    Land Rover Defender It's my favourite as it is an all purpose vehicles which you can take on highways smoothly and do occasional offroad. My favourite variant is the Defender X With the D300 diesel I love diesel because of its effceincy and that's they reason I can take this car to more than 300,000kms in my lifetime with fewer breakdowns The ride quality because of air suspension is smooth and plush and the moNocoque chassis also helps in that.

    Press the accelerator in the Land Rover Defender and it moves with a strong, confident push. The suspension feels solid, and bad roads don’t really bother it. Inside the cabin feels premium, seats are comfortable and visibility is nice. It is expensive and big, but people buy it because it mixes luxury with proper off-road ability and looks amazing on the road.

    Every time the Land Rover Defender starts, it feels serious. The suspension is very solid and bad roads hardly shake the cabin. The engine has strong pull, and the driving position is high which many people like. Only trouble is parking in tight city spots and the price is heavy, still, it gives real confidence on rough trips.

    I like this car because the way it looks the capability and the practicality it offers also engines from 2L Petrol to 5L V8 ig 4.4 L bmw source one is also used to a practical 3L 6 cylinder engine it has all combinations and then the 90,110&130 body styles is also some more flexibility for serving and catering the set of customers out there . But what i absolutely love about Defender is that round headlights and the og suv style and body design just wow . Defender is a no non sense car just if along the timeline JLR could prove the reliability of it then The quote could be " Defender can take you anywhere and bring you back from anywhere
