Hi everyone! I just found this forum a few minutes ago, and I'm hoping this will be a good resource for my new Freelander.
My humble opinion:
The Good - Very sharp looking automobile, nice handling in all kinds of weather, gas mileage not too bad, comfortable seating for four, lots of little storage spaces.
The Bad - No armrests (can be uncomfortable on long trips), no crossbars on roofrails (I can't put any luggage up there), wind noise at highway speeds, the dog really doesn't fit in the cargo area like I thought he would, and dog hair sticks to the carpet like glue!
The Ugly - I cannot fill the gas tank without gasoline splashing out. Not getting much help from the dealership.
Overall, I really like the truck, but I wish I could get some decent aftermarket parts soon, like a cargo space liner, luggage rack crossbars, and roof cargo carrier. Road trips are kind of a pain because we have to keep all our luggage in the back with the dog.
