Yes I do... Although, TBH I'm not sure if it is a complete XS spec... Or maybe Land Rover have seriously down graded their kit...
Some things to note... My 110 USW XS (2013my) Didn't have a leather rim'd steering wheel?...

There was no rear step

and of course there are no carpets, Only what can be described as the cheapest nastiest floor covering known to man... Luckily enough I ordered the rubber floor mat's (expecting to get carpet)... Which at least gave the floor some protection...
There are large areas of badly painted (or should I say.. not quite painted) floor, which are easily scratched and look a mess in no time... It doesn't matter how bad it is, It can always get worse...

Why do you need a rear step on a Utility ?? IIRC, Utility don't get them, as there were no seats California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

If you have to get in the back... Have you tried without it?.... Leap of faith comes to mind... I'm sure somebody on here will be able to tell me if this is correct... I'm only commenting as my neighbours 110 USW XS (2010) had Carpet, Step and Leather rim wheel std from the factory

The step is standard on Station wagons, and a option on Utillity's

There have been a few XS's coming through with the wrong steering wheel (we've had 3 so far). It is an easy warranty issue and should have been picked up by your supplying dealer. Phone them and get them to sort it!

Interesting, I noticed the interior when I had my test drive, the thin floor covering didn't look particularly nice, I will
be giving mine the fine detail inspection when I get it, the reduction in interior carpets etc could be a scaling down due to the new model rolling out in 2014, it's anybodies gues really.

We'll just have to see on the day?

Cheers fellas.

No rear step on my 2012 USW XS. Poor quality thin carpet. In hindsight, what a bloody disgrace for £30,000+

I commented on the wafer thin matting in the XS station wagon I had a go in at Eastnor the other day and the Experience chap said it was more due to the fact that the spec was being kept basic to keep the "commercial" tones with which Land Rover can keep building and getting round the EU conformity issues that are responsible for ending the Defender production.

The problem with the thin matting and no carpet is as soon as a stone gets thrown up at the underside of it you get a mighty bang and s..t yourself Laughing
The carpet sound proofs you from the noise.
I think I'm going to start making some changes.
New steering wheel
New carpeting through out.

I still can't believe I've been done out of a leather wheel Rolling with laughter bas....s

Strangely enough, I did phone the dealer and they said that the latest XS no longer has a leather rim'd steering wheel... Can anybody confirm if it does...???...
I did have a whinge to LR customer care (Over the flooring) and they have now come back to me saying that they're willing to give me 250 (inc vat) towards carpets... As I ordered my car in December 2012...(from the old catalog)
Still... It does sometime make you wonder if they're just throwing them together with whatever's lying around It doesn't matter how bad it is, It can always get worse...
