Isn't enough to get one. That car ia a pain to own, or maybe a pain for the guy that should repair it. 🤣🤣🤣
… truck. Defender owners would hate it being called a car . It can go over almost anything. Came close to buying 2010 Def 90 earlier this year. But with my recent neck injury, couldn’t justify the bumpy ride and the effort to turn the steering. Test drove the new 110 - lacks the “character” but what a lovely “car”.
After you take a ride in this thing you need to get your prostate checked
What a beautiful specimen though.
Perfect for the countryside and as much charm as a LR
… but it’s a common complaint from Defender owners. On road, the old Defender feels very floaty and the suspension is not great. Off-road it comes into its own and can take anything one throws at it. The new Defender 110 is amazing on-road, but I have not driven one off-road.
