I've used them for work and have access to 7 identical ones. All have covered nearly the same mileage and are used for the same thing (instruction work) including wading.
Overall they are an improvement. The new dash definately brings it up to date but it does lose some of it's charm. I am 6'3 and don't struggle for leg/head room but that may be driving position also.
The Puma's have all coped well but have all suffered from the same problems over time. The most notable ones are:-
Centre Diff. The pin isn't strong enough.
Aux Belt pulleys. Wading water and non sealed bearings are not a great mix!
Random idle issues. Whilst idling a few of the cars seem to randy shoot up or dropnrevs for no apparent reason??
Aside from the above. They are a worthwhile purchase I think.
