6-speed manual AWD
The manual trasnmission'sdual mass flywheel and clutch are not robust enough for an SUV. I had a replacment of both at 35,000 miles and OK thereafter but I sense da returning rumble whcih is why I replaced the car.

My Freelander has been utterly trouble free. From my understanding, that makes it the exception. Many people report many engine and coolant problems. full 2005 Land Rover Freelander review

5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Had the traditional types of problems ranging from faults on reaccelleration (engine cuts), water consumption (leaky cooling system) and an O2 senson cabling rupture which let it dead. It went to the dealer every 6 months the first two years. Cured now! full 2004 Land Rover Freelander review

Breaks down easily. Especially little things. Heated seats, radiator...leaking, fan not working......etc. And it cost a lot of money to fix anything. full 2002 Land Rover Freelander review
