1999 Ford Puma review from UK and Ireland
"Stylish and fun car with serious cross country ability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear lights steamed up.
Gearbox mounting loose on delivery.
Squeak from the back of the car which the dealer could not fix.
General comments?
This car is simply awesome on the right road. Fast, fun and safe, it will bring a smile to your face every time you drive it.
Engine begs to be reved although the car is not particularly powerful. The chassis is so good it needs more power.
The car is reliable and surprisingly good over long distance. VCT means fuel economy is excellent if you are gentle (however I challenge anybody to be gentle for too long).
