New defender, owner opinions, discounts

[jason61c]

Hi

I've decided on a new defender or Landcruiser(2021 version).

Local dealer were offering zero discount, a few online have about 2%.

Forcescarsdirect(i'm ex), have quoted £54795 for a car listing at £58155, so just over 6%. has anyone bettered that?

From owners, any issues?(I didn't like the 2.0 4 pot), any regular things going wrong? any IL6 owners comment on motorway mpg(circa 33?)

The only reason I've not comitted is I want to keep it 8 years, also I think the toyota will be zero hassle, residuals are very strong also.

Thanks.

I have a 2l 300bhp petrol new Defender SE. Apart from Icontrol issues which is a LR issue and not the vehicle I have had no problems. 2 months old. Very smooth to drive on road. Yet to take it properly off road except for deep mud which it took in its stride.
