England 2009 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 HT Santorini Black
Jeep Renegade
So it's been three years and two days since my beloved Defender went off to it's new owners, and despite a few promising starts, I've not owned another since, and it's looking likely I'll not own another anytime soon - especially as I need a Transit, but I'm sure I could make do with a 110 USW....... Whistle

I don't know if that's the reason I've found myself being distracted slightly by inferior Jeeps though. The most distracting being the little Renegade. There's one local to me, which I found pretty ugly looking when I first saw it. But the more I see it, the more I think I like it.

And they're actually very impressive off road too...

I can't help but think Land Rover need something like this instead of the 30k+ posh stuff.

I admit I've not really kept myself in the loop with the DC100, the last I heard there were rumours it was going to be put into production as a standalone model rather than a Defender replacement, and if it did surely the Renegade have a run for it's money, in both looks and ability.

Hmmm not sure myself.

If you want something basic and capable from Jeep why not look at the Wrangler? -------------------------------

Renegade is to Wrangler what Freeloader was to Defender.

In the absence of a soft-top Defender (which I was hoping the "Last Editions" might include when I put down my five hundred quid deposit in 2013), a Wrangler 2-door doesn't seem too a bad Summer runabout.

But a Renegade? Might just as well go Japanese or Korean...

I think I'd prefer a Jimny tbh.

Or a Duster.

Or a Niva.

Is it me or is that on portals? If so that's quite cool. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.
