Puma is no different to any other model,I'm 6'2",If I could push the seat back further,or raise it I would have to lean further forward and duck down to look out of either side windows.The Defender is not made for tall people,you have to make an extra effort and compromise if you are tall.

I'm 6', and I have no worries, however my son in law is 6'8" and is a big boy, and has come to absolutely love Defenders sinse we got ours,....unfortunately, He simply cannot even fit behind the wheel, and has very great difficulty in fitting into the passenger seat. He drives an '87 Jeep Wagoneer, 360V8 etc, lovely old thing, in which He has no trouble sitting!

6'2 (187cm) no problems here. I did raise the seat a bit. 28/02 - Loss of a good friend...

In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.

Thanks for all comments, there doesn't really seem to be a consensus of opinion. I guess it depends on the individual.

Will have to test drive to really know I think.

Cheers

6'3" here...

Not a concern, in fact it's noticeable that I find it easier to get into the vehicle (side steps removed on mine)

6'3" over here. A ride in the Landy is more comfy than in my 1995 Twingo.
Especially if you're gonna put off high shoes.
