    For most drivers, the 2.2 Puma has enough power for relaxed highway cruising, especially once up to speed. It is not fast, but torque delivery is steady and confident for overtaking and long trips. Many owners of the land rover defender 110 engine appreciate its balance of reliability, refinement and fuel economy, though heavy towing or steep inclines can expose its modest output.
