The driver seat exerted too much pressure beneath my thighs; it could fit you better. |
|
2020 Land Rover Defender mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Comfortable height off floor, but marginal legroom if space must be made for third-row passengers. |

Some controls perform multiple functions--the learning curve is a bit steep. |
|
2020 Land Rover Defender mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Quite a bit of hard plastic, but the Defender's interior comes across as rugged rather than cheap. |

It'll do for occasional use, but comfort and space are both marginal for adults. |

Clear shoulder continues around the perimeter of the hood. |
|
2020 Land Rover Defender mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Due to its proportions and large wheels the Defender can appear smaller than it is (fairly large). |

2022 Volkswagen Taos mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Larger cargo area than the class average. Usefully square. |
|
2022 Volkswagen Taos mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Only this turbocharged 1.5 is offered. Easily adequate but not thrilling performance. |
|

Plenty of room in the high-mounted rear seat. |
|

Many people will like that the display doesn't stick up. Plenty of conventional knobs. |
|

|
2022 Volkswagen Taos mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Clean, simple forms and conventional controls--we're clearly entering a VW. |
|
