1997 Land Rover Defender Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers seem to appreciate the 1997 Land Rover Defender for its ruggedness and off-road capabilities, often noting its reliability in rough terrain. However, many also express concerns about its performance on paved roads and its reliability as a daily driver. The vintage charm and adaptability for modifications are highlighted positively, while the lack of interior comfort and some mechanical issues are noted dislikes."
my favorite car of all time...it continues to increase in value since purchasing it in 2005. i have seen very few examples as clean as mine anywhere...only 56,000 miles and all stock still. no aftermarket add ons. looking for another convertible now
December 19, 2011The ultimate mechano kit car easyto modify to your hearts content and a genuine 100% Icon of motoring. Voted the Worlds Greatest Car by BBC Top Gear viewers. It is like stepping back into the 50's in terms of handling, braking and reliability but it does have the same 50's fix it anywhere mechanics. Three most important tools: 1) Big hammer, 2) Duct tape, 3) Cable ties. Stock go almost anywhere 4x4 ability that can be easily made even better. Great off-road, not so good on-road. You choose your compromise.
February 21, 2008The performance could be better, and the overall impression is adjustable

January 20, 2008The best of the best off road vehicles
January 11, 2008I don't know much but I'd say this Rover was an O-K pal in service. It's 4WD capable, on and off road. It's literally a breeze to drive. Most notably used in military service.
March 14, 2008the most solid car I have ever driven. very utilitarian but less is more with this car.
April 4, 2008I like the looks ! and it's pretty strong on rough terrain but it's the most unreliable car I know !
