I am fairly new to buggies, started about 6 or 7 months back
I fell in love with the PR as its great spec out the box, things like carbon parts, ally rear hubs etc
at the time I didnt know anyone with one as I became a sheep and got a used B6
month or so ago I decided I simply must have the PR FM V3, its awesome, I really love it
ive had a couple of proper "whhhoooooops" moments, you know the sort, the ones where the accident takes so long to happen that you have time to clench buttocks and mumble lots of expletives... LOL
nothing broken,
spares are cheap if you did need them, I only bought set of wishbones as I wanted gullarms for rear £7.99 for 4 wishbones, they look near indestructible
in fact I loved it so much I bought the 4wd a week later, had never even driven a 4wd but figured it looked great so must be great

I wasnt wrong
I would try to get the latest version as possible, mainly becuase it will stay"current" for longer and have better resale value if you decide to move it on
