My wife bought an extended warranty for hers just before the mfg warranty expired. She's got 58K on it and it's been quite reliable. The rear window regulator just died, but they do, and the extended will take care of it.
There have been a few Freelanders that gave the whole barrel a bad rap, but, in my mind, not deserved.
The front brakes pads did go sooner than I would have expected, but I told the dealer NO, when they tried to sell us new rotors at the same time. They backed off and said they were OK. The bushings for the rear diff are just now making a tiny bit of noise. I'll take care of those myself.
I do like the new one (LR2) but we'll hold on to this one for a bit longer, give the new one a chance to work the bugs out.
Riding in her car is quite a pleasure after my 110, they're neat little cars.
