Defender.. Opinions


Recommended Posts

 

Price was the deciding factor on my 4x4. I went for a 1998 4.0 straight six Jeep Grand Cherokee. 150,000 miles on the clock and good for 400,000. Heated seats, air con, electro seats, 6 disk CD/radio/tape. Very comfortable on the motorway and loads of power. Just been on a shooting holiday, it was faultless driving the 500 mile rounds trip and the week off road driving around the farm. Often overlooked but I've had no problems in 3 years and I only paid £800 for a £25000 vehical!

Very powerful motors and excellent off road they just extra greedy tw@ts with fuel.
With the cost of a good Defender being around £7000 to £12000 on eBay that's about 15000 to 30000 miles of fuel for the Jeep that has electric every thing! A 5.9 V8 Magnum has an amazing 0-60, tow anything you need and is super comfortable (and quiet) at 80mph!

Good point never thought if it like that.

 

I like the jeeps but I would love a defender just as a project and hunting wagon, not my daily driver.

 

The jeep is a good comfy daily driver with excellent off road ability
