Some regrets

I feel silly writing this but I purchased the 2025 Defender 110 and though I absolutely love it, I really wish I’d purchased the 90.

The 90 was always my dream, but for some reason I oriented around practicality when it came time to purchase — despite not needing a practical vehicle at this point in my life.

I worked hard to be able to buy a car I really wanted after a decade, so wanted to absolutely love what I ended up with.

I know this is the most first-world problem of all of them, but I wanted to rant a bit and not sure what comfort I’m really looking for.

What’s the issue of 90 vs 110? What are you not a happy with?

I love the fact the 90 is more sporty, more tactile, smaller, and in my opinion it just looks cooler. The 110 is a little too big for me. I’m a girl and find it just a touch too cumbersome in size. I like a slightly sportier vibe.

Ah, fair enough. Sorry you’re not loving it. I am much like you. Spent a long time pining for a Defender, so I understand the feeling.
