    Really torn between the 90 and the 110… I prefer the looks of the 90, but the ease of getting passengers in the back is a pain. The room back there is honestly no different once you’re back there (sat in both). It’s the tiny trunk of the 90 where the biggest sacrifice is made. I guess for big hauls you can flip rear seats down…. But a long road trip with 4 passengers and you’d barely have room for luggage. Tough call.

    I've just been reading about how problematic recovering a Defender is, if it's in a truly offroad situation. Its owner's manual is very enlightening. "The vehicle should not be towed on all four wheels and should not be recovered with the front or rear wheels suspended. Doing so can result in serious transmission damage. The method for recovery and/or transportation of the vehicle is on a transporter or trailer designed for that purpose." "The recovery agent must activate the transmission park release before recovery commences. The procedure for activating the transmission park release is covered in a separate publication for service personnel." If you don't, the following happens: "If Neutral (N) is selected and the engine is then switched off, the transmission automatically selects Park (P) after 10 minutes has elapsed. If the transmission park release mechanism has not been activated and the vehicle is being towed, serious damage to the transmission will result." "If the vehicle cannot be recovered via the correct method, the vehicle can be towed on all four wheels for a short distance." " Do not tow the vehicle for more than 50 km (30 miles). Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph). Towing for a greater distance or at a higher speed may result in serious damage to the transmission." So you can only go offroad to places that are within 50-ish km of access to a flatbed truck. ... but you can't even go that far unless you've learnt how to activate the transmission park release. " Only tow the vehicle in a forward direction with all four wheels on the ground. Towing in a reverse direction, or with only two wheels on the ground, will cause serious damage to the transmission." What if pulling it out backwards is the only access to where it's stuck? " Do not tow the vehicle if the transmission cannot be set in Neutral (N)." "Do not tow the vehicle if the rear electronic differential has failed in the locked position." Crikey. With electrics that shut down the whole vehicle at the drop off a hat, how on earth does all THAT make it a good choice for serious offroading? Australia? Any continent except Europe? Hmm...

    I think the biggest issue with this SUV is it very limited in the aftermarket to add a real lift and tires especially since it isn't a body on frame. So for anyone who wants to modify it for real offroading can't (for cheap).

    That's me! I drive a Subaru BRZ and a 2003 WRX. The BRZ fits perfectly - one of the main reasons I chose it. Although, I can't quite fit a helmet in my desired driving position. I have to tilt back a touch to fit with it on.

    @@HarrisonDoesSound Very nice!! I’d love either of those! I think I’d really like a BRZ as a second car to my Camry if I could swing it in a couple years when my Camry is payed off.
