The new Disco was in town for the Week End at the Local Dealership. No chance to have a test drive, but I had the chance to have a test-sit. I'm really impressed by the progress in the apparent quality, equipment and practicality. It was an HSE 7-seater, so loaded with telephone, leather seats, moonroof and everything. The trunk is a lot more convenient than the one of my (now sold, *sob*) P38. The salesman was about to tell me that the Off Road Capacities were near the Defender. Of course, it's salesman talk. The space behind the driver's seat is not as big as what you could think. We're far from the P38. But let's face it, it's not that bad : I'm 1,85m tall, and with the driver's seat set for me, I can still sit behind. It's just, but it fits. The third row is quite comfortable, although I wouldn't recommend it for an adult on a long trip. I do not think it's designed for long trip anyway, since the trunk is only 26 cm deep in a 7-Seater configuration The test drive is scheduled in 3 weeks or so. Drawback : there is only the 7-seater version available, and only in HSE. If you want the SE model in 5 seats, it's only for February. A good way to have the customers paying 5,000 Euros more for features they do not need. Maybe I'll buy a Toyota *hiding behind the laptop, waiting for the flaming to begin* !
