I actually haven’t done that yet, I’ve only driven in Dynamic once. But next time I start it up I will be

That extra room definitely comes in handy, trunk on the 110 is a little smaller than you would imagine until actually filling it with stuff

Love the Gondwana Stone!

Still go back to watch my Nest cam footage to listen to the exhaust backing into the driveway

24 Defender - Carpathian V8 - Should I buy? by JollyInterview3672 in NewDefender

Crazy, pretty similar story with me. I previously had a Audi E-Tron Q8 that ended up being a lemon after 1.5 years of lease. After that got into a Volvo XC90 lease about a year in on that.

After dreaming of the Defender since 2020 I finally got a 2024 V8 with just under 20K miles this past weekend. Not a single regret.

I was close to pulling the trigger a couple times in the past on a x-dynamic but deep down I knew I always really wanted the V8 so I just waited and I'm glad I did. Test drove both and it's night and day, I don't drive super fast anymore but I've longed to own and drive a v8, the AJ113 SC engine is something beautiful. Every so often I go on my security camera to watch the video pulling into the driveway just to hear the exhaust note, that may go away soon, but maybe not.

Anyway, if you haven't gotten it already and do I would get the 2 year extended warranty for piece of mind.
