I just purchased a small SUV about a month ago...strongly considered the Freelander...However, after
doing some research and after my test drives I decided on the new and improved CRV...(just like TTschwing said below)...
Although I liked the looks of the Freelander, there wasn't anything so spectacular about it to warrant its price...
Having owned a CRV already, I was very pleased with the changes they made to the 2002 and opted to stay with Honda....It's very reasonably priced..had a new and improved engine...lots of cargo space....and EXTREMELY reliable...
Hope this helps...

Well worth it.

Was ready to buy liberty until test drive. Drive and handling are tops. Best handling SUV for the money. Rides smoother than discovery. Fantastic 5 speed auto with tiptronic type tranny. Engine is from Rover series cars- tried and true. Off road capability is on a par with the liberty. Build quality is better than TT. (not saying much) I got the S for about 26K. Cargo is sufficient for what I use it for 99% of the time. Resale should not be that poor considering low supply. Also comes with 4/48 bumber to bumper warranty.
