Wrangler is a very good choice especially if you are going to mountains. Are you moving Angel? Otherwise is a real TRUCK.

I was ready to buy the 4door version (somebody said it has 4seats!!) but my daughter couldn't sit back there.

Here as I was testing the car for Car & Driver (my secret job)



 2009 Range Rover Sport 2.7 TDV6 SE, Alaska White, Almond leather, tinted windows, active rear diff, tow pack, HiICE, full spare: gone and already missed

2004 Fiat Panda 1.2 Climbing 4x4

There are no good days, just some days that are not as bad as others!


Gone RR 4.0 P38 Autobiography MY99 Red ( money pit)
Gone RRS MY06 2.7TDV6 HSE Rimini Red
Gone RRS MY10 3.0TDV6 HSE Bali Blue with lots of bits (never grew to love it)
Here Now - 3.6 TDV8 FFRR OVERFINCH Stornoway Grey - loving it x
My work car Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDci Zetec auto Estate in Silver

TBH I would of thought a man of your refinement will find it a bit rough and ready compared to your recent motors, (at least 1 step down from A3)

don't mention the A* word...


btw i test drove the car and found it very comfortable... - i drive only in the city anyway....

the 4 door version has 5 seats the 3 door one has 4

Anyway it's a very capable offroader but far from your recent cars 2009 Range Rover Sport 2.7 TDV6 SE, Alaska White, Almond leather, tinted windows, active rear diff, tow pack, HiICE, full spare: gone and already missed

There is cheap cars and cars that are cheaper.

Secondhand could buy class and save a bucket full of depreciation, but if your mind is set, then who are we to stop you, least we tried

To quote the comments about the Jeep Wrangler in What car? mag - "For - Breath taking offroad, not too bad on it, the diesel engine makes it a realistic purchase. Against - Steering is very vague, the seats uncomfortable and resale values are nowhere near a Land Rover Defender's!" No wonder they are cheap! Angel a Defender 110 County Stationwagon (9 seats too!) or a 90 CSW (4 seats) would have been much cooler and retain it's value far better and you would still have the vague steering and uncomfortable driving position, OK so you wouldn't get a 3.8ltr V8 but the 2.4 Puma engine is pretty good and you will see nearer to 30mpg than the Jeeps "aston rivaling" thirst. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

V6 and i found it way more comfortable to drive the Jeep than the Defender... they are the same price here...

Well, yes, the Jeep is a lot more comfortable than the Defender. The Defender is a car for maniacs, I like it but as a toy not as a car.
There are a lot of other nice cars, too, for that sort of money at the moment. But I know you neither like Porsches nor Mercedes AMGs which both is a pitty: you could have a W211 E55 AMG right now which is a very beautiful and really good car. Actually if I did not have to drive 170 km a day I would buy one.

edit: Just recognized you have already decided. Still a pitty you do not like Porsche or Mercedes. RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration
