1998 Land Rover Freelander 5 Door XEdi review from Portugal
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First 6 months of use, 10K Km, and the only thing to report is an annoying noise made by the left door window when it goes up.
And yes I've taken it off-road several times (at least one each weekend, and a lot of paint scratches) and its behavior is a lot better than a Honda CR-V or a Subaru Forester. And the wonders of the HDC are all true.
General comments?
A wonderful car, a not so hard off roader (it's not a Defender of course) and a 2.0 TD Engine that could have a little more power and torque. Maybe another gear (6) for going up, cause to come down you have HDC.
Very easy to ride, and with lots of comfort in it. Ok Ok it's not a Mercedes, or a BMW but it's one of the most confortable cars from Land-Rover.
