    I'm back in a Defender!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We sold our 110 two years ago because the kids out grew the back seat. A Discovery 2 took it's place & although it was more comfortable, cooler, warmer, quieter, etc, it just wasn't the same.

    Last Saturday we picked up a 2012 Defender 90!!

    What about the kids you may ask? The crazy thing is there is more leg room in the back seats of a 90 than there in in the back of a 110.

    We usually have the camper trailer in tow when we go camping so space is not a big issue for us.

    Now other Defenders wave back where they didn't in the Disco.

    It feels GREAT to be back!!!!

    So then, with the Puma 110 these days, if the kids outgrow the rear bench, you can put them in seats 6 + 7.

    Use the middle of the car for storage.

    There is heaps of leg room in the 90, my plan is to get a camper trailer eventually for the same reason you say, you still have the same capacity to carry all the camping gear but you can unhitched the trailer and away you go! Great looking 90 mate!

    Only problem with that is you can't put passengers behind a cargo barrier.
