Ford Puma 1.7i 16V 3d (2001/51) Owner Review

Excellant, inspires confidence. You will rarely find the limits of this car's cornering abilities.

No rocket from a stand still, in fact, don't bother racing anything half sporty from the traffic lights, wait until you get to the corners instead!

A few little niggles, but much better than other recent Fords I have owned, and nothing that will spoil your enjoyment. They are starting to get a bit old now so there are increasing numbers of poorly treated dogs out there, be careful.

Anyone that says this is a hairdressers car has obviously never driven one. As always with sporty fords, it suffers from a lot of them being on the road, this will change though as time goes on, its sure to become a classic in the next few years

Not too bad considering its size. Don't expect it to be comfy if you do thousands of miles per year and you are over 6ft, no steering wheel adjustment and seat does not go low enough, a common Ford issue. Back seats are usable for short journeys.

Seems very good, not tested yet. Like most Fords there are quite a lot about so they dont cry 'Steel/vandalise me!'

The only real bad point. Even buying this car with hard cash from a Ford dealer was tiresome. The after sales services from a number of differant Ford franchise dealers I have been to for this and previous fords has been shockingly bad!

As long as you look after it, it is fantastic.
