Born Hunter 17,622 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Got to be honest, I don’t think it looks bad. If I force myself to embrace progress lol. The biggest problem I have is that they’ve put way too much tech in it. The tech warrants the ridiculous price tag and no one is taking such an expensive motor to the places where that tech can shine! The vehicle is frankly a paradox! It should have started at 25k, not 45k. It sort of has the essence of the Disco, a comfy utility vehicle, not the Defender, a bare bones workhorse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 26,094 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 By far the worst thing to drive ever was an old defender we had for work, late 60s model possibly 68?? Drove like a dog, but by f**k did we pull some gear behind it...used ti pull a whole steel frame on a bloody great trailer behind it, plus it was filled with tools... Top speed up hill 20mph....lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I.agree I think they look ok...and probably could work as hard as any other 4x4...maybe better... but not at 45k!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dytkos 17,534 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Had a couple, never got more than 32/34 mpg tops. Go pretty much anywhere but unless your a Billy no mates like me, there's not much room. Certainly couldn't go out with 3 of you with a dog apiece. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
