I would say if it will be your first Land Rover it will be a very easy transition as it is so driver friendly. Personally I find the latest incarnation of the beast very user friendly. I never had a problem with Land Rover comfort as that is all I ever drove. However the latest model is so quiet and has tremendous get up and go. Sort of like crossing a rhinoceros with a cheetah. You have all the power and grunt that Defender always had but with a ferocious turn of speed should you need it.Great for overtaking.Regarding reliability etc do not worry. Life itself is uncertain. You could have the most reliable vehicle built and have it written off by a truck while it sat parked outside your house.
My latest mpg was 27.49mpg. This was on our latest holiday trip which is still going on.Max speed 60 mph and lots of sight seeing.
I have other posts here expounding the virtues of the current incarnation of our favourite vehicle, so you can check those out by checking posts by me.
Before I go , when we had series vehicles or even early 90 and 110 models people criticised them for their lack of power, lack of road speed and lack of comfort. People left the Land Rover fold and went somewhere else. This new model gives us all these things and many more besides.Not as simple as models gone before but that is what bureaucrats with pens do.Get to know your service manager in the garage-not the sales rep. The service manager will be your most important contact over the coming years. He should be only too glad that you show an interest. Good luck
