Electrics are hit and miss, mainly miss. Plenty of rattles, creaks and groans. But economy is great, comfort is good, go anywhere, and very reliable. 179000 miles with bmw engine still as good as new.

Does what it says and very useful and practical. Boot is quite small for such a "big" car. Running costs and maintenance costs are quite high. Good for towing.

this is our 2nd freelander.the first one wasn't very reliable either.(it was a 1999 v reg.station wagon, too).the good points are the driving position and the size of the door mirrors.the access for changing lightbulbs is good.that's about it.when we buy a car we like to keep it for quite a few years.we've had this freelander for 5years and had loads replaced on it over the years.its not so much the cost as the total unreliability of the design and engineering of the vehicle which is very, very disappointing.An example is the window winding mechanisms,anti roll bar links, .rear window opening and closing.Luckily,the car hasn't been used to commute on a regular basis,nor has it had off road use.We have a local garage which is very good and anything needing doing is done within a day or so.the latest problem was the fuel pump being replaced at just over 107000 miles with the car being in the garage a couple of days. obviously,some of the work done was due to wear and tear over the years we've owned it,but I can't help the feeling that the vehicle was very poorly engineered to start with.I suppose it could have been worse if we'd bought a petrol one.

BUYING A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE IS RISKY, SO IT WAS VERY HELPFUL TO HAVE THE AA BACKGROUND CHECK TO START WITH. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO A GARAGE FOR A CHECK UP AND APART FROM A MINOR ADJUSTMENT THE CAR IS BRILLIANT !

Brilliant, comfortable, ideal for towing, and carrying stuff like rubbish to recycling. It's height allows good views all around and there's plenty of space inside. The problems - with only 3 doors it's so inconvenient when giving people a lift. When we got it we had another car as well(4-door) AND we were all a lot younger and more supple so scrambling into the back was just good fun. We don't need it for towing any more either as we sold the caravan. The biggest bone of contention is having to pay so much car tax when we cause so little harm to the environment. In brief we'd have another Freelander - 5-door this time - if we could afford it, but we can't and as we know all the ins and outs of the one we have we're content just to carry on enjoying it!

my car is registered for disability as my wife is disabled, i chose a 4x4 so i could get about in snow or heavy rain which might lead to flooding.

I like my 4x4 as it allows me to travel where I wish to at a practical expense; plus, I need a car to tow a caravan.

Would always buy a Freelander.

Would always buy a Freelander if could afford to replace present one. Excellent car to drive and really comfortable and easy for some who is disabled like my husband to get in and out of.

As country dwellers living in a narrow lane, difficult in winter, liable to being ice-snowbound, this is the perfect reliable workhorse. As elderly people the high, upright sitting position (and good all round view, is more practical than a modern low saloon

Feels very secure, much more comfortable ride than expected, reasonable economy and amazing for getting around in the snow. Whilst it is very practical in snow, there is not as much space as I would like, in particular I don't think it could take the standard IKEA pack in the load space behind the front seats. At 25,000 miles the car would still be on its original tyres but for a puncture which resulted in replacement. I have some reservations about the effectiveness or reliability of the stop/start on ours - it rarely seems to work. I have also managed to fool the engine management system when messing up on starting up, but rebooting the car by locking and unlocking it seems to work

I have heard some bad reports from people about these cars, but i can only say after 5 years weve not had any major problems yet with our car! snow most years on steep hills where we live is not usually a problem, great! for towing caravans , although care reversing with the caravan on is advisory.
