    - hurts less after you sit on it for 30 minutes
    - easier to service
    - leaks less fluids on your driveway
    - has better colour options
    - doesn't get as hot if you leave it in the sun
    - has better acceleration (uphill or down)
    - doesn't require hearing protection to operate
    - doesn't hurt as much if you drop it on your foot
    - retains more trade-in value
    Interesting. Most people talk about land rovers and havent ever owned one and usually the storys are always of a third party...my dads uncles brother blah blah.

    Anyway it was comfortable just the back seat could not fit two baby seats. This is the defenders achilies heel hence the arrival of the Patrol. Never leaked, is a fantastic limited edition orkney grey and black, solid, reliable and drove over everything like a tractor. So i dont know what your trying to imply. My mates 3L twin locked GU on 35s had a hard time following the same lines and im on 33s and twin locked also.

    As for resale value; bought it for $65k in 2013 and sold it for $65k to a bloke who is picking it up tomorrow. Not a typo $65k!

    Im not here to argue about my defender i just used it as an example of what ive observed from owning both vehicles. I dont know why people love to hate land rovers, they are an amazing machine and i know ill regret this sale more than any other, but i have other responsibilities these days.

    For thr record love the y62 and its amazing.
