lt's not a bad buyer's review, overall they like the new Defender it seems.

4 Years
I never recommend Land Rovers to people who haven’t owned one already…

My First Four Years

A Pillar Rattle - Known Issue fixed on newer models
Keyless Entry (Weak Signal) - Known Issue
Continual Intermittent Air Suspension Failures - Cold/Wet
Sunroof Slowness/Stuckness
Rear Interior Rattle
Intermittent Exterior Sensor Issues - Beeep while parke
Second Row Glass Separation
Aux Cooler Cracked/Leaked
Unstable PiviPro updates/versions
Wireless Apple CarPlay Issues/Disconnects

But I do tell them that they’ll have a hell of a time driving one while it works!! Thankfully drivetrain has been super solid on mine!

Well, the problems described above is common to many manufacturers.
For example, My G05 have a lot of issues: an unknown sound on suspension - left side, water pomp failure, apple car failure, poor quality leather.
G05 with zero km, brand new.
Now, I have a G06 2023 brand new, and the first problems is: unstable ID and apple car failure.

So...it's ok, but not ok!
