  • @AnthonyIlstonJones
    @AnthonyIlstonJones 3 года назад +7

    I think the biggest problem people have with the new Defender is the fact there's very little on it that can be fixed mechanically in the middle of nowhere, such as half way along the Canning Stock Route or the Okavango Delta. I understand the reasons JLR went down the route they did, but that's why a lot of NGOs and Utilities are ordering Toyotas. Too much electronica creates unreliability where it is least needed. I like driver aids, they're useful in a whole host of situations, but they are no substitute for driver skill. You also need to be able to turn them off when they get in the way. How many drivers on the road these days even KNOW to turn into a slide on snow, for instance? Possibly the fault of the DVLA for not insisting on better driver training, but we don't see snow nearly as often as we used to so people don't get as much opportunity to learn.
    The new 90 is a looker though, I'll give it that. I'd have been all over it like a bad rash if they'd called it the Discovery 6 or the new Discovery Sport.

    If the Defender was iterated over the years to keep up with tech, like most models on the automotive world, 90% of the fan boys wouldn't be slagging it off. Admittedly at first I didn't like it, but slowly it's been growing on me. If I could afford I'd be buying the base model straight away, I live in rural Oxfordshire, sick of pot holes, like the ability to transport larger objects, maybe I won't be going green laning, but I like the idea of having a vehicle I know that I'll have a better chance of not getting stuck should the occasion raise. I hope this works out, electronics aren't like Lucas electronics and is reliable.

    I love the new Defender, and would own one if I could justify it, but you do have to admit that it has given up quite a bit of repairability. The old ones could be fixed with twine and chewing gum, this one will need electronics and air suspension when it goes wrong. That still means that for the vast majority of owners, even some who get off-road regularly, this new one is better, but there is a group of people who will still need the old one... or a Toyota.

As a part of the Land Rover collection is it excellent and I would love to have one, but in my opinion the design of the defender is too iconic to chance is such a drastic way.

    I like the new Defender especially the Defender 90 but I wonder how capable it actually is off road and in extreme conditions compared to the old Defender 90 and 110. I’ve seen old Defenders drive through water obstacles with water filling the entire inside of the vehicle and up to the drivers chest and continue out the other side and kept on going. I somehow don’t think this new Defender would do that and keep on going. If it did make it through it all the electrical components would be ruined. In extreme off road situations it’s sometimes better to have the old basic technology over the new high tech systems that are destroyed by water and other things.

      Reliability...my 2009 Freelander II was as reliable as a lump hammer...it just worked and you never thought of it failing. The replacement Discovery Sport had a missing rubber seal under the bonnet and the rear entertainment screens (I have probably the only car with that!)needed a reboot at first but since then and at 23,000 miles, it is running well. There is much to read of JLR failures but most is owners failing to get software updates done or simply too impatient for systems to work..and yes, they should be faster but it is easy to simply readjust your thinking. The new Defender...yes there is plenty of evidence that it has had early troubles..it needed to be better but I believe JLR are getting that sorted. I would buy one but not until next year. Remember just what it will do..REALLY DO...it is highly capable and do not be put off by stories..they are no worse than any BMW or Audi...and next year, time to buy! 🙂🙂🙂
