I’ve been seriously thinking about moving from my ‘17 Range Rover Sport to the new Defender. Having 2nd thoughts now with the move. If anyone is considering a Defender, you’d be wise to watch the fiasco that TFLCars has experienced, now on their 3rd Defender. Also, you so take a look at this video from John Cadogan, an Australian reviewer and so called expert. Both sights are very entertaining and may cause one to pause and think before you pull the plug on the Defender. Links below.

 

..and yet Roman can hardly contain his excitement for his 3rd Defender. Can’t wait for my P400 in January!

 

Not quite drinking the Kool Aid yet!

 

you're drinking one flavor of kool-aid already... there are a few flavors for Defenders and a few more for Rovers in general.

 

I tried to take in everything the TFL guys have to say but it became clear at a point that they are more interested in getting hits to their YouTube channel than they are in getting a working Defender. John Cadogan...pretty much everything he says in that video has been shown to be false. FWIW I picked up my 2020 P400 HSE in December and have had zero issues.

 

 

Having just done the Land Rover experience with a Defender I can confirm the amazing ability of the vehicle as per this video.

 

My impression of this forum sometimes -- folks swoop in, go over ground that's been covered repeatedly, need some psychological support over a car purchase, never to be heard from again. Or... they feel funny that they might want a Defender, they want validation that maybe this funny feeling is actually normal by asking people who are 'enthusiasts', and then either come out and buy one or become Defender-phobic to repress these funny feelings...lol. It's all good, here to support you.

 

Couldn’t agree more. But I’m sure every forum has a fair amount of trolls ready to blast a product they don’t even own
