Land Rover Defender 4x4 Review
The Defender remains remarkably close to the rugged, go-anywhere workhorse vehicle with which Land Rover was launched as a brand, shortly after World War II. True to the epithet "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", its virtues remain in its robust construction and supreme off-road ability. Over the years, creature comforts have been added, more modern engines deployed and safety equipment improved. It's a great choice as a working vehicle, if rather spartan and slow as an option for everyday transport.

Land Rover Defender 4x4 Equipment
Permanent four wheel drive with dual range gears and the packaged ABS / traction control and HDC is about the limit of the Defender's equipment. Power steering is naturally fitted but you wind up the windows by hand and stick you arm out of one to adjust the mirrors. The County specification, the higher of the two, gets a manual sunroof and cassette player to add to the base vehicle standard radio. You can get air conditioning as special order or open the two letterbox sized vents beneath the windscreen! However the equipment levels are like so for a reason. You don't want to find that a short circuit has prevented the windows opening in the middle of a deep river you've stalled in. But in the city it feels very basic.
