Of course we love the Defender - but could we actually live (and work) with one full-time? John aims to find out.
It turns out I am quite unusual for a motoring journalist. Now, you might be thinking, “Yeah, we know that: can’t write, can’t drive, doesn’t know one end of a car from another.” Yes, yes, but besides all that. In a decade of trying to find my way around a keyboard and writing about cars, I’ve never, not once, run a long-term test car. I am pretty sure that puts me in a very select crowd, at least of the journalists who've written for household titles.
When the new car was announced, I thought it was going to be nothing like as toughty. It would be a car built for people who wanted to be thought of as rough and tumble, as they pulled up outside Virgin Active for their Pilates lesson with Jemimah. But, it turns out, I was wrong. I am happy to admit it, too. The new Defender might have digital screens, and this one has a white leather interior but it still feels utilitarian enough to me. Inside, the floor covering is rubber, not carpet.
Reason number three: just how good is it off-road? As you can see from the photographs, we’ve already been splashing around in some puddles and getting our Defender a bit muddy. But while it might look dramatic, this wasn’t proper off-roading. I want to do some proper off-roading in our Defender. More arduous even than driving around a Welsh hill farm. I haven’t worked out where, yet, but I am minded to find some punishing place that can truly challenge it to the max.
