Yeah I drove a defender but the giant gear stick put me off, too tractor like- lots of fun and I do like them but this is auto with bags of power, better mpg and quiet inside, also I'm 6'1" which is on the limit for a defender where as in this I have about 30cm of headroom and space for my elbows which is nice
Am yet to visit my buddy who has a tuned twisted defender, interested to compare side by side

Guess this is the right place for new car chats- got this just before Christmas. I love it, 1987 Mercedes w460 280ge originally but it's had a 3litre 6 cylinder manual fuel pump om606 diesel installed giving it a rather lovely 280bhp and respectable mpg!
joined the gwagon owners forum but it's not very active, anyone on here have one?
going to install leather seats and refurb the walnut dash but keep it as-is otherwise. would like to get a bike rack though, can't decide between a tow bar mount or a seasucker- thoughts?
