2003 Land Rover Freelander SE3
It's post-election day and I'm trying to keep myself from posting anything political, so.....Random Vehicle Blog!
I think this Land Rover is a perfect choice for today: Freelander - "Land of the Free". I bought this in 2004 with less than 4,000 miles on the odometer, so it was basically new. Land Rover had stopped importing the Defender and wanted a third model to go along with the Range Rover and the Discovery. These started popping up all over Houston, but mostly in the more refined 4-door version. I bought this on a whim (shocking, I know), and for some reason went with the very Jeep-like SE3 with its 2-door / removable rear cover configuration.
It turned out to be a pleasant little truck to drive. It wasn't particularly spacious and certainly didn't have enough storage space to work for me as an 'SUV', but it was comfortable and well-appointed.
I ended up keeping this for less than a year and then sold it to a nice young female military friend who was stationed in Utah. She flew in to get it with her mom and couldn't have been happier. All in all, I liked it. I never took it off-road and I never even took the removable roof off, but I'm sure it would have performed well.
