Looks nice - but if that's a bespoke cover on the tub why didn't they get it to fit better?

That's a beauty, great colour!!!

I think the DC looks brilliant, but am not convinced at all from a practicality point of view. The rear seats are really horrible to sit in (USW aren't great, but are a lot better) and the rear tub load space is very very small.

There is a good deal more useable space in a USW, and would be my recommendation unless you are regularly carrying filthy dogs or (tiny) livestock. However, if it's just for carrying front seat passengers and a bit of shopping get the DC - they can be made to look amazing!

United Kingdom 2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 CSW Montalcino Red
I really like my XS DC, hankered after one for ages and I wasn't disappointed with it after trading up from a 90 CSW. Really versatile and looks very imposing with all the gear on. Sadly, it's gonna have to find a new owner as I don't have room to keep it having just bought a newish 90.

DC inside warms up faster in the winter!
Great for dogs.
I prefer a tailgate to a rear door - can be used for sitting on, standing on, extending the load space, a bar for the apéritif....

Can't help thinking that you can have the best of both worlds:

Supacat, by far the most common configuration here in France/EU and vary between sensibly priced and toppy. But I have to say, 130s just don't do it for me. Shame, because I could pick one up tomorrow. Monsieur Le Grenadier

Really like the 130 DC and i like DC's too, but i need a CSW or Utility as then i can fit dogs, pram, kids, wife camping gear in.

Putting dogs in a Lintran and it's all good
