The Spectre defender earlier in the thread isn't my one. It looks like good car but not one of the actual cars from the film.

This is mine, currently away having small Refresh as the filming took quite a toll on it.



And this is the Twisted it share home with. The Twisted conversion really does make it useable for long distance. Happy to do 500mile run to Scotland in it now.

Do you not struggle with the proximity of the driver's seat to the B-Pillar during long drives? The many quirks of the cabin (handbrake in left knee is another good one) but that one gets me the most. It means I sit with my torso leaning to the left which isn't ideal for my back after a while. I do love ours but the ergonomics could be slightly better.

It likely depends on your build and if you let things get to you. Personally I've always found Defenders extremely comfortable for long distance use. Sure, they might be nicer being a little quieter, but I like the layout and seating position.
