You know I will, I buy with the intent to use, always.
This one get a lot of use since it will be my commuter car so I'm confident it will rake up a lot of miles both on and off road.
Carpe Diem.
Which I believe stands for seize the Carpathian It goes without saying I’m a loyal Land Rover customer. Love their SUVs as it’s like driving on a cloud. When they announced the return of the Defender I was really excited but was unwilling to pay the $50-1...
Drive a Land Rover myself and really enjoy it
They did a bang up job on the new Defender - congratulations on the purchase +++
Awesome trim!
What is it that's unique other than the obvious powertrain difference?? I do love the matte grey paint as well.... Much fun with it!!
Pretty much the matte 2 tone finish and V8.
Makes it look so sinister. That combined with low production numbers equates to mark ups as we know. My dealership only got two this year a 90 and the 110. I passed on the 90. It’s a fun 2 door but useless with a family of 5. So they secured the 4 door fo...
Very cool.
I've only ever seen a couple of them around L.A. Back in 2016 I drove their entire line-up, but have never driven a Defender.... Dr. Tony would approve as well ....
First time I heard there is a markup on a Land Rover….
But I was not in the market since Mar 2020. Congrats my friend and enjoy!
They were marking up the standard 2022/23 Rovers
For the last 2 years and still marking up the Defender Carpathian. Thanks buddy.
Amazingly cool driving machine
I now enjoy looking only since driving cannot bring me pleasure anymore but I really do love the look and the concept. I wish I can still enjoy a drive but at least my son does and very much even, to such an extent that he is now working in the automotive...

Love this car very much.
Unfortunately, I only possess the Zenith Defy El Primero 21 Land Rover Edition, designed with the team of Jerry McGovern for the launch of the Defender… All the best Nicolas ...
Very sharp
I loved my land rovers. I agree with v8 leaving soon, however, porsche just reintroduced the v8 into their cayenne s, so who knows. Great looking truck, hope the family enjoys 👍
Yea but with emissions tightening and certain states like Washington and California.
saying that they will ban the sale of ICE cars by like 2030 in the state. The writing is on the wall, so I'm collecting them while I can.
Be very careful and please read!
I’ve had now a defender for 2 years and just sold mine. As you the car is beautiful comfortable and a lot of good stuff, but be careful of the issues they come with, which I hope you don’t have to deal with. I had 3 windshields crack in the middle of driv...
I'm so sorry to hear about your experience.
I've had nothing but full size Range Rovers the last 15 years and I have never experienced problems like you discussed. So fingers crossed I will not. All of my Range Rovers have been v8's and this engine is no different so I trust it will be more of the ...
Seems Like the Typical Land Rover Experience
There’s a reason why they end up at the bottom of the JD Power Dependability Rankings each year. Yes Land Rovers are damn sexy, but you better lease or sell it while it’s in warranty or you’re going to need to sell off your watch collection to afford serv...
My wife has had 3 full size Rovers that had approached 100k miles each.
All three had no issues, so speaking from experience I have had no problems (they were all well maintained). Knock on wood. Also if I wanted constant dependability/reliability I would just buy a Corolla. All luxury items come at an increase cost. One just...
I have no issue with the price or maintenance.
I have a issue, having a vehicle and half of the time being in a shop for some bs repair, and having to rent a car in the meantime for weeks on end. Each time I needed a new windshield it took weeks to get, “Covid” and other stupid excuses while being in ...
For sure!
That would anger the hell out of me. I just haven’t experienced that with my cars so I have been fortunate. Personally, I don’t like to lease. For me it’s like renting money that could be going back into your pocket, I need to own. I usually keep and driv...
Huge Congrats, excellent choice
I have been a fan of these new Defenders from the launch.
The nose and grille look extended - to squeeze in the larger engine?
Just the impression I got from your front-on photo Mike
Maybe, I didn't put it next to the V4 or V6 so that may be the case.
Although it's still a 110 so technically it should all be the same length.
That's what the specs say, except ...
The Carpathian is almost 1000 lbs heavier than the 4-cyl model! ...
It feels like a big heavy box with a growly engine. Which has it's unique appeal.
If I was going to buy the Defender it was only going to be the V8 and specifically either the Bond version or Carpathian. So I was patient and that patience paid off.
I had a big heavy box with a rattly V8 engine. Once upon a time.
luckily I came to my senses before signing the deal... The test drive was fun though. THIS feels very safe when changing lanes or charging over anything. ...
Love that!
Love those old Hummers, I actually had contemplated buying one for Leavenworth but I have the old G wagon up there for off roading. If I added a Hummer as well I might receive a swift kick to the nuts by my wife who feels that I don't need anymore cars. I...
Leavenworth, WA?
Up in the mountains? My brother is just down the road in Wenatchee. WALKING WENATCHEE Mike
I do own the same car and I completely agree.
Never felt safer and more comfortable changing lanes on I-95 😂😉... Between NYC and CT, mind you...
Nice. My brother in law bought one,
shortly after he got it the dealership called and offered him $20,000 more than what he paid. They had an anxious buyer waiting n the wings. He kept the car.
