countryman Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Any one own one of these, it will be an 07 onwards, diesel, i saw one with all the extras on and it did look quite good. I know the older petrol ones were not good with there huge engines just wondered what these were like. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwade545 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I have a 2 door JK 2011 model so has the 197hp and 460nm torque engine which is a lot better, smoother then the earlier 170hp model diesel. they still pull well. Ride is better then a defender on the road and on my daily commute on the motorway i get around 28-30mpg. They are not bad off road, really depends on the tyre. The 4x4 system is either in 2wd or if you go into 4wd it does not have a slipping middle diff so it is like driving a 4x4 with the centre diff on, great off road but can lead to problems if you use it for extra traction if its just a "bit" slippy. Love mine and had through shoguns and land cruisers, every trip feel like an adventure and it is a unique vehicle and the insurance is a lot less then other 4x4 as they have easily replacable bumper, doors etc so cuts repair costs. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryman Posted October 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Thanks for the info, sounds like something to think about, there is no way i will go back to a defender, but these look like what a Land rover should be like.
