1999 Ford Puma review from UK and Ireland
"Good fun, a real animal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes are very poor, considering the engine size.
Very small, offers very little room for passengers.
Very back-end-happy, this may be due to the fact that the back sits higher-up.
Headlights are very poor.
Many blind spots-visibility is poor.
Leather steering wheel deteriorating.
Rust on the arches.
Interior very poor and basic.
Parcel shelf sits in the boot, as it's constantly falling of the hooks.
General comments?
This car is fast, responsive and accelerates with ease.
A lovely natural noise.
Very stylish and sophisticated looking car.
Not very child/passenger friendly.
A very smooth silent ride.
Elegant looking head lights.
Comfortable seats.
Not good handling at high speeds.
