    New Defender Aussie Road Tests and Reviews

    On Facebook have been watching a carsales.com.au comparison between the new 6 cyl Defender and top of the range Toyota Prado Kakadu.
    Comparing all the usual; interiors/comfort/ergonomics/ride/driveability/on road and off road etc.
    The Defer gets a huge rap and thumbs up.
    Wins the contest hands down in virtually every area.
    Even suggested its a better car for the school run........
    Nice to see an honest & frank comparo which is not biased towards you know who.......
    Before: Ser 2a LWB, Ser 3 S/W, 1979 RR 2 door, 1981 LR Stage 1 V8 (new), 1985 LR 110 V8 County (new), 2009 RRS TDV8
    Now: MY13 D4 TDV6. "E" rear diff. Cambo's magic Engine & Auto Tune. 1968 Austin 1800 Mk1 auto (my 5th)

    The Patrols could do with losing the stock side steps in favour of sliders but this vid compares Defender 2 indy suspension to Y62 indy suspension. The Defender did not appear to have quite the suppleness and travel of the stock Nissan.

    Many of the Patrols were modded, where the Defender looked to be shod with road going slippers.
    The Patrols would have been at least 500KG heavier, as well.

    Agreed mate. But I was more interested in the stock blue one with road tyres v the stock Defender 2. The Patrol if anything looked more planted and at ease. At the least it didn't appear to give anything away to the Defender. Cheers
