If you don't know, then I can't tell you!Source: MSN Autos...to Houston with no problems. Cons: Little weak off the line, would like some extra horsepower, but then again that's why K&N and Borla are around. LandRovers are notoriously heavy, and in turn breaks wear sooner; I had to replace mine at 18k miles. Overall: Great purchase, but LandRover's aren't for everyone. If you are looking to buy a LandRover, remember even though they are now owned by Ford, it's still a British car. What I mean by that, it's not as plush as most American cars, and it's not like driving a couch. The FreeLander is a secret best kept by LandRover enthusiasts! P.S. If you're... |

Bore me baby one more time!!Source: MSN Autos...Cons: I wish the headlights would auto-off quickly when the car is off, and the door locks would auto-lock at speed. The EX should have a standard cassette player (hello - we still have some!). The sunroof controls are awkward to use and poorly placed. It could use a touch more sound deadening from road/tire/suspension noise. Overall: I traded a Land Rover Freelander for this 12-31-04. Thought I would get a CRV but one test drive told me - this is a REALLY high quality car. The Accord may be the world's most boring car, but after the Land Stander nightmare -- bore me baby, bore me!... |

Good Fun CarSource: CarGurus...This was the diesel model and was a good solid car. Great fun bouncing on and off kerbs and driving off roads (not off road)... |

Why so many complaints? My Rover runs well, 2002 was the bad year.Source: MSN Autos...I paid $28,611 loaded-invoice, less than a Liberty as you have to a la carte the other brands. Cons: No power driver's seat, 2.5 a bit small. Overall: Remember take these reviews with a grain of salt. Just like "trip advisor", some people can complain about any small thing. I get alot of compliments on it. I am in sales so I do alot of driving. I just turned 9,000 miles-8 months and replaced a throttle body. Have had no problems with minor things. My gas mileage is 16 city/18 highway. Remember all this is under a 4 year warranty. The service people are much more professional than Honda or... |

For Girls Or Left-footersSource: CarGurus

You Either Love It Or Hate It.Source: CarGurus
...(It's the one on the left).Choosing this car is almost a family tradition, because my dad once had seven land rovers. |

If you like fruit, buy this car.Source: MSN Autos
...Pros: It is great to look at. Cons: Other than great to look at, everything else fails. |

Nice Small SUVSource: MSN Autos...A/C is strong. Not too much road noise on the Highway. Land Rover of Guilford CT. is top notch in the service department. Will buy another Rover just to deal with them again. Cons: Had a computer glitch with Hill Descent control. Fixed after two tries, but had a Range Rover loaner for free, so no problem to me. I wish there was alittle more power, but with the cost of gas today, everything is a trade off Overall: I see alot of people had alot of problems. Completely opposite to my experience and the hundreds of people in my town with Land Rovers of all years... |
