Just been delivered on loan today as our other 07 plate defender is tits. 10 miles on the clock, alpine audio, folding seats in the boot, side steps and that new car smell. Just doubled it's mileage doing some jobs to 20 miles! :O
It's very refined compared to the series obviously, it's nice and easy to drive, 1st isn't required unless pulling away from a steep hill. The suspension was really nice on the road, don't get to go off road, been told explicitly by the boss not to damage it! first time I've driven a LWB and defo prefer a SWB.
i broke the van in work went over to rental company to get replacement they asked what i wanted d3 commercial or a landrover van please, got told the vw is over in the corner make do!!!. Why did you ask, its just habit sir.
