If defender came in auto id buy one in a flash.

The current jeep wrangler has much more power than defender. Comes with proper tyres. But isn't close because it can't tow it's shadow.

There's only one car that's even close to a 90 a D4. All the others can be only compared to a freelander.


I find myself having to agree with Rob. Two weeks ago I would have found it difficult to agree, but having spent the last 9 days in a D3 and with a bunch of other D3s and D4s in the Pyrenees I can quite honestly say if the Defender turns out to be no better than a Skoda Yeti and as ugly as an FJ Crusier then I will be looking towards the D4 as an alternative... Simply a superb vehicle, even on road tyres. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

oh my god, i dont believe my eyes, jeeps are getting praise!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

cant tow a sack of feathers, look HORRENDOUS, made of plastic, entirely driven by american posers in california who can say they are 'an offroader' when they drive on the beach, guzzle petrol over there, useless diesel over here, no payload capacity, useless tires as standard, no ground clearance or angles as standard, useless for carrying people...

i could go on and on...

the only thing they are good for is modifying the crap out of them and using for rock crawling, but by that stage its almost irrelevant what car you started with...

RANT OVER

PS... i mean, just look at it!

I hate their grille most, I'd rather have the Defender standard front end every time. Least it doesn't look like an over weight frog with its mouth open. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧
