Porsche 911 vs Defender
Sorry not recent but i thought worthy of note - it's the second or maybe third time I've seen a Land Rover end up perched on an open door like this.

I wonder how comon it is?

Suggests that doors have a tendency burst open in the event of a crash. I never expected a 5 star NCAP rating but it is worrying. Shocked

Click the OP's link, the Porsche ended up in a field minus its engine.

There's no ncap at all on defender. In the event of a crash get in the back and lie down.

The saftey aspects of driving a Defender my main issue. That old solid frame chasis with virtually none existent demolition zones and the lack of most of the crash saftey technologies from the last decades doesn't really make it a veichle you want to transport your family with. At the same time I want one badly but I guess it will remain a dream Sad

Don't let this put you off.
The driver was totally unhurt and didn't even spill his coffee. Mr. Green

No one should take the decision away from you how you look after your family, and road traffic is more dangerous than ever. The number of cars, and number of electronic gadgets that distract the driver, are major factors.

Two further reasons to drive a Defender. 1998 Tdi 90 SW,
