Ford Puma Review after driving for 6 months

[@brendenc8376]

Great review. I’ve been sitting on the fence about the Puma for a while now, but a “real world” review like this has answered a lot of questions. Thanks 👍

[@FordKnowHow]

Thanks for your nice words. We are still surprised at how big fans we are of the Puma.

[@Doc444]

I ordered a new Ford Focus Titanium, March 19 at my regular Ford dealer. They found one for me at a Showroom. It was the start of the Lockdown. But the Showroom said they would keep until the Lockdown was over. So July comes and had they, no. So my garage at the end of COVID found they could only find new automatics, which I didn’t want. But the Salesman was driving a Ford Puma First edition demo. Desert Island blue, reg 1/1/19 six months old. Exactly my colour. So I did a deal. Brilliant car. Very pleased. My neighbour does the three year Ford lease. His car was due to be changed in Sept 19. Was so impressed with mine, did a Ford Puma lease.

We've always had Ford's and we've been driving our Puma for about 16 months now and it's a great car. I've driven both the ST-X 155hp first edition and my own Titanium-X 125hp first edition and i found the titanium better to drive. That's why we bought this one. Just a bit more comfortable ride then the ST and the engine just sounds and feels better while driving. The 125hp is really the sweet spot together with the 48 volt battery it's really punchy enough to get along in traffic and it still feels very nimble, direct and even sporty sometimes, specially when you put the car in sport mode . The ST has a complete digital screen while the titanium only has a smaller digital screen plus two analogue clocks. But i like it. Now i can have a analogue and a digital speedometer at the same time if i want too. Plus the titanium has easy removable seat covers which you can pop in the washing machine after your kids stained the seats, very useful. Plus the titanium version has front massage seats which works pretty decent as well, also it has front seat heating with three positions and electronic lumbar support with memory function and also a heated steering wheel. The automatic parking works pretty decent too. It has blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, etc. The Puma has place for wireless recharge of your phone in the front and two usb spots, one in the front and one under the arm rest which isn't easy to reach unfortunately but at least it works. The multimedia screen works decent, it's not the best but not the worst either, just works fine. And the sound system works great as well thx to the B&O speakers and woofer. The luggage space is good thx to that mega box, gives you almost 460 liters of space. Really useful for taking tall things along. Wel everything together i think it's a very nice and economical car for a smal family that doesn't want a car that's to big but spacious enough. I hope this gives people enough information about this car 🙂

Thanks for the information, I’m saving to buy either the ford puma or Peugeot 2008. I Have a question, what is the fuel economy like?

I bought one of these about 2 months ago, I enjoy it. I had a Lexus rx350 Pre this vehicle and it’s definitely not as lux as that but for a small Ford SUV it hits the spot and really great for the price

[@drazenmiskovic4952]

I have mine for a month now and it's really great, i easily make around 650km driving on 40-42 litres with E10 petrol. I agree 110% with the reviewer, it's such an enjoyment to drive it, it's effortless. He's one is even better model then mine, has seat heating and massagers which is very helpful if you feel fatigued while driving.

[@FordKnowHow]

Thanks Drazen. I'm glad you are loving it.

[@TheSimplygoodmusic]

I have a Puma ST Line X First Edition 155 BHP best car ive ever had goes like a rocket in Sports Mode had it 15 months now and it is worth the same as when i bought it in the UK due to the current car market delay in getting new models so happy days still want a Mean Green though at some point - fab review

[@gwynethowen1511]

I have owned my Puma for three months now and love it to bits. I really enjoy watching videos like yours because it reaffirms that I made the right choice. It also shows me things that I did not know about the car. It is so comfortable to drive and I feel safe in it. I highly recommend it.

[@mad7206]

A few months ago I had my heart set on an mx-5 and now I'm split 60/40 in favour of a puma

[@ludwigvonn9889]

This is what i call a review. A passionate owner driving the car for a few months and then the review. I wish all cars would be reviewed like this. Im kinda between the Opel Mokka, the VW T-Roc and this Puma. Which ever i choose, ill love it just like this man :) Thanks guys.

[@RighteousBrother]

Agreed. I couldn't give a flying fuck about slipped rear differentials or whatever I dont even know what it means. I just want to know what it's like to own and drive.

[@Muffeen]

Hey, which one have you chosen? Why and how is it now? Thanks

[@bigal5791]

Wife has had one for nearly 4 yrs from new . Only problem was a small oil leak dripping onto a sensor . All sorted under warranty. A great wee car . Picking up a new one on Friday in grey matter with auto box 😊

[@RoshenCosta]

we bought this today and still watching videos thank you for an honest feedback and it gave me so much guts that I made a good chooicel

[@Captain-Chats]

Currently have a 23 player 208, my misses has just picked up an eco sport and I feel some aspects are of better quality than my car. I would jump across next time to a fiesta but they’ve stopped making those and I believe it’s the puma that’s taken its spot. I’m open to the puma

[@ineslourenco2837]

just bought this model today ! so excited for it to arrive!!! 🤩🤩

[@FordKnowHow]

Good choice! It's a wonderful car to drive.

Great review from a normal guy who actually uses the car. Not some salesman trying to sell it to you. Beautiful looking car obviously not as beautiful as a mega expensive sports car but who can afford those. I believed him when talking about the cars performance. Good review.

[@FordKnowHow]

Cheers Robert. The Puma is certainly innovative. It's great to get a genuine, nice comment. 👍

[@johnp6987]

I drive a old 2lt fiesta st150, and they pull on the Puma for half the engine is fantastic. Very comfy too

[@maximc7089]

There is a guy called Rory Reid who reviews for Auto Trader, I watched his review of this car and his is crap, compared to yours. Although this is a short review, the photography is first class because we can see inside the car and the boot, which, in his case, he doesn't even know that we want to see inside the car. Well done mate!

Not having a spare wheel is NOT a great feature no matter how the marketing dress it up. But by god do I love my Puma!

[@ripmax333]

this is the 3rd review I see on this Puma and all 3 reviews vouch for that small 3cyl Engine, saying that it's surprisingly fun for such a small engine and chassis. my biggest fear would be reliability. But it's to see that at least some manufacturers are trying to make some fun small cars which can surprise you during the ride.

[@brobiv2452]

My ford puma engine broke last week

Did you know that there is a tub with drain under your spare wheel. European Pumas don't have a spare wheel under the cover in the trunk. You can put water in it or wash your dirty hiking shoes for example and let the water drain off.

[@rossdev]

The spare wheel is on the options list (I’m in EU)...my Puma was already built when I ordered it and it came with this option. Cost was €100 extra, so fairly reasonable!

Great review, thanks. Quite a relief too, because I’ve just bought one - could be over 3 months until I get it though due to global ‘supply chain issues’. However, I am on a personal mission to try and get KZbinrs to stop using music while they are talking! Either chat or music - to have both at the same time is irritating and distracting. 😉

Is this with the optional spare tire? That's why the boot is smaller?

[@potaka79]

Does that really small motor have enough get up if you decide to pull out in traffic...Most ppl don't know to hit sports mod to pull out, especially in quick thinking situation. No electric drivers seats.. $1500 Park pack to get all drivers aids when they are standard on ALL other cars..
