2003 Land Rover Freelander ES review from Australia and New Zealand
"if you are looking for a car for work and a bit of weekend adventure... there you go, get this one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far so good, no major work has been done.
I have regularly maintained the service schedule.
Brakes, you may feel need replacement sooner than expected, that may be because this car is very heavy.
General comments?
I have read many bad comments about this car. My one so far has turned out to be a stunner. I would say this car needs regular servicing to run smoothly.
It's a very sturdy entry level offroader from Land Rover. If you are looking for a car for work and a bit of weekend adventure... there you go, get this. The all new Freelander 2 is just awesome too.
