This is primarily my wifes vehicle however I am in charge of maintaining it. We decided to purchase it instead of an escape or liberty. The vehicle does not accelerate fast at all, but we knew this upon purchasing the vehicle. The $400.00 services every 12,000 miles are a little pricey.
One main problem I have with the vehicle is that it makes a knocking noise from the engine every time it is started cold. I am worried as my warranty expires in a couple thousand miles if I should still keep it, due to service and parts being so pricey.
Do not buy this car, i bought mine brand new october 2002 freelander hse.I've had nothing but problems at this moment its in the shop and 4,ooo dollars latter im driving it home, and the engines knocking again. it vapor locks in the summer, new manifold $786,new gaskets $360, sunroof $800,new plugs $233,I've spent about 5,000 on this car since the warranty expired. exhaust smell through the vents $600 to fix this car sucks and its my second land rover I had a 1996 range rover so I thought id buy new. not worth it.
