So I test drove a rover yesterday. I'm 6'3 185 and I couldn't get comfortable. I felt super high in the rover and the seat cushion felt super low. Maybe I didn't play with the seats enough? Thanks Justin | ||

You should try a Boxster man - now there's a comfortable ride. Crappy Rovers, not sure why anyone owns one... | ||

I'm 6'4 220 and couldnt get comfortable when i test drove an '00 disco. after playing with the seat for a while i found a decent position and got used to it. I hit the change tray with my knee every now and then but its not a big deal. theres a place that can extend the seat rails. i dontknow where though but you can probably find the thread in the archives. | ||

Maybe you could have your knees removed. That should help you lose some of the extra height. | ||

When you are over 6', you have to want to be comfortable in a Rover to get comfortable. You like it enough and you will make it work. | ||

I am 6' 6" and have had a 90 RRC, 98 RR, and 95 Disco. The Disco I is by far the most comfortable especially if you use this method to gain more leg room. http://www.discoweb.org/legroom/index.htm | ||

Did you flip the rails on the 98 RR as well? | ||

I'm 6'7" 220 and have an 03 Discovery, I seem to fit just fine but 1/2 an inch taller I would be out of luck. | ||

Leigh - I have not flipped the rails on the 98 RR...proably won't since that's my wifes ride and she's 5' 3" Matt - did they chage something in the 03's because I can't fit in the Disco II's? | ||

Sat in a DII today and had time to mess with the Seats. I was able to find a comfortable position, my new question are the seats in a D1 able to go down as much as a D2? Justin | ||
