Ford Puma 1.4i 3dr

I bought my 2000 W reg Puma in April 2008. After a 10 minute test drive I was hooked on the superb gearbox and handling like a go kart. Unfortunately as with most cars that are edging towards 10 years old it is not without it's problems.

The interior is spacious ...  Read the complete review
