1998 Ford Puma Lux review from UK and Ireland
"Compact and bijou, marred by faults"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear brake piston failed resulting in total brake failure.
Heater/A/C control failed.
Seat lift mechanism failed.
Indicator flasher failed - replaced and still faulty.
Rear wiper failed.
HEGO sensor failed.
Rain water pours into the boot.
Back shelf falls into the boot.
General comments?
Sexy and fast car for the money, let down by niggly faults and crap dealer service - Buy one on import and you get an extra 3K left over to compensate for the time it will be off the road!
