    Potential Owner

    Dear All,

    I have just registered.

    I currently own a dual Cab Hilux , however I am looking at buying a Defender 130. I am geared up to go, however a Defender 110 owner pointed out to me about an apparent lack of room in the drivers seat. I am 6' 2", 135kgs and built like the proverbial.

    I also have 3 kids and this would be our camping car.

    I would love some feedback as to how other owners to hear their views on the amount of driving room and back seat room etc.

    Cheers,

    John

    This one from about post #12 onwards:

    I reckon your best bet is to find one and climb in and see how it feels.

    Welcome to the forum.
    You have to seat in one and or drive one and then you will see if the vehicle it is suitable for you.
    I am 1.85 m high and my son is about 1.95. Both of us can drive the 110 for many hours without problem, other people find that it does not have enough room.
    I like very much the 130

    Yep as said try one.
    I love the seating in mine. Can drive all day and still jump out at the end. Most modern vehicles I find I'm very stiff and sore at the end of a day.

    A lot don't like the space.
