Upright position can be tiring.
Shoulders, elbows and wrists are
not in good anatomical position.
The dashboard looks like it did
come from 1948, but gives the
right sort of old-world charm.
The pedal box is off-set to the
left, so your right foot is canted
noticeably toward the center.
Six-speed manual transmission
requires perfect timing to prevent
the gear synchros from snatching.
Doesn’t move far back enough,
which means your feet are at an
upright and odd angle.

LIFE ON THE INSIDE
Steering wheel only adjusts for
rake, but the position is more
comfortable than the Defender’s.
A unique-looking dash. Has auxil-
iary button slots so you can add
more OEM switches.
Mounted on the top center of
the dashboard are a compass,
an altimeter, and a thermometer.
Color-keyed exterior and interior
panels look funky and liven up
the cabin.
Seats are covered in water-resis-
tant tech fabric and offer good
comfort with decent support.
