1998 Ford Puma review from Sweden
"Fun, small, wonderful handling, cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sub-frame had to be adjusted. The front tyres were worn blank on the inside.
General comments?
Great handling! Very fun to drive in 3rd to 5th gear. The gearbox and engine begs for it! It is really fun to drive actively on smaller roads.
