Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

A simple car wellmade for one thing - corners.

To fall in love with puma all you need is a twisty road and just gas it. Handling feels confident at higher speeds, understeer isn't a thing unless in extreme cases, with 1.7 the power is there and engine sounds just great.

How reliable do you find the car?

I bought a very used one after 2 owners with little rust on it and had to change only warped brake rotors - reason why I got it for ~700£ (mk2 mondeo brakes are a must upgrade!).

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Very agile, handles great, short shifting+sporty aluminium shifter knob, light clutch, very responsive gas pedal, decent power:weight ratio, el. windows!, 2 small rear seats come handy, suprisingly spacious trunk, low fuel consumtion and cheap JDM look

for the money it is bargain
