Could not agree with that statement, my Disco is at least as comfortable as my old '77 RR Classic was ............unless of course the Defenders imported into the US are different, (except for which side you drive), to the ones everywhere else in the world.
The drivers position, even at full available seat adjustment, is designed for small people with an amputated at he shoulder right/left arm, depending on right or left hand drive, ok for short trips but for a "road trip" type holiday.........nah!
