SupporterYeah 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.

SupporterFollowing for the last year as well with interest the concept of the Ineos Grenadier project. 1 Tonne load carrying, 3.5 Tonne towing. Might be an alternative to the new Defender?
