Just watched it myself, I thought it was a good fair comparison. I didn't appreciate how capable the Wrangler was off road before modifications I must admit - lets hope that the replacement Defender can compete.

Enjoyed that,
Has me tempted to see if I can get a drive in a Rubicon just to see for myself  My confidence has been writing cheques that my abilities can't cash for years. |

Fair comparison.
When I start to see a 4x4 for the family one thing gives the Defender the prize: The capacity (7 seats) + roofrack + 3 ton trailer. I'm not a guy to be playing in the rocks mud or sand if is not necessary. For that probably a Rubicon will be a good option 
But anyway the Defenders goes near in that. Cheers Eduardo MY 2007 110 SW PUMA 2.4: Big Fog of 64' MY 1994 Jayco 1207 Folding camper: "El Tremendo"  Click image to enlarge Last edited by Eduardo on 19th Nov 2015 3:13pm. Edited 1 time in total |

I did, earler this year on vacation in Curacao I rented one. It is so much more a (big) car, drives smooth, much more comfort and better seating postion, but then indeed almost no storage room and: total lack of character! 
So, good review, my conclusion were the same  Cheers, Vincent

It doesn't need to have much storage for an owner to carry their scissors and curlers......

I owned one for 5 years. Tons of fun. Now that I'm an adults with a real job I drive a Defender. You can't measure what a Defender offers. How do you objectively measure the feeling of turning over your TD5 after a long day of work or the quality of the people who own Defenders and post on sites like this one! It's a different culture a different way of looking at adventure a different way of living and looking at life. For me I'll never own any thing else but a Defender.
