well that it , 3 years after buying my 2nd puma ( long story ) Im chopping it in for a 110 utility , I've been trying to find one ( vat free ) and I've eventually found one .
will i regret it ? i love my 90 however with 3 kids and a dog ( only had 2 when i bought it ) the 90 is pretty much far too small ! has anyone else made the change and been happy? , i do love my 90 but ……… don't tell me if you had a 90 sold it and cried for months please ……….. |

110 utilities are great, oodles of secure boot space, 5 proper seats, more civilised on the road(ish!)
nice to drive past a 90SW and know you're paying less tax too! you'll love it Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

I've got a 90 truck cab and a 110 station wagon
And the 110 is much nicer to drive 
You won't regret it. Steve |

You won't regret it, the 110 is a much nicer beast to drive, and don't worry about parking etc it is a doddle.
 The last 90 I drove literally frightened me under braking, it was that bad. 2011 110 USW

I too am a 90 - 110 convert and I wouldn't go back. Don't know what I did without 5 seats and a boot! Only small niggle was that the hounds used to rest their heads on the cubby box and look outside, I could give then a little pat. now in their eyes there are 3 bloody seats in the way

Oh and the ride is much more reassuring and planted in the 110. My 90 always seemed skittish.....I don't miss fast bends in it at all. ===================================

All sounds good, my mutt won't like the back but she is always knocking my arm for a fuss so it will deffo be safer !
I must admit it certainly didn't feel as " bouncy " as the 90 when I drove it |

I am another 90 to 110 convert with a growing family. Best decision. Don't miss the 90 ht but do the pick up sometimes as its a go kart compared with the 110

All new 90s are now classed as light commercial vehicles even the SW. |
