I have had loads of Land Rover products over the last 50 years. current D4 has over 270.000km and has yet to need even a light bulb, Range Rover has 100000km and no faults. People seem to want problems in a Land Rover, why? Don’t keep peddling the same old nonsense. Two worst cars I have owned? Toyota Land Cruiser- broke down on the dealers forecourt for the first time! and didn’t even make it home! 2nd worst was a Mercedes 300 SL ! Every vehicle has bad ones that break down. Just stop always knocking Land Rover

[@george3769]

I am on my third Land Rover and have never had a mechanical problem with any of them. I purchased my current Land Rover new 10 years ago. In such great shape will keep it for a few more.

[@andreaspencer9813]

That's fantastic to hear, thanks for sharing!

[@LafemmebearMusic]

You really are in a party of like, 5. The stories are awful, I had a brand new lr4 for a year, one year less than 23 k miles and it had coolant issues from about 3k miles and after a year and just at 23k miles it needed a new head for the block?????😮😮😮😮 yeah. You got out good I’m really happy for you but it just isn’t the normal experience.

[@plohish1337]

are these Land Rovers 1/18 or 1/43 ?

I own a 23 Defender 90 V8 and absolutely love it. I had the oil light issue intermittently , but it turned out to not be an issue. In fact it really does not need oil and if you put any in you risk overfilling it. Mine stopped giving me the notice once I got around 700 miles. I took it to Land Rover and there was nothing wrong with it and the oil level was all good. The issue just fixed itself, maybe a breaking in quirk, funny to see it happen on another V8. I previously owned a 21 G63 and I have to say I enjoy the Defender a bit more. This is my 3rd Land Rover and nothing quite drives like one. I think the 5.0 V8 might even sound a bit better than the G63, it has more character overall. The Defender is a ton of fun and a definitely in the top of all the vehicles I have owned.

[@williamlau2405]

Perfect ad for Land Rover company

[@gt3tfc173]

Same here. The V8 has so much character, absolutely love it. Had also a Cayenne GTS, Audi SQ7 and the new Range Rover P530. But I will stick to the Defender V8.

[@Yourbrightspot]

It's good while it's still under warranty. Once it runs out the car should be disposed.

[@gt3tfc173]

I think this view is a bit outdated. And 5yr warranty is ok. Had serious issues with the brakes of the SQ7, pretty annoying. But let‘s see…

[@littlsuprstr]

So many negative comments on here. I wonder how many of the experts on here have owned one of these? I have a defender and my wife a Disco. I’ve owned 5 land rovers, and, with the exception of the Freelander (lr2), all are quite amazing. The defender is the best of the lot. Built like a tank, fast, great on and off road. Just wish people would just quit with the arm chair expertise.

[@jeffer1101]

A couple of people I work with have Range Rover Sport models and both have had a few smaller issues (haven't heard about coolant or oil issues). A new vehicle needing coolant or oil so much would worry me about head gasket issues (assuming there are no puddles under it showing an exterior leak). I get that it's a status symbol and is really nice inside, but for me, I couldn't handle spending that kind of money and have such problems, especially when you can buy a $30,000 Toyota Corolla and put 500,000 kms on it with minimal problems. If I wanted a high(er) end vehicle like this, I'd get the new Lexus GX.

[@L110508]

For Landrover, if the check engine light does not turn on in a year, you'd need to check the check engine light.

[@omendarklight1526]

😂😂Hell nah, mystery coolant leak every 6 months. One game I don't want to play. Pass Great review you two!! Love this channel 👏👌🏾 Not that Oil light tho 😅

[@rich7447]

I don't blame you. If the oil is not milky and there is no coolant on the ground then only one place that it can be going and it isn't a good place.

[@parrishwien6909]

I bought an XJR and loved it. Got the extended warranty and sold it before it expired. Now I have a ‘23 AMG GLE 53. It is giving me 19.9mpg which I like compared to my 2017 GLS550 which had the height and standing if not the panache of …say an Autobiography, but such as it is, I liked the lower profile. Despite whatever, I would still consider a Defender, but no complaints at all about my GLE53.

[@carlhee3044]

For what it’s worth We are on our 3rd RR and we’ve had Zero issues!! I know Land Rover has had issues in the past….But since TATA motors took over the company the reliable is as good as anyone! …..As far as the add a quart of oil……When vehicles delivered they have minimum fluids in them And need to be serviced completely upon arrival to dealership….Just FYI

You’ll be shouting from the dealer’s parking lot while you’re waiting for the service bay to work on your shit box. Go ahead, spend 100k+ on this piece of shit but make sure you have a Honda or Toyota as a spare vehicle. You’re going to need it.

I have a 17 Yr old Range Rover sport bought new. It has been faultless, tyres being the major expense. I do have it regularly serviced. I also own a new Defender 90 so see how this one pans out.

Frequently, going to the service department isn’t the big problem with these vehicles. The big problem is when the service department has no idea how to fix the issues that are going on with the cars. That’s my experience anyways.

[@gs98999]

I think at this point Land Rover just needs to go all EV ASAP. That is the only thing that may improve their reliability.

[@Rzagski]

Had 5 different Rovers, one discovery and 4 RR’s. Off-roaded all of them, extensively enough so that they had some rocky mtn pin stripes. The problem is when things go wrong when the mileage is high. Lack of aftermarket parts and shops to keep the. Running inexpensively.

[@gw8405]

At 6:45 - the volume knob is conveniently closer to the passenger while the driver uses the easy to use steering wheel controls. The shifter is a convenient perch for the hand when using the touch screen. BTW - the RHD version flips the center console controls to allow the same. The Defender is legit. Rugged inside and out. You can be filthy from hikes, hop in, dogs too, deep clean the interior with lots of water and not worry about harming anything. Regular over the air software updates have been seamless. Not sure if I believe the JLR service tech skit claiming 36 month warranty @ 13:20. The reality is the warranty is 48 months, 50K miles bumper to bumper. 6 year corrosion. Ours is 23K miles old. No issues other than want to enjoy more off road time :)

Kudos on the great reviews and content you put out....been watching since the OG DT days! I like that you review everyday vehicles as well as the more premium and exotic ones for good measure - the Defender V8 being no exception! In terms of enthusiast cars, (CTR, ITR, M2, CT4-BW, ZL1 etc ), what would you say would be the one most likely to hold it's value, given that a lot of these vehicles are selling significantly over MRSP? Thanks!

[@simonuden8450]

I'm a Land Rover fan. I've driven nothing but LR since 2003, but this is the most pointless car they've produced. It is more expensive than the RRS SVR, less powerful, less capable on road, and nowhere near as capable off road as a base model Defender, with smaller wheels and bigger sidewalls on the tyres (tires). If you want something that sounds good, buy an SVR (if there's any left), with 575 bhp - it's cheaper. I own an SVR, it's my second, and it is a lot easier for my partner, who is 5' 5", to get in and out of, because its access mode is lower. And, as for practicality, I've heard people say that the Defender is not that good - especially for access to the rear loading area. The floor is only flat to the back of the rear row of seats, and the seats don't fold flat. When LR brought out the Discovery 5, they threw away the benefit that the Discovery 3 and 4 had, which was a completely flat loadspace with the 2nd and 3rd row seats folded flat, and it was over 6 feet long. They didn't rectify this mistake with the Defender, so the Discovery 3 and 4 are still very popular, at least they are in the UK.

[@petehelme7714]

The LR Discovery (5) is underrated IMO; much better ride, comfort than the Defender with some similar utility and better MPG (for less money). You *can* get an essentially flat load floor in the Discovery by holding down the seat fold button in the back after the initial close. But it effectively mashes the seat cushions and is not recommended.

[@daftvader4218]

I heard a guy saying that Land Rover off-road means out of the road because it is at the car shop. In any case, LR has incredible interior designs, impressive, the outside is a looker as well. However, with the introduction of the Lexus GX, would prefer the GX for reliability.

[@rich7447]

We have the GX460 and it is extremely reliable. I hope Toyota didn't make a mistake going with a forced induction engine.

[@PacificForager]

I would like to purchase two Defender 110 V8 from 2025. One for Tokyo and one for Kelowna. Thank You Land Rover, Andrea and Zack! (Sorry for the inconvenience). 😊 I would like to cancel two Defender 110 V8 orders. Thank you. ❤

[@nicholassmith7048]

LR needs to put a proper off-road wheel and tire package on this thing instead of silly 20-22" rims with low-profile tires. Give me some proper 35-37" tires befitting the Defender nameplate.

[@gregp.7148]

Some 15 years ago in Montreal I rented for a weekend a Chrysler 300C with the V8 engine and with city and backcountry road driving, it consumed more than 20L/100km. I stopped counting the gas mileage at the gas station once I knew that it was over 20L/100kms… Sad, but true.

[@williamlau2405]

Is this what they call "market segmentation"? Land Rover, Mercedes, Jeep, Ford (Bronco) impliicitly got togerher and carved up for themselves a segment of the market. Land Rover took the segment of the market of the image conscious types, those wanting to drive a status rugged, advenutre seeking, and tough person image portrayed vehicle but dont have enough money to buy a G-wagon. In other words, those who don't want to be seen driving a Toyota/Lexus. Land Rovers are tuned to rev at high RPMs. They often tail other cars bumper to bumper. They pass on the right side lane. Land Rover knows the market segment the comoany plays in.

[@glennalexon1530]

Of course, Queen Elizabeth had mechanics to come fix it for her. If you don't have a team of mechanics, you should read the JD Power vehicle dependability survey before buying a Land Rover. If it weren't for Tesla, this would be the least reliable brand on the market.

[@andyradlgruber5315]

If you whittle those reliability numbers down it just means that a JLR will have 2.7 problems per vehicle sold as compared to 1.3 for a Lexus at the top. So, only one more problem? Not an issue in my world, but I also have lower expectations from manufacturers, and 2.7 issues is well within tolerable.

[@JuanLopez-oz9kh]

JLR and the only vehicle that is dumb not to purchase the most expensive dealer warranty. It paid itself in your first year of ownership (LMAO) after the bumper to bumper expires. Burning a gallon of coolant is normal (where?), tell that to Toyota and they will purchase back your vehicle.

Why do people complain about bumpy rides when they drive a 4x4? If you want a smooth ride, get yourself a city car.

I went with a 2023 Wrangler Rubicon for more capability better fuel milage tougher and I love it. I love the old classic defenders. The one the Queen was driving. These are pretty but the oil and coolant issues would not be good especially since they are over priced. I don't mind paying premium price but the product has to be worth it. I will out drive one of these in my Rubicon any day anywhere.
