1999 Ford Puma Lux review from UK and Ireland
"Great fun!!!! Average build quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Parcel shelf kept on falling out when the boot was opened. Replaced by the dealer with an improved design.
Crack in the dash panel meant the dash had to be replaced.
Radio security panel keeps switching the radio off as the contacts do not make.
Gear box sometimes makes a grinding noise at low revs.
General comments?
Interior quality not too good. Poor trim fit, scratches on trim bits and drip, runs and dirt in the paint.
Water runs in the boot still.
Seat position required by tall people means there are a number of blind spots.
Excellent fun to drive, stiff body and lively engine that always wants to keep on going.
