    True....i must say they do go good for a tiny engine and could still be improved alot more but yes not to bad! I find the gear ratios a bit annoying but there's always a wingger they are more of a everyday driver as you said but after not driving my county for a few months I can't wait to hop in its just funner to drive I don't think the puma is going to be around as long as the countys due to stupid engineering like always great ideas by landrover but do not go beyond a idea mainly concerned about the driveline ie:the noises and failures mine is currently on its 3rd rear diff and its also rat s@#t and its not due to offroading because I don't have time to take it offroad my own opinion on why the diffs are having problems is I put it down to when landrover put the diff in the rear (before anyone says "they had them diffs in the rear of other landrovers before" I must add the next part of my theory) that is the introduction of traction control + the smaller diff...
    I believe this is creating a slight strain on components just enough to cause problems with pinion missalignment...only if they were as strong as nissan drivelines
    Noises come free with isuzu countys and usually means its happy

    Thumbs down

    Puma at my local wrecker looked to be in perfect nick, bar a bit of dust, but had a Stat Writeoff Sticker on the windscreen. I made the usual enquiry....somewhere up near Coen, it appears the original owner went for a little paddle, only ankle deep, but unfortunately drowned the brain. Expect premiums to rise significantly on these vehicles, if used offroad.




    ........ankle deep as in when sitting at the wheel.

    because no-on really notices a rattle in a county, its expected but when a puma does it lots of people like to pass comment like "its ok, its just trying to immitate its bigger brother"

    oil change
    drain the sump, then tip it in the fuel tank.

    i bet you cant do that in a puma, well not for long LOL

    Hahaha exactally! Which also highlights the isuzu has quite a good oil system with a filter that is huge where if you compare it to a puma one the isuzu is rediculously bigger...i often wonder if the stupid little filter on the puma is big enough puma is also more expensive to service (filter=$23-$30,oil I use is castrol fully synthetic 5w-30 but you need 2 5L bottles because it takes 7.3L and that's at around $60 a bottle) not to mention the buggerising around to change a fuel filter successfully as you would know the isuzu is basic compared...

    this is true but it also takes a good bunch off people to point out the bad parts of there own favourite brand of car! it basically comes down to "they dont make landrovers as good as they used to"

    county, named for the definition of an area of land.

    Puma, named after a company thats mainly known for track running shoes.

    surprisingly accurate for the places that the vehicles usually wind up.
