shape for a 2003 model.

Really bad car to own 1 year I own it was bad on fuel and uncomfortable car for road trip I had problems with engine I broke the camshaft and chain. In the engine

I think this car needs a paint job and a tune up. Other than that, it's good. I'd keep it but need more room. A 4 door.

Bought this car new in 2003 & still have it after 9 years. Works great. Love to go travelling & camping with it. Unlike big clumsy SUVs, this is nimble on the high ways, little city streets as well tight off road trails.

When I first got this car I loved it. It had 63,000 miles on it. I had it for four years and It was constantly in and out of the shop. I had to take it to the Land Rover dealer because most mechanics do not know how to work on them. First the ignition switch had to be replaced. Then the battery and brakes. The fuel pump died with no warning which is a common problem with this vehicle. Land Rover sent a recall letter for the issue after I had to pay to get it repaired. It was constantly leaking coolant and the mechanics could not figure out why. It was driving fine until one day the engine died at 98,000 miles and the dealership gave me a quote of $12000 for a new engine. Never again!

While our Land Rover was surprisingly reliable for about 5 years before it fell apart, Land Rovers are absolutely overpriced (people buy it for the name and prestige) and practically "illegally" expensive to maintain. There is absolutely no reason to pay $169.99 for an oil change when your car is under warranty. The whole Land Rover brand is poor value for the money and the cars are built for a short life span. If you want value, do not buy the Land Rover brand. If you have a lot of money to spend, don't worry about your image, save $30-40,000 and give it to your favorite charity.

Vehicle looks great in the picture. Clean engine that seems new. Has a good fuel economy. Its a car every person would love to drive for comfort.

expensive parts, I lost a lot of dollars for repair.Common problems: transmision, oil leaking, sun roof stopped working, back door window, hot air inside smells like coolant fluid- coolant fluid radiator leaking, and many more defects. And that car is 7 years old. Has now 72000 miles. Stay away from this car.

Great when first purchased. Super handling and nice ride. When warranty ran out engine problems began. Finally finished with broken camshaft that bent the valves. Diagnosis new engine!
