Sat in a 110 the other day at the showroom, and didnt find the elbow room all that comfortable.
Didnt drive it....no salesman came near me, maybe the new haircut scared them off?
How do you guys find the lack of elbow room?

It's something you get used to I guess. I drive with the window down and I have raised my center cuddy box so I use that for an arm rest instead.

i'm 6 foot 94kg and have no troubles with it

It is a bit of an acquired taste but I have found it really good. I am a bit of a short A and as a result, I find the window elbow position really comfortable as it is not too far away. I always drive with the windows up.

E box has raised the height of the console and every now and then I bump my elbow and the little lever can be a bit more difficult to engage but it is not as if most people are changing in and out of 4WD all day so it is not a hassle.

Mulgo seat rail extensions are a must IMO. Cheers

I'm only 5'11" and the elbow room doesn't bother me - I also tend to drive with the window down and elbow resting on the sill. I had more trouble with my leg against the hard plastic door handle so I took them off and cut up a leather belt and made straps/loops instead - no more problem!!

I used to think the elbow room was ok with the window up then I fitted an ex-box and it got better then with seat rail extensions its now fantastic.

With the window down it was never a problem.

In terms of salesmen coming near you just test the horn a few times, that should get their attention.

i was a bit concerned myself but after doing the cape york telegraph track a total of 10000Ks in 5 weeks i have either gotten used to it or it looks worse than it is. im 6 foot tall and accually find the seating position more comfortable than the company holden ute.

Surgery will sort that for you no prob. While your there ask for the job lot.

Ear drums - they don't call em deafenders for nothing,
Left knee mods where the hand brake sits,
Right knee where the window winder rests,
Right elbow, as there is no elbow room,
Rear right butt cheek padding to make up for the empty wallet, not for the car, the accessories!
Shorten both legs as the seat does not go back far enough,
The brain mods, only special people buy Land Rovers.

While you are in have all the belt loops removed from your trousers

Gee did I miss any important ones....

It seems like a very personal thing.

I'm 180cm (not sure what this is in furlongs), and can happily drive the 110 for hours at a stretch. I drove from Narangba to Coverty and back on Sunday, with no problems at all.

As Marty110 said, I have more trouble (though not much) with the hard plastic door handle...
