General comments?
Despite have several minor maintenance problems this car is seriously fun to drive. The acceleration is lively through all the gears. The handling and road holding are nothing short of superb making this car fantastic fun to drive. The CD sound system is excellent. There is very limited leg and head room in the rear of the puma however front seat accommodation is good. Boot space is reasonable given this is a sports coupe. The ali gear knob and brush ali dashboard add to the sporty feel of the car.
