Have had the car for just over a year and put almost 12,000 miles on it. No major problems to speak of. I did get a windshield crack from a rock and occasionally the audio system is slow to start up when I turn the car on, but those issues are rare and have also happened on my wife's X7 and on my Tahoe. The Defender is my favorite car I've ever owned. Comfortable, cool, great for the family, and great to load up and take to the mountains. I'd absolutely buy this car again! Update now that I'm at 30,000 miles. Still haven't had any major problems. Just change the oil and rotate the tires and it's good to go. I've taken it on family road trips for 1200 miles and it was comfortable and easy. I've also taken it off road in Moab and it handled everything with confidence and ease.

2023 Land Rover Defender 110 P525 V8 Carpathian Edition 4dr SUV AWD (5.0L 8cyl S/C 8A)

Windshield spontaneously cracked (almost all the way across) on 2024 Defender Carpathian (less than 7k miles). I had no idea this was a common problem when I purchased the vehicle, but I have since learned there a significant amount of complaints and at least one class action lawsuit regarding the known fragile design of the windshield and the expense and inability of obtaining replacements. The dealer quote is ~$3400 for a replacement but the windshield is on backorder with no ETA because of the high amount of breakage (spoke to several dealerships and availability is likely many months away; one estimate was likely 6 months). Given the lawsuit and complaints, I assumed LR must be aware so I contacted them re: potential ETA, and whether they were considering a recall or handling under warranty but they wouldn't provide any information. Unfortunately, it appears that I (along with a bunch of other people) are stuck with expensive, undrivable vehicles because of this faulty design.

Driven 95k so for and 25k of that towing 3 tonnes. I can't pick 1 thing wrong with it. Handles on and off road like a dream.

This vehicle is truly amazing! I don't worry about wet roads or snow, it goes through anything. Pot holes? No issue, drive through them. The 22" tires can take a beating. Ride comfort is not as good as our Range Rover but that is to be expected. There is a compartment or handle everywhere! No issues getting in or out and I am handicapped! The six cylinder has PLENTY of power. Grandkids argue over who gets the "way back" seat. :)

Impressive Value for 2024 90S

2024 Land Rover Defender 90 P300 S 2dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I purchased a 2024 Defender 90S. This base model is my exact specification. It has a Khaki interior and a few options: white roof, Pangea Green paint, exposed tow hooks, tow receiver, and 18" white steel wheels.) The Defender has been flawless so far. The 2.0L engine is smooth and robust. The highway ride is luxury-level quiet, with smooth transmission shifts and responsive handling for an SUV. All the technology works, and the standard active and passive safety systems prevent a potentially severe crash. The standard kit on the 90S is very impressive. I plan to attend a Land Rover Experience event in the spring to develop my off-roading skills and utilize the Defender's off-road capabilities. When I compared our base 90S features against other luxury and near-luxury brands with the same equipment, the Defender was the value-for-dollar winner. The upper trim levels can get eye-wateringly expensive, but the 90S, at $56K, is a solid value. I highly recommend this 2024 vehicle.
