Hello,
I've stumbled across a few very recent reviews on YT, unlike the usual journo drivel from the UK "journalists" (I'm referring to a certain TopGear off road test"), I've found these quite interesting. The first one, one of a few Defender reviews on her channel, I like the technical insight to what's what what and what does it do: https://youtu.be/Jkrz_vNN8LI?si=1tb8JN6ODv6bLzP_ The next one is very eye opening regarding anything that could and will go wrong with a Defender: ? As a new owner and having no previous experience with Land Rover products, there would normally be reviews I'd watch to form an opinion or to try to understand an issue. Having driven my Defender for 5 months, I admit, my eyes are wide open and I'm aware of most of potential problems, however, touch wood, so far so good. The Australian review is pretty much an amalgamation of basket cases of everything going wrong, some of these issues made me chuckle, some made me say WTF. Thought I'd post it a day before my Defender off road experience in Dunkeld... Cheers! |

To me, the mechanic's comments seem rather repetitive, exaggerated, and unjustified... there's a lot of general hating in the whole report. I'm not a hooligan. Defender 110 SE I6 D250 23MY

Hard to take anyone seriously with a banana yellow Juke in their workshop.
Given that this is the main forum online for the L663 when he says "some owners" just swap it out with one owner on this forum. 5 years ago. Very whiney and little facts or details. Shame, always happy for a balanced review, but that don't sell no clicks and ads. Edit - they obviously were not happy to have that fact pointed out because they deleted my comment. Says it all. |
