Chaps...in a dilema...want an early model L322 for the wife to ferry sprout about and something for me to use for longer trips and a practical family wagon as i drive this:

I could be wrong, but I reckon everybody will say the vogue...Better seats etc...


What colour's are they??

Vogue  All my spelling errorz are belong to me!

Nice Defender and Camping trailer. I run a Camel 110.

While a HSE might be OK, people here do sometimes refer to them as 'poverty spec' as they are missing certain bits that the Vogue has as standard.

I think the general idea is that a HSE will be harder to sell on later, which is probably why they are cheaper and less popular. Plus you have less toys in the meantime and maybe seats that are not as nice.

Personally I'd go for a Vogue. They should not be much more for an older pre-facelift one.

@discocuzzy, was it at heathrow diesels...

@fox, ..i would have liked the vogue with the extra bits but my hse has still got quite a few toys and in my case it was at the right money...

I thought yours was a Vogue Scarey.

no fox , i got a poverty spec one mate..

btw , what are the differences between a vogue and hse, i know about the tints,heated steering wheel and heated rear seats, anything else.

Actually, I never refered to HSE as poverty spec. I said:

Is that enough back-peddling?

I think the seats in the Vogue may be a bit better too.
But I'm not an expert.

Yes it was

To be honest after driving a defender, it feels pretty luxurious to me!

Nice Defender Discocuzzy

I saw Kens one recently and thought it was Ab Fab and mega

One day i would love to get one

Get a vogue, not the hse

To be honest the wife will be driving it 90% of the time, they dont really float my boat....sorry guys
A good newer reg car with a few toys will always get my vote over an old smoker anyday, not worried about the poverty spec coments...my penis is massive

Everyone here will say Vogue. To a man. And rightly so.

You CAN get away with a HSE if its well specced. But the problem is if you're buying used - even from a main dealer,- accurate information won't be available to check it has the options you want. If you buy Vogue, you know that most everything is on.

It's not about TV's - you can get aftermarket from halfords these days for 100 quid - but the little things. Nav, Bluetooth, seats, lighting....stuff you never thought of.

Even then you can be surprised - I have an Autobiography and was looking forward to cooled seats..... Not specified on my MY05.

So go Vogue. More buttons

Thanks Jay
