I am considering purchasing my first LR. Though I am still educating myself on the different models and features, I am looking for a 5 door wagon with sufficient seats for me and my brood (9 total).
I looked at a series 1 (RHD) over the weekend and relatively satisfied with what I saw based on what I have read and learned thus far. The main issue that I had was how tight the driver's area was for me. I'm 6' 6", 240#. While I'm not fat by any means, I did find the space to be a bit confining. Not to mention the fact that the amount of leg space was a bit concerning. Between the e-brake handle and the steering wheel, I was having a bit of trouble depressing/releasing the clutch properly. Not to mention my size 14 feet were giving me issues when I had to hit the brake and clutch at the same time. Lastly, the small windscreen area required that I lean forward quite a bit to look at stop lights and overhead signs.
Without making major modifications, how do taller guys get along with LRs?
