When this car was bought from new, the 5 months waiting list had me very eager to get behind the wheel to see what she could do. And although not the quickest in the Puma range, the 1.4 still holds her own against similarly sized cars. The engine is quiet - very quiet. The 16v Zetec had me stalling a few times on the run home from the garage, but given half a chance, the Puma started to live up to it’s expectations. Absolutely stunning looks, a very smooth ride and stylish interior complete with climate control and CD player. The handling is superb, acceleration not bad, and the sports shift gear box gives the overall feel that you’re driving a very well built car. The only aspects of the Puma that let the side down are the rear passengers area and visibility. Unless you don’t mind sitting with your head angled at 45 degrees, the back passenger seats are terrible both for headroom and legroom. And the visibility - shocking. I wouldn’t even contemplate attempting a reverse park in this baby, there’s practically zero visibility when reversing. But those two defects aside, the Puma is a top notchautomobile. And let’s face it, I can live with driving straight into a parking bay, and the rear passenger area - well I’m driving it so who cares?
