i have an 07 defender and i drive it a lot in York City which does get very congested
its pretty good because u just ride around in 1st or 2nd on tick over and dont use as much fuel, sometimes 3rd gear
Defenders have so much road presence too, i find im king of the road so people dont come near u in traffic
u always get right of way
i find it very easy to drive in the city
today was funny, on 2 seperate occasions today a merc 4x4 i think its ML or summat saw me on a single track lane and he immediately pulled over to let me (the king) to pass in my superior car
and also a new toyota hilux did the same
i think they are scared
oh i love my defender
i hope above helps
Fantastic mate! Thank you for sharing your driving experience in the city in a defender. Yes the presence itself makes the drivers scared. My father owns a Mercedes Benz G 55 AMG, when I take that out on weekends, everyone moves out the fast lane on the motorway automatically. I guess its sound of those 500 horse powers and the mightly presence of the car itself.
Quick question how did you register your defender in NY? I thought the usa banned the car? Didnt land rover stop selling the defenders in the US years back?
