Hi Sam, I really like your enthusiasm and the energy that you put into your reviews. I took delivery of a new facelift Puma ST back in July this year. Unfortunately there was no handling pack option available at the time I placed my order, so I just specked it with the panoramic roof. I prefer the look of the grey wheels on mine to those on the hp. I would really like to try the hp option equipped ST to see how much of a difference there is between the two. Perhaps you could do a comparison.

I want one

Be good to see how this is against the new Puma GEN E 2/12/24😊

This is the death of the Puma ST. I will stick with my mean green, with black roof and performance pack, 1.5 manual st thanks. Mountune springs, stiffen and lower it by 25mm.

Had one of these at my work and it didn’t have coil overs, just lowering springs

Could remap and all that

Great to hear your thoughts as not a great deal,on here about the facelift Pity the 1.5 dragon manual is gone

Pack st performance ?

St with 1L engine 🤦no thanks it's not really a fast ford with 170 bhp

Hi Sam, Any chance you could look at the ST without the handling pack?😉

It’s surprising to me that Ford is selling the ST - since they downgraded the engine I call it the ST-Line XX (extra expensive ). When you look at previous generation 155hp ST-Line you realize that this has what they removed from current 155hp car : round steering wheel, fog lights, visible exhaust and shift paddles. So honestly this looks like the previous generation 155hp with some steroids rather than a true ST. But anyway I have a 155hp new generation Puma and I like it very much despite having some problems with the hybrid system

Nice!..how come no pan roof?

What a car...!! However; I'd love to see you review a more "standard" car, like the Puma Titanium & give your opinion on the car overall, as opposed to the sporty version & how sporty it feels & handles. Just my opinion... I have to say though, that I love your enthusiasm when driving & reviewing cars! 👍🙂

I got my puma st facelift a few days ago and i absolutely love it! I also got it in white as i love the black and white combination

50k for a Golf GTI....nope thanks You can put more blue neons if you want to sell it 😂

This will be a very rare car!! They don’t do a handling pack on a white Puma ST anymore, you can’t even get a black roof on a white Puma ST now! Strange choice from Ford.

If you google for something like "ford puma st tech specs" you'll find a Ford released pdf with more info on the suspension of the handling pack. Just like you said, it comes with KW shock absorbers instead of the ones made by Hitachi. Spring stiffness is increased by 20% and height decreased by 10 mm.

Nah....sorry Sam, really not sold at all on the face lifts. Funnily enough my partner just got rid of her Puma Vignale for a brand new 120 M Sport, and she said she actually loves driving again. That to me speaks volumes lol. Actually don't miss my Puma ST.

I would prefer they kept the ST badge on the steering wheel, in addition to the new ST badge on the passenger side. Also, I prefer maintaining the right sided lever for windscreen wipers.

I love these 400 PS rocket ships….

I want one but don’t have the money

Not really a fan of red cars…but this looks pretty good

Taking delivery of my STHP tomorrow! - very excited to try it out and your video couldn’t be better timed haha

I've bought the 8.5 black edition diesel automatic! So diesel is available now

Hello, i've just ordered a new Focus ST MK4.5 and it will arrive in march. I've test drived a Focus ST Edition and i've ordered a normal one. Are you sure that the track pack / st edition gives you a "short-shifter"? Thanks!

Omfg gimme the Lott numbers! Everything possible in a future Car 650 power no no sounds F1 . Impressive car my colour preference BLACK OR NARDO GREY IF POSSIBLE 👏

cool vid brah

Yeah very cool car indeed, but cant say the same thing about you. Wtf is up with that sweater? You are such a nerd

Shit map. Error codes, erratic idle, throttle either on or off. Not happy at all

Thanks for the review. Just ordered a R-Style 150hp TSI, manual. I hope the Black Package will go nicely with Moonstone Gray :) Went for IQ Lights and Harman- Kardon 8+1audio. Greetings from Ireland!

This is clearly the only EV I would consider buying as like you I'm a petrol head & this really flots my boat in every way shape of form incredible car every single review of this amazing car is positive apart from the price!!!!😱 Seriously us normal working people can't afford cars like this!!🥺 But it's absolutely awesome & a great looking car just please bring down the price of these EV'S Car Manufacturers!!🙄 Great review Sam!!👌🏻👍🏻

Just ordered mine a couple of weeks back… Delivery estimate is mid-April. Is a 5 to 6 month wait time the norm?

Mis bendiciones

We need a GTD by far best Golf shame it has to have woke add blue. Amazing mpg even driving fast on German autobhans at over 115 mph where leagal.

Thanks for your video! It's now my daily. And I love being able to switch from Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde at any time. But most of the time I enjoy the peace and quiet in this car.

i would love to own a mk8 or 8.5 golf r but 50k is a lot of money i think im going to buy a used mk7.5 golf r with under 50k miles for around 25k usd or i could get used mk8 gti for similar price but that all wheel drive and golf r stage 1 is probably much nicer car to have and i have to have leather seats no fabric seats. and i want the 7 speed dsg not 6 speed from the earlier version. not sure what im going to do i would like the mk3 audi tts as well but im leaning towards the golf as i owned one in the past and i already own a mk1 tt and. for daily life the golf r will be just as nice as the tts and similar power and performance.

Got my Ioniq 6 a few months prior to the 5N release. I love the 5N colors, power, & sounds. Great EVs. I still love my HI6. I added gold trimming to the all black exterior. Turned my EV sounds off 😅

Did you say when the front badge isn't illuminated it's blacked out? Couldn't quite catch what you said.

Had mine for nearly 4 weeks now, same spec as yours, just done over 600 miles @ a cost of £220 in charging at public chargers, that is with a discount from a Shell recharge subscription with a discount of 26p per KW, the car was also delivered with 80% battery, I need a home wallbox charger 😂 😂

Had mine for a few months now coming from a G80 M3 and various other M3s before then. Great car apart from fact I'm on my second traction battery already as first one failed within 2 months of ownership. But to be fair, Hyundai replaced under warranty with no issue and no delay. Hopefully it won't happen again. It's not dampened the enjoyment.

Hi. Does the transmission simulator changes the gears automatically or only when pressing the paddles?

I ENVY YOU SO MUCH!!!

I was pretty blown away by it too when I tried it out and the amount of engineering that's gone into changing the base Ioniq 5 into this, is really in depth; it's not just a power boost like a lot of other performance variant EV's seem to have. I'm hoping to have mine before Christmas in the same spec, but in gloss white (I think the one you had is the matte version). I test drove it back in the spring and have been pining for it since; it's just a nice and easy thing to drive. I wasn't sure about the gears & sounds, but they blend into the driving really well and it definitely sounds better when you're focusing on driving and not just revving it in a car park. The Jekyll and Hyde characteristics are also great, as it makes a brilliant commuter/tourer in the basic modes and then it can really come alive in Sport or N modes. Can't wait!

The thing is, they did ‘have to’ go to the effort of making all the sport modes because they wouldn’t have been able to sell the car otherwise. The reason this car is so highly regarded is because of the simulated gears and noise, without it it’s just yet another boring performance EV that struggles to sell

I think the color is Atlas white matte (not glossy)

Hey Sam, you're a very authentic guy. Your joy has come across very well. Who would have thought that Hyundai would ever take on BMW M or AMG? I really love the 5N every day, an incredibly good car for the price.

Suprised you can’t add the aprovic exhaust like you can for the hatch

That steering wheel with all those buttons looks too cluttered.

Looks great fun..... and the Ioniq 6N saloon is arriving shortly! 👍
