I have to say that a husband and wife team; him with a 110 Defender and her with a D90; Strewth, how good would that look in the driveway? How freakin cutting edge fashionable would it be? You'd look at the driveway, look at your wife and reckon that this is what it must be like in heaven. His and Hers Defenders - it must be done. It must.

To the guy up ahead who started this thread - I can't say about the TD4 though if I was in his position I'd be looking at it as i too love diesels. I went on a 4WD course with a mate in his Forrester. It peed all over the X-Trail on the course for off road ability. The Sooby is a damn fine soft roader in my humble - many others agree. I never sat in an X-Trail so I'll bow to the earlier posters superior knowledge about roominess in X-trail vs Forester.
