Thread: Some Perentie questions, thinking of buying one..

An isri seat has the option of an arm rest. Makes a big difference on a long drive.

Totally agree. Driving a Ford Transit Van is much more exciting than driving a Puma.
Seriously though if you want to buy a reliable Land Rover that has loads of useable torque and amazing off road capability then buy a Perentie. They are cheap, well built and comfortable to drive IMO and if you look after it, it will give you years of reliable service. Just don't expect to be driving around the outside of a Ford Transit Van on Turn One of the Nurburgring in a Perentie!
