Read the review… right truck, wrong reviewer. Pretty much everything he complained about many of us would consider endearing features! So many car makers are going for “retro” looks but here’s one that is going for retro performance as well, is that really so bad?

I haven’t read the review but I did test drive it.

The biggest issue I had was the steering sucks.

It has this weird dead spot but also as you go around turns the wheel doesn’t naturally go back to center so you literally have to turn it back. I’m sure you can get used to it but I hated it. For a car that expensive I would think it could match a defender at the very least.

The reviewer also hated the steering. Harry Metcalf did a review on his YouTube channel, "Harry's Garage" and also commented on the steering being a big issue. Meanwhile the new Defender has speed sensitive rack and pinion steering. You spend the vast majority of your time driving on regular roads. The experience should be pleasant, not trying.....
