My dad used the boot as an ice cooler to take some drinks to the park, when he was done he emptied the water out of the compartment. Later on he got critical electric problems with the car. His steering locked up and the car went into limp home mode. The compartment is a gimmick and ford were being cheeky when he tried to return the car. They were refusing him a new car out right and only when he kept on at them did they offer to pay for repairs.

I've owned a Puma for one month and just came back from a road trip of nearly 1000km through Swiss Alps. Although the engine might suffer a little bit when it has to climb a mountain road, it is indeed a fun and versatile little car. The "all-terrains" driving mode works well and the boot is very practical (I definitely prefer the Megabox rather than a spare wheel that most of owners will never ever use). You can also effectively get a low fuel consumption if you drive responsibly. Go try the car if you're interested !

The handling is engaging yet assured. The interior is nothing to shout about but it’s got everything you need ( I went for the Titanium First Edition) and more.
