The word you are looking for is compact or cosy.

I hadn't noticed that! Look at the height of the centre console too

You can see some of the damage resulting from time wasted at the 'ring; what on earth is a Land Rover doing with side bolsters on the seats? 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

I do like the look of it, has a quality look to it. Had a similar colour in a RS6 and loved it. More side support the better for me I rely heavily on the arm rest when going round corners as my back constantly aches and sideways movements aggravate it MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far it's just the all important figures I'm waiting for. My salesman says the 2.0 5 seat coil sprung D5 should start below current Graphite prices. Reckoned £45kish start with £48k-£50k for a sensible spec, but that's just his speculation.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

On many other car makes, everything is an optional extra. Just because you have the SD version (Super-Duper)doesn't mean it comes with say electric seats or a sun roof. One thing I love about Land Rover is that if you get the HSE version it will come with a list of optional extras included. Same if you get the XS version etc. Yes of course you can add a few more bits but overall you know what you're getting. I remember going to test drive an xc70 and being surprised that the same model as a friend had, had none of the child bolster seats, adapgive cruise, etc that he had. Basically you know what you're getting. Let's hope they make this clear with the new D5.

Wouldn't a 2.0 litre 4 pot diesel and springs make it very like a larger DS?2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

They will probably add a SVO and Autobiography to the D5 range too just to make it a bit more complicated MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten
