Why drive around in broad daylight with those pathetic yellow sidelights on? You would have thought in 2018 they would have fitted DRL's. Defender 90XS SW

It still beats me why they went to the trouble of fitting a leather dash (which, in my personal opinion, is hideous, tacky, and naff) and yet didn't fit a double-din centre with a decent sat-nav. That thing is pathetic!

Was the bonnet actually shut in that video? Every time they ran the slow panning shot across the "Defender" lettering on the bonnet it looked an impossibly-large gap between the bonnet and the closure panel!

I can see the appeal of the engine and gearbox, but it really is a massive amount of money to pay for a vehicle with all the defects and anachronisms of a Defender.

It’s designed for those who know not of the defender heritage ,but those who want one as a status symbol and bragging rights

It is lovely but it is NOT £150k.

No double din, seems insane as they look factory when modded on the pumas and should have fitted a smaller wheel.

Love the fact that the 110 apparently costs 10k more to buy than the 90... because it’s so much more expensive to engineer the 110 when you’ve got such a tight profit margin!! 2014 Keswick Utility 2.2

Well I love it! Smaller wheel, proper double din and if I had a spare million just sat in the bank, I'd have one in a flash. James
