Smaller than a Disco 5 for a 7 seater?

Interesting. I think it looks brilliant. When the world calms down I’m going to have a proper look.integrale_evo wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 3:08 pm I thought new car designs were supposed to grow on you?

Same here. It also manages the very JLR trick of looking old quickly, though I’m not sure they’ve managed to achieve that before the first customer deliveries previously.integrale_evo wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 3:08 pm I thought new car designs were supposed to grow on you?

Good to see they’re fully compliant with the Road Test of 4x4s Act (1986) by including the mandated phrase.as capable on road as it is off it
I’d go and have a look at one if you can. The power sockets are part of a pack, for example, and I’ve found a base spec Defender is a great starting point with not a great deal else required on top. It annoys me people say “who would pay £70k for a Defender?” but that’s with everything loaded onto it which no one will need.Ascender wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2020 9:13 am I see customers are now getting deliveries of their 110s. They seem to be incredibly practical inside with lots of hard-wearing surfaces, grippy rubber, more power points than you can shake a stick at...
On first look though, the 110 looks too big/long.. I think the 90 has perfect proportions and I'm playing with the configurator daily which is a bad sign...
I'll have another look at the configurator, but I thought the seat options were just the trim?Orange Cola wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2020 9:46 am Not the base seats (there’s no lumbar support in them, fine for anything short of an hour but you really feel it on a long journey)
There are options for more adjustable sections and to move from manual to electric adjustment as well as the finish to the seat. The base seats design has no lumbar whatsoever, let alone adjustable lumbar support. I felt like I wanted to put a cushion between my back and the seatJobbo wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2020 10:27 amI'll have another look at the configurator, but I thought the seat options were just the trim?Orange Cola wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2020 9:46 am Not the base seats (there’s no lumbar support in them, fine for anything short of an hour but you really feel it on a long journey)
Having baulked initially at the matte wrap which you can get on the green, I now think that would be worth having if you take it green-laning. Ever since deciding to get PPF on my Jimny
+1 on that. You also get rid of the "square of pointlessness" on the side which is a must.
The 90 is the same length as the old 110, apparently I agree it looks way better than the long new 110.
