    • Defender- The masculine
      I haven't bought it but driven a few hundred km, I liked the performance it has an attractive look and design, and the engine tuning is perfectly fantastic It has a masculine build which provides better stability and experience, its smooth to drive Since it was not mine it was from my close friend so I don't know much about servicing but yeah I had a review from my friend about service and he said that the car is reliable enough and needs less maintenance The car has indefinite luxuries but has a mileage of 11 only (in city drive, off-roading may result in 8n less mileage) but it's ok according to the performance of this beast.

      It is just like a beast with an engine, very comfortable and fast. Also, the road presence is amazing. The driving and rear seat passenger experience was also too good. This car made my journey exciting.

    • Great in looks
      Great in looks. Dream of many but owned by some. This appeals for people like me who love their cars more. This is a bull of Land Rover with great power within the boot. Its interior is quite interesting but BMW offers better comfort but not this feeling in it.
