2001 Ford Puma 1.7VCT 1.7

Summary:

Great drive, shame about the build quality

Faults:

Rear screen heater switch failed

Electric windows failed (several times)

Poor radio reception

High level brake light fell off.

General Comments:

The Puma is one of those cars that always makes you smile when you drive it. It's neither the quickest nor best handling car around, but remains great fun to drive particularly along twisty roads.

It is also noisy (many rattles and creaks) uncomfortable and poorly built with indifferent paintwork - but you can forget about all of this when you are behind the wheel.

Would I buy another one? - of course, if only they still made them.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I get better radio reception than I did with my Renault clio. Plus the speakers are way better. I've got the CD unit and it's a joy for easy music.

Not so great for deep bass stuff, but then who gives a monkeys when the drive is so great!

2001 Ford Puma Zetec 1.7i 16v VCT

Summary:

A great performing coupe at an affordable price

Faults:

The middle console rattles a bit.

General Comments:

This is an excellent car. Even though there are quite a few on the street, it still turns heads.

The car is seriously quick, and the handling is brilliant.

Good room at the front, but the back is a bit cramped. But supposedly that's what you get with a coupe.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

2001 Ford Puma 1.7i

Summary:

Stunned for words... It's really that good!

Faults:

Never EVER EVER had a problem with my Puma!

General Comments:

This car is seriously good fun. Take it down the back roads and find out just how well it goes.

Handles like a dream and half the time, you feel like you're in one as everything is so comfy.

The steering is positive and gives a lot of feedback which makes you smile, every other corner.

Joy to drive and I want to keep my Puma forever!! (I might upgrade to the Wolf though).

Best coupe Ford has ever made and the best the world has EVER seen!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
