You have to think of this as a “sport coupe”. It has similar packaging issues. I love mine and I came from a big 7 seat Disco 5.

[@bradleyhall4315]

Really appreciate the videos specifically on the 90 guys.

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

Any ideas on other ones you would like on it?

[@bradleyhall4315]

@@PerformanceOnWheels a comparison with a 2-doot JL Rubicon and the new 2-door Bronco would be incredible. It is probably the only things comparable to this. Other reviews gloss over the comfort/daily comparisons and focus on off road. How much more comfortable is the 90 vs a top spec Bronco or Wrangler? Is the coiled 90 still leagues above them or is the air suspension really necessary to elevate the comfort? You guys are the only ones on KZbin it seems with a coiled 90 in the USA. I'd love to see a comparison to one with air suspension. Many people are probably curious if the peace of mind and cost savings are worth the comfort sacrifice.

[@andrewkeene9681]

Really good video guys, great entertainment and I agree on the 90’s practicality. Also adding a roof box helps with 4 up and long weekends away, hiking etc 👍

Great vid! Investing in better camera and mic could be worth it but otherwise awesome! Big things ahead

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

We have a very nice camera cannon EOS R... it was used in this video. We just got new mics that were used for the first time in our last video on the new M240i!

[@2011blueman]

It's practical for someone that is single and doesn't have a big dog. The trunk space is only useful with the back seats down for any road trip.

Thanks so much for this video. I wanted a 90 so bad but this video makes me realize 2 dog crates on a road trip isn’t gonna cut it, so …much appreciated

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

Happy we could help:)

[@rondimmerman8923]

Thank you both for such a well-detailed, informative review. These vehicles have historically had poor reliability, as per the Consumer Reports yearly car ratings. But they also rate Jeep very low, too, yet my 1998 Cherokee Sport I had for 20 years(1999-2019) was very reliable. I traded it for a new 2019 Wrangler S, very happy with that one, too. So time will tell on the new Defenders. It may well be a very good vehicle despite its history. I have just subscribed today.

[@minirati]

Great video, I do have a family car(2), I am looking for car for me that is a good 4x4 and not that big so I been looking on this one. Thanks I am buying one, great decision helping for me.

[@york7886]

I’m having the 110 vs 90 question myself - the first row jump seat is what is making me think I can make the transition from a navigator L 3 row. I just love the 90 looks so much. I think the thing that might make it viable is the optional roof rack package and a box or a roof rack basket. How is the ride quality vs a standard luxury SUV such as the Escalade or navigator?

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

The ride is definitely stiffer then a navigator, I think the escalade rides about the same. However we do not have the air suspension

[@lynnferguson7349]

It may not be practical or reliable but it looks so great!! 🤪

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

That it does

[@jasonedwardblood]

Love my V8 90. Practical for me.

[@Lar308]

The back door window frame seems so flimsy compared to my Landcruiser (2018 prado short wheelbase 2 seater commercial van type) just wondering how that will hold up long term. Also can you open the rear door from the inside? Sometimes I like to sleep in the back of my Landcruiser but you can't open the door from the inside which is a bit annoying. Even I think I would need the 110 rather than a 90 as the back seems much smaller than my Landcruiser.

[@omaradriangonzalez]

Great video. I am not sure how you could a straight face when item were thrown at you 😬

[@delllarralde]

Great video, thank you! Since I bought my defender, I spend less money at Costco😂

[@jimmythefish]

Living in the PNW I much prefer a lift gate that provides cover from the rain when it’s open. When I’m putting waders on or getting ready in the rain it’s so much nicer to be able to stand underneath shelter. Side open is balls.

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

I get that, good explanation

[@jimmythefish]

@@PerformanceOnWheels it’s obviously not possible with the spare on the back and if you’re wanting that convenience I’m sure there’s an aftermarket awning that is quick to set up. As it is I prefer the 4Runner approach of the spare underneath.

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

I understand that for sure, you would definitely need some very very beefy hinges to hold that tire up

[@jellysleeks9428]

Maybe you should get a prius.

[@richardw5375]

Option the defender with the roof rack or get yer grandma to get a taxi.😂 As a 2nd car it's perfect if you have a young family get the 110, for me with teenage kids the 90 is spot on. A 90 towing a caravan or large trailer would be interesting to see.

Here I go again. I had 3, sorta 4 Land Rovers in my life. Now I have a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe. Lease is now up and with 30 K miles it has been literally flawless. Jeep is offering huge incentives on the new Grand Cherokee 4xe. Nearly half the price on payments for 2-3 years then the Defender and optioned out at even higher pricing then the Defender. HOWEVER, I'm back in love with a Land Rover product. The 90 Defender. I'm going on Tuesday to see if I can make it work. My wife is worried I'm going over budget and she's the one with the financial brain. However, I just LOVE this damn Defender even though my other Land Rovers were NOT reliable at all. What am I thinking!!!. I'm thinking I may just jump and get the Defender 90. Crazy what Land Rover does to its customers. Must be something in the dealerships water. They hypnotize you.

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

Yup... the put something in the air. You will not be able to make sense of the jeep after driving the Defender unfortunately. Let us know what color you get!

[@ggolds5]

@@PerformanceOnWheels While at my wife's grandmothers funeral today, I was texting the sales manager at Land Rover. Does this qualify as cheating. LOL. They aren't budging, not giving an inch. They have a NEW 90 Defender in , hold your horses, dogs, boat, whatever you're holding ..... It's PURPLE. I'm not kidding, the owner of the dealership decided to wrap one in bright purple. $7,000 wrap, and not charging for it. Probably because they can't give it away, yet I love it, and they are hardly budging on price. I have to figure this out!. I want it.

Hello, I purchased the D90 a month ago from the Dealership in SAUDIA Arabia I got the same issue in the Audio System, cameras, apple CarPlay, flashing to green in the cluster and the Driver side speaker getting a annoying noise NOT clear. My car in the dealership since June 14th. The Dealership is very good and they provide me with a replacement car a Range rover Sport but it’s very annoying the issue I face in my D90.

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

Sorry to hear that. My opinion and mindset is, I went into the ownership experience knowing there was going to be glitches and nuisances. So I am not surprised. The good still outweighs the bad. It is nice you get to drive fun cars when you go into service!! I might just start complaining about items so I can check out a new model. 🤔
