Ford Puma in general Reviews

Ford Puma 1.4i I've owned my Puma for 6 months now. This is an opinion of my ownership of the car. You can get technical details and specifications from the ford site. this is my experience of owning the car. I cant tell you about fuel consumption and insurance costs because my licence is shot, and I drive at 100Mph everywhere (do you ...

Firstly, just to set the scene a little: I am 18, and this will be my second car; both of which I shared ownership and costs with my mum (more ownership, less cost!). Without going into a review of my first car (the Micra), it was a reliable car, very easy to drive, fun to drive at low speeds due to its low weight, boring at everything else... ...

The Puma is Ford's version of a sports coupe- sleek, sexy, fast but yet affordable. Though production stopped in late 2001 (it is built on an old Fiesta platform, and the demise of that car meant the demise of the Puma) as of late October 2002 it is still (just about) possible to get your hands on a new one- the list price (with no extras ...

Anyone reading this will have an interest in the Puma. And for good reason. I wonder how many other cars have been independently assessed as 100% satisfied. It's a car that combines the best of all worlds. It's elegant yet practical (not everyone wants 4+ seats and it's got the biggest boot space with the back seats ...

When my husband bought this car I was rather irate. £13,000 spent on a small tin box with four wheels seemed like a waste of money. However, on the quiet I really do quite enjoy driving it! THE CAR The car is small but sleek and sporty looking with only three doors. The boot, however, is miniscule and inadequate for even a ...

I bought my Puma in September 2001. It was 11 months old then and I paid 10995. I was fed up with my silver/grey Cavalier with its blue door, and at the last service the cav was starting to need some mechanical replacements ? see my op on it for more details ;) The time was right for me to buy a new car. I'd looked at the Ford Ka and ...

Ever heard the story of the Emperor's New Clothes? Well, when I purchased my 2001 Puma 1.7 I started to wonder if there wasn't an element of that old fable to be found in the hyperbole and all-round praise lavished on Ford's baby coupe. To be short, it's a very good car, but that final step towards being a truly great car isn't ...

Get out of your kitchen and rattle those pots and pans! Sort out your best heavy metal C.D.s, and prepare to kick some serious butt, as the ride of your life, (outside the bedroom) is about to start. “Silver dream machine” That is a title of a song by David Essex, wrote about 25 years ago, long before this car was ...

The Puma 1.4 holds her own against similarly sized cars. The engine is quiet - very quiet. The 16v Zetec had me stalling a few times on the run home from the garage, but given half a chance, the Puma started to live up to it’s expectations. Absolutely stunning looks, a very smooth ride and stylish interior complete with climate control and ...

I have owned a Ford Puma for just over a year. It was my first brand new car purchase, why? Because it seamed so right. It has the looks the performance and the equipment and yet it is still reasonably affordable. The image with the TV advertisement really helped, but it was justified the finish of the car was very good the only points that are ...

Ford decided to make the Racing Puma a limited run, specialist car for a few people who put driver enjoyment and involvement at the top of their list. Many people may not understand why, but I can assure you, I put this factor above just about everything else. Of course, to achieve such a goal, IMHO the car must have ...

Got my puma back in January 1999, couldnt wait to get it, and as soon as i got behind the wheel I was smitten. I was particularly impressed with the level of equipment forethe price, air conditioning, power adjustment on the drivers seat, heated front windscreen, power mirrors, traction control, abs, great looks and nice inside trim multi ...

The Puma is an excellent blend of performance, looks and easy affordability. It looks sexy and sporty, and handles like a dream, with a lovely throaty engine roar, it sounds superb. It is cheap to run, being based on the Fiesta, and all the early build problems appear to have been sorted out on the newer models. I had an original Puma ...

My first new car ever purchased, heavily influenced by the ad on TV and its styling. It really put a BIG smile on my face when I drove it out of the showroom. As standard it can be driven with enthusiasm whilst still being safe, and often surprises many people with supposedly "performance cars". After 2 years of happy ...

When ford first announced that a limited number (1500) Puma's would be made, I had to have one. Ford were failing to deliver for August 1st 97 as promised, but after collecting mine a week later it was worth the wait. There was only one model available, the 1.7i VCT. No sunroof but a reduced cost for air con was worth it. Electrics all round, ...

I owned a Puma for 2 and a half years and never had a dull moment driving it. Every mile was a pleasure and many journeys were made just for the hell of it. The handling was superb! I have ridden motorcycles for years and the Puma was the next best thing. Looks were fantastic and it stood out in any traffic or car park as something different. ...
