We had a defender, it was a pretty good vehicle and the wife loved it. We ended up trading it in because the defender is just not a practical city driver, the wife had a hard time parking it downtown and in the city in general. The defender is pretty wide and at a weird height overall. If she didn't lower her suspension all the way for her underground parking or even at the local mall she would hit the bars. Anyway we traded it for a bmw x3 m40i and havnt looked back.

There's always been rich people, even the most poverty stricken and deprived nations in Africa and places like North Korea have rich people. The existence of rich people, and consequently, the existence of expensive things for rich people to buy is not a surprise, nor is it a bad thing in and of itself. What _is_ a surprise, and also represents a definite shift compared to what I was always told growing up, is that the divide between the rich and the rest used to be much smaller here compared to those places. The rich weren't any less rich, but the rest was much, _much_ less poor. Like, sure, a rich person could always afford a Ferrari or a Rolls Royce, but your average Joe could still afford a decent car in our society - and _that's_ just not true anymore. The gap between the rich and the rest has now grown to the point where the few rich people drive around in >£100.000 cars, while the rest of us get to live in squalor, struggling to afford our groceries and energy bills. If that's not enough, that's all made even worse by the fact that the people who can afford to pollute are effectively allowed to do so, while you're being priced out of owning a car even approaching this that you _would_ be able to own, if not for the excessive tax penalties placed on them because it's supposedly bad for the environment. And all of that stems from the managerial, redistributive style of governance that we've had since, I'd say probably the late '90s.

The original defender was always the best vehicle for anyone who lived in remote areas but it was let down by being slower than walking in most cases and technologically being so out of date that a cigarette lighter was considered futuristic so it makes sense that a version that fixes these things goes immediately to the top of a lot of people's shopping lists. Then there's the cool factor which elevates it even further.

@@martinwilliam5536 But I have internet and I listen to experts like Scotty Kilmer and many honest mechanics, even Matt Watson listed the Land Rover/Jaguar as one of the most unreliable cars. Generally speaking, Europeans make really beautiful, comfortable fun to drive cars even mechanically reliable like Benz and BMW engines that are bulletproof. But when it comes to the electricals and electronics of the car, European cars fall behind the Japanese, especially Toyota and Honda. Benz is filled with advanced tech so like BMW but those electronics are not reliable. I do not know why. It's not like the Germans and the Brits do not have the tech, but they are just not reliable. My simple idea is if you are rich and want to show off and/or comfortable ride, go for a Rolls, S-class, 7 series, etc. If you want to enjoy driving and you are rich, go for a Porche, BMW. If you are super rich and love beautiful cars and want to show off, go for a Lambo or a Ferrari. If you are a middle-class person who is mature enough not to show off, is not a biased or blind fanboy of a particular car brand and does not really put a lot of priority into the super comfortable or super driving machine but absolutely care about value for money, low maintenance and importantly want to drive a million KM without major repair, Go for a Toyota or a Honda. Do not point out one faulty model of a Toyota or a Honda and try to dismiss my argument, every car maker has produced cars with issues which is not expected but I am talking about the common scenario, Peace.

It is a style/transporter thing, not a "rough off roader" thing. Land Rover is a business. They gather in a conference room and ask themselves "how can we make the most return for our shareholders", not "how can we spend billions tooling up to make a vehicle that a very small group of true off roaders will buy". It is a fair practice. Nobody makes anyone buy them. But they are well designed aesthetically, so people want to drive them to the mall and school pickup.
@Lewis27105 ай бұрын
@@eastbaystreet1242 The thing with the new defenders is they are actually engineered to go off road in extreme conditions, take one off road and it will outperform an old defender any day of the week, my family have had over a dozen old defenders over the years and even some old series land rovers, I’ve always loved them however these new ones are just better off road and on road out of the box. I’d personally rather have an old defender over a new one but that’s just preference really. I mean everyone complains and says that this ones “lost the farmers” but in reality they lost the farmers years ago in the late 90s to early 2000s when they all started buying Japanese pickups. The old defender just didn’t make any sense any more to a farmer since a pickup was cheaper, more reliable and more comfortable and could often go off road better. At the end of the day most people won’t take these off road but if you ever did they are great.

I'm a bit in the same boat. Taking something like this offroad is not happening. At least no in terrain it actually wins. Same with a range rover But it costs the same as a gle, x5 or XC90. And I just don't know why, driving comfort wise, I'd pick this.

Is Range Rover just a status symbol, or should you just get a new Lexus GX and potentially modify it.
