I absolutely understand the appeal of a Defender - but - they are slow, noisy, uncomfortable, unrefined, expensive to buy, expensive to fuel, and expensive to insure. If you're a teenager your insurance will be thousands and thousands.
You don't need four-wheel drive to go on maintained gravel or dirt roads - any car with reasonable ground clearance will do, such as the majority of cheap hatchbacks.
