Seat base too short?
I'm quite keen on a new Defender 90. However when I went to test drive one recently, I found the seat base very short and my legs hurting only after driving a few miles. Has anyone experienced that and is there a solution to this? I'm 6' 1".

I find the opposite pal! I’m 5’8” ish and find it a bit too short! I don’t think you can extend it out like you can in some other cars, but I know there are a few companies out there that fit recaro’s etc. might be an option.

I'm 6ft and find the seats and driving position super comfy in my 110. I've also done 19,000 miles in a year including three 2000+ trips in mine no issue. Thumbs Up Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.

Depending on the seat configuration, thr seat base tilts up and the front edge can also move independently.

I find my 110 with the 14way leather seats very very comfortable. The memory function is also nice.
