I didn't think this vehicle would attract any Volvo drivers!
Ha! I came from the new body style XC60. I loved that car and would have had another one but my lifestyle changed and I was able to hit the road. Can't beat the Defender for that!!

same here - loved my Polestar Optimized T6 R-Design and was hard to give it up. Although I miss my autopilot assist for highway driving, I found the rear cargo space to be disappointing overall for my needs (mostly the size of the hatch opening).

F Pace to D110 (too big for me) back to F Pace for 3 months to D90 for a year back to F Pace. Now looking for a D90 again even though the the F Pace has been great there's something about the D90 I just can't shake.

Very surprised to not see Mercedes on there, especially considering the G-wagen is one of the nearest Defender competitors. Yeah, most are fashion accessories, but I know of more than a handful in my city that are actually off-roaded regularly.

My previous was a lifted Mercedes R500. Yeah, the van thing, in non-AMG V8 form. Loved it, they're pretty underrated. But wanted more capability and modern features.

I traded in my 2019 GLC 63s for my 2022 Defender 90, I kept my 2021 GLE 63s but haven't driven it since I got the Defender 90...

Hmm, guess I am a little old school.

I switched over from a 1998 Discovery. It was my daily driver for nearly 20 years with a little over 175k on the clock. Hopefully the Defender lasts just as long, sorta doubt it though. We'll see.

Still have my Discovery, one day it'll get a full makeover.

Considering all the "reliability" woes, is it a surprise that Toyota/Lexus is leading this poll? My case too - coming from a Toyota. Although my wife still dd her beloved 4runner.

That is surprising. Although a few "early adopters" of the all new Defender that came from a Lexus didn't last too long. They sold their Defenders to Carmax once the first problem appeared. Those of us coming from a previous LR model view "reliability woes" as something normal and expected with owning a British vehicle. Thankfully my experience so far is that the Slovakian workers and robots that build the Defender are doing a better job than the British workers that built the LR4.
