Yeah my old TD5 Defender was definitely a real off-roader and a very practical vehicle. I think part of what made it so was that I didn't mind scratching it and bashing it around the bush. The D3, which I also love, is in my opinion just as good off-road but I don't have the desire to scratch it up. They're both off-road vehicles but one had a more rugged exterior and the other is much prettier. Both great vehicles in many ways, but I prefer the D3 in most ways eg comfort, ride, space, air-conditioner, cabin noise, safety, washers and wipers that work, no drips on the feet when raining, door seals which seal etc etc. 
I think the new Defender is an absolute win, spot on. It'll do everything asked of it and do it with style.  Still wont want to scratch it though.
