my wife even agrees, well she said it and I agreed, the best vehicle we have ever had...and we have had quite a few...go ahead and make the plunge, you won't regret it. editted to say the 110 if you are married and want kids, or just want kids...90 probably is a bit of a chick magnet...or dude magnet? 2008 Defender 110 60 year Edition (sold unfortunately)

Thanks to all for the replies.
Collected RRS from dealer today, in for a warranty job, and handed back their Defender 90 CSW which I have enjoyed driving. Had a test drive in a 110 CSW XS, big difference in the ride quality I found, not so harsh by a long way. OK a RRS it aint but, with end of warranty in 6 months and the fear of possible problems which would be expensive, I bit the bullet and ordered a Defender 110 CSW XS. As you say, you feel more a part of the vehicle because you have to DRIVE it where as the RRS almost drives itself. I will miss the RRS but know I will get a lot of enjoyment from the Defender. Definately room for more Cider in the back (Tricky or Wyscome Suicider)  and I will not be so wary about taking a Defender off road. 
Thanks again fella's and Sheila's for your input and welcome messages. Cheers........TC.  Its easy to smile and be happy when the world rolls along like a song.

Hi Tony. I live near Taunton, Blackdowns end. (No green lanes in Somerset
 )
I love my 90 (bought from Taunton Land Rover) , but if choosing again would have bought a 110 double cab as they have the lower road tax, better front seat room & have a small pickup-truck area at the back. Plus the rear cab windows give increased visibility which IMO is needed given 110s' large turning circle. If you want extra carrying space, get a trailer!  Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy.

Thanks again guys,
I did think about the 110 utility xs but the insurance was a lot higher so almost cancels out the extra Brown Tax on the CSW XS. Cheers.......TC. Its easy to smile and be happy when the world rolls along like a song.
