Anyone look at the New Land Rover Defender ????

[broncoj11]

Haha glad I am not alone in my affliction. That 6 adds some $$$$. I know to wait for the Bronco but I so loved my Defender test drive. I barely made it out of the dealership without telling the dealer to take my money. Weird thing is I am now 50 and almost an empty nester and the Defender fits me better than the Bronco. I almost feel like the Bronco styling is directed more towards the 30 and under crowd, where the Defender is 40 and up.

i’m gunna test drive one soon. I won’t buy another car for myself anytime soon since we’re getting the bronco for my wife. but maybe some time down the road once we have it paid off I may lean towards a defender. such a polarizing look.

Theres a Defender 110 SE review in the Nov. C&D. I like the 8200lb tow capacity, but the as tested price is $82k, weighs 5773lbs, rolling start 5-60 in 7 seconds. I think a non-sasqautch 4 door OB Bronco 2.7 with some engine mods will be lighter and faster, and much more reliable. Only real advantage for the Defender is tow capacity, which is a huge difference, but maybe I can make the Bronco's 3500lbs work. The Bronco will also be about $30k less.

Well having had a Land Rover before which has sworn me off anything British built, I would be a hard no.

They say 9 out of 10 Land Rovers are still on the road.....The other one made it home.

 

[BroncBro]

Nope

 

[frinesi2]

Not even remotely.

I gotta stick with the Bronco. Nobody else has one. Had chances to get something else over the years but nothing appealed to me. Ford announced the Bronco release, I was all over it.

Do the doors come off?

Does the roof come off?

Nope

 

[Chrism81]

nope. Land Rover no longer has a good track record with quality. People are already complaining of problems with the defender.

 

[Gamecock]

How easy is it to take the top off the 110?

 

[Velociraptor]

No. Prefer the Bronco. The Defender might be in the picture if towing capacity is very important. Otherwise the Bronco is better off road and easier and cheaper to outfit. I am talking about the USA. Other countries will be different.

If you're worried about the bronco and the glitches in B&P and it being a new vehicle - I can assure anything in the rover family will see tenfold the problems. My wife worked for them up until a few months ago and her co workers on the sales and service side steered her away from getting one - we were looking at a Range Rover Sport. Way too many vehicles being lemon law problems.

I will say the white steelies are fantastic.

My wife drives a Land rover velar its a little different than defender but they have all kinds of software issues and honesty I hate driving it when I do. Bronco all the way! Its just different! No comparison
