2004 Land Rover Freelander HSE review from North America
"You'll stand out in a crowd"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems other than the passenger door squeaking when shut and a little excessive brake dust.
General comments?
With a little over a thousand miles on the Freelander it seems to be a very solid vehicle.
I know I haven't even broken the car in yet, but I feel that it drives and handles much better than any other SUV I have driven for my style of driving. With the 17" wheels it drives like a sports car, but goes of road like a truck and you can even park in a regular parking lot without taking up two spaces like most new SUV's today The HSE package is very nicely equipped, but a little high compared to the SE. The 2004 are a much-improved vehicle from the inside out compared with the 2003 and earlier and at a much better price also.
