Why? Because it's a Defender! I've had two, both 300tdi, and I loved them. Imagine rolling down a rocky hill in a metal dustbin, and when you get to the bottom your wallet is empty. That just about covers life with a Defender in my experience. They're uncomfortable, slow, noisy, expensive, unreliable and they leak in both directions, but are still great. Everyone should have one, they're as good as it gets
