Ford Puma 1.7i 16V 3d (2001/Y) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I got mine imported from Germany 4.5 years ago and similar aged examples are still selling for more than 50% what I paid for it. That's great depreciation. Parts and servicing are relatively cheap.
Costs
Servicing is slightly higher than I'd expect but parts are cheap (although £50 for a steal spare wheel seems a little steep).

On the road
Driving
Seating position is a bit high, but its great fun to drive. Great for slinging round corners (usual front wheel drive problems aside).
Performance
For the money, if you remember to rev it hard it goes pretty well.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Nothing has gone wrong with it at all
Image
My mates say it is a hairdressers car, they have a point.
Comfort
Pretty comfortable given it is a ""sporty"" car. Needs all the extras though (air con, CD player) to make it fully useful.

Security and Service
Security
Spare wheel slung underneath is silly, mine got stolen. Assume it has an alarm and immobiliser, never had the alarm go off.
Service
Always helpful and friendly
