Multi purpose vehicle

Hi everyone,

New here and may I say what a nice looking forum.

Here is my dilemma.

I run my own company fitting TV aerials and satellite systems, as its a small company I cant really justify running two vehicles - 1 for work and 1 for pleasure, Ive tried pretty much all the van options out there but have always struggled with rear seating for the kids.

Currently we are using a Nissan Navara which isnt too bad really it ticks all the boxes as in seating, 4WD (we live in the sticks) but I do struggle with the lack of height with the snug top.

So looking around at other options the defender looks viable - I know I can look around on line for reviews etc but thought I would ask here for your thoughts on its viability.

The 7 seats would be ace but then again no glass in the rear panels would also be nice. What should I expect performance wise both economy and general running costs and maintenance.

What should I look out for both good and bad?

Any comments or feedback is much apprecaited.

Thanks
