    Ok, my inside leg measurement is 36", what's yours?

    Do you have a long body in comparison to your legs?

    The 3" difference in our height may be in the torso or in the legs.

      Haven't measured lately but can wear 33-34 inside leg trousers so that suggests the same torso "height" and my legs being stumpy. The Rangie really does have less headroom - google it. I know this because I wanted one but tried it and bought the Jeep instead as I could fit in it.

        I've owned 3 RR and am about to buy another. I've never had a problem height wise.

        YMMV

          The road tax is 400 same as for the 3.0l Diesel.
          The Labs don't like being shut in the boot and they are not sitting on the back seat!

            That is truly weird - although as I said, I haven't tried the current model. The pre '94 ("Classic") was fine for me but the 94-02 hopeless. Maybe they changed the seat design part way though or something! I tried several though - odd.

              I drive with the seat angle backwards with a knee either side of the steering wheel.

              Perhaps it's just a difference in driving position.

              Ah well.

                Could be - I should maybe look again - Mrs PB loves the current shape RR.

                  Have a look on the Autotrader website.

                  You can buy a fully loaded 3.0 TD6 for around £30k with under 30k miles
                  (Almost half price...)
