Just read the whole thread.. almost all the great think tanks have given expert opinion.. me as a pure Land Rover enthusiast will definately recommend LR.. new defender is much improved .. parts are also not very expensive.. been dealind in parts of it dont think LC parts are cheaper then LR.. i can prove it...
As far as comfort is concerned.. LC is far superior..
LR 2.2 engine is economical keeping in view high fuel prices.
