2005 Land Rover Freelander SE

If only a Land Rover Freelander had been available, the characters in Jules Verne's "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" could have saved themselves days of toil over harsh terrain. A Freelander would have quickly transported Professor Hardwigg, his reluctant nephew, and guide Hans to the volcano., Technically, the Land Rover Freelander doesn't match the off-road capability of the bigger Discovery or of the expensive Range Rover. In reality, though, it will go much farther into the back country than most anyone will want to go. On the road, this Freelander drives superbly and it's more satisfying than the other cute-utes. Crisp rack-and-pinion steering, an agile road-worthy suspension, and an extremely rigid chassis give it excellent road manners, even when driven aggressively. It's stable at high speeds both on pavement and on gravel. It has excellent brakes. It rides smoothly and it's comfortable. The sport shifter that controls the automatic transmission makes it fun to drive on winding blacktop, allowing the driver to keep the V6 engine revving in the power band. In short, this Freelander strikes a fine balance between asphalt agility and off-road capability., , Around town, it's smooth and quiet. It feels like an premium vehicle. The Freelander is, as Land Rover puts it, the first premium, small sport-utility vehicle. This up-level SE trim adds leather upholstery, 17-inch wheels, illuminated vanity mirrors, steering wheel audio controls, and roof rails. It's the most popular model., , This one gets you a great ride in a small SUV with luxury and panache to boot. Print this out and call us NOW for a Land Rover test drive towards ownership!
