Make your wife test drive it first .. and not just a quick spin up the street. My wife won't drive mine at all, she wouldn't drive the Disco either, unless it's a real emergency. She loves being a gate bitch when laning, but just hates driving it.

my Mrs is without doubt fussy - but she absolutely loves the fender! makes her have an inner smile! lol aint the most comfy as we know and I have a set of bucket seats but she really does love it

I am sure everyone cares about their kids.

You don’t generally roll a Defender in normal driving. I only know of one accident in the last twenty years where kids were killed in a Defender accident and in that case the vehicle had been badly modified with a lift kit by the owner and was speeding.

which could happen in any vehicle, lift kits completely change the road feel to me. I just like plodding in the fender

Using the same logic you’d never take kids on holiday in a motor home. Roll one of those and it wouldn’t be pretty.

110 CSW's aren't too bad at parking, there's a lot of visibility from the rear and side windows plus a cheap reversing camera put high up makes it a doddle.
In fact I prefer it to my eurobox daily driver with it's low seating, ridiculous pillar sizes and blind spots.

@JimS the only thing I don't like about the 110 is the turning circle! big issue here in the lakes, how do you find yours?

Bloomin awful! But then I've got my steering stops adjusted to stop the tyres rubbing.

You can adjust the lock stops on a 110 which improves it a little, but it will never be as good a turning circle as a 90.
I drive my 110 all day every day around town, and don’t have any issues with the turning circle, you just get used to it.

hi if i had to part with my 90 i would def either get the best tdi disco 1 or a rrclassic as theyre great comfortable well capable and your more likely to find it still there when you come back from where youve been out ,and alot cheaper tbh
