1998 Ford Puma VCT review from UK and Ireland
"Superb"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car suffered three expensive oil leaks simultaneously at 22,000 miles. In the process of fixing this problem, the Ford dealership bent a valve and had to change the cam belt; this took five weeks.
The petrol tank is far too small.
The parcel shelf falls into the boot space.
Headlights are not very powerful.
General comments?
This is a very quick, safe, spacious and impressive little car which handles itself beautifully; you must try it.
I can live with the problems.
