Ford Puma ST review 2021 - an SUV for HOOLIGAN parents

[@DontPanicDear]

‘Dead Pigeon, let’s GO’ 😂😂😂 Seems like a proper little practical little thing. Well done Belgium 🇧🇪

[@michaeleaton5053]

I love the way this car looks, especially in this colour. I hope Ford is successful with it. As always, your review made me chuckle - your channel deserves more views (but swearing isn't good for those algorithms!). In other news, my GR Yaris has arrived and I can now confirm that your reviews are factually accurate, its fantastic!

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Woohoo - glad you've got it! What colour did you go for?

[@michaeleaton5053]

@@TimRodieDrivesStuff I got a circuit pack in pure white, because rally cars should be white, shouldn’t they?! It’s not all good though, because I bought a GR04 personalised registration; I hate myself. 🤪 I now need additional consumer advice, my 981 Cayman is dead to me, I’d like to replace it with a comfortable convertible. Any ideas?

[@X1GGE]

Do enjoy your reviews Tim, very entertaining 👍When's the next drivetribe podcast?

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

I keep trying to record one this week, but everyone's super busy. Will try again on Friday! Had a month off podcasting for baby reasons…

[@andrewmaple9863]

Great video just watched it again buy a puma st now to replace my fiesta st as I have a small family now

[@greavste71]

I’ve just ordered an ST in white,love the Puma I have a 125 st line x as much as I love it I just needed a bit more grunt,hopefully the ST will deliver,I already know this as I have test driven one today.......I my god I bloody loved it👍

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Yesss! Nice one! Enjoy it when it comes… give the handbrake a test

[@greavste71]

@@TimRodieDrivesStuff wouldn’t know where to start with the handbrake thing.....😂😂😂😂😂

[@chirpywiggins5796]

You will love the performance and handling if it’s anything like my Mk 8 ST !

[@Vengent1]

Got the 2023 st line coming by boat as we speak should be arriving in 2 months can't wait, it's such a good car

[@johnwhite2143]

Great review with added humour loved it cheers 👍👌 beautiful looking car ,I've just ordered a puma st in mean green with the machine finished alloys, delivery due September October time can't wait, great review and great car thanks so much, greetings from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍😁

It may be the camera angle, but that’s quite some panel gap at the bonnet at 9:26.

[@andrewmaple9863]

I've driven the puma st I found the steering a lot lighter than my mk8 st

[@jordanboyle1996]

Really entertaining, I’ve traded in my fiesta for the puma wanted something different and hopefully gives me a bigger deposit for a focus st 🔥 love the top as well! You see that they are going to be back in august

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

I did see that! One of TGA watches my video nonsense (he's a big Ford fan) and we chat occasionally! Saw Brian Fallon last week in London - he's so good. Enjoy the Puma!

[@Coldstrawberry]

I really like this review. You talked about things that I haven’t seen other people talk about when reviewing cars. And you are relatable. I want this car but in black! Thanks

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Thanks Katey, appreciate the kind words! I sort of want one too…

[@St3y_focused_250hp]

I'm belgian and had the opportunitie to ride on the test circuit in Lommel, great and Massive place 💪🏁

I’m always here for the waffle Timothy. Don’t worry, it won’t be your mad driving skill that gets ya arrested. It’ll be your mad waffle. 👍

[@busby905]

Im mid 40s is suspension stiff as hell for our UK pitted roads?

[@ianguest7341]

I don’t think so…. If going into a Tesco car park with humps go over slowly… It’s a beauty but drive accordingly to settings and conditions

[@kavan30]

Cheers Tim, quite like the look of this car. Tempted but not sure its much of an upgrade from my Polo GTI other than more bootspace. May go for mark 8Golf GTI instead.

[@mlok4216]

Pretty decent noise for a 3-cylinder tho...

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Yeah, I was surprised… lots of it is faked, but it's nice!

[@danielleroux6490]

@@TimRodieDrivesStuff It's not faked, it's 'enhanced' noise that's pumped into the cabin.

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

@@danielleroux6490 Enhanced is just a euphemism for fake, isn't it? That's what my plastic surgeon tells me anyway

(Insert comment about it not being a real puma).

This or a kona ?

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

I think the Kona N would get the nod… I like autos these days!

[@adrianmaycroft8406]

Thirsty ?

[@denniss2474]

Awesome car! 👍

[@johngill2390]

Unfortunately this is a average car and inside the car is a massive let down for a ST. It’s a Fiesta with a different top on it. Ford will not make a big impact on the SUV market with this PUMA or aka Fiesta

[@peterjordansonthe2nd731]

The 'Fiester' ST

[@fatihkir9655]

Selled my fiesta st mk8 buyed puma st

[@poormanstrackframe]

Hello, do you still have the Puma st? Are you still happy with it? I'm in the eve of buying one but still confused about if I'm doing right or wrong about jt 😄 I also fear to encounter a faulty manufactered one from factory, lots of complains about Fords all over Internet. These are mainly about production quality of paint and interior trim sometimes dents or changes from factory

[@fatihkir9655]

@@poormanstrackframe yess i still have it i drived 5k km from belgium to turkey and around still love my car. Nothing to worry about very strong car still love my car!

[@poormanstrackframe]

@@fatihkir9655 glad you still have it. I finally received mine few days ago. Everything seems ok. The thing bothering me is now getting used to clutch point. Because I was an automatic car user long time. 🙈 I first passed the driving test with manual but then didn't have to chance to use any manual, it was 20 years ago. The car feels really stiff and little stressed me out by its power when trying to roll off in red light traffic after few stalls I had. Sometimes couldn't start and roll easily after stall because of the traffic in my back. Yesterday I worked for this in an empty hilly area, I was alright with there but sometimes car behaves different when coming out from auto start stop and I have to restart the engine by button in traffic, the only stalls I had was because of this red light rolls off. Sometimes works sometimes not, maybe I am newbie about manual but is there anything that should I pay attention about clutch? I was learning just by myself by the way. Beside that I really liked the car as I said it made little nervous after few stalls

No 4wd no thanks...looks nice but come on ford awd make it a real suv.

[@ullala880]

Always this comparing with the fiesta😡

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Because it's based on a Fiesta, with a Fiesta engine, a Fiesta interior, a Fiesta chassis and you could imagine someone walking into a Ford showroom to look at a Fiesta and then seeing this and thinking 'ooo that's roomier, but not much bigger'. Do you see why I compared it to the Fiesta?

[@stevendufour]

@@TimRodieDrivesStuff exactly why I bought a Puma ST instead of a Fiesta ST. 👌🏻

"Fiestar ST" "Fiestar ST" "Fiestar ST" where is he, and most other UK journos, getting the R from. The word is Fiesta, not FiestaR 🙄

[@mad4tar77]

@@DontPanicDear 🤡 "fiester is how it's pronounced here". That might be true for chav types. The word is Fiesta. There is no R. Learn how to speak English.

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

You're a bit angry aren't you

[@mad4tar77]

Predictable response. No, thankfully something like this doesn't make me angry, just find it bizarre how people add in letters to words and come up with pronunciations that don't match the word that they are attempting to pronounce, e.g adding and R to Fieata, interesting

[@mad4tar77]

The link you've added provides an audio pronucation of Fiesta. And guess what, no R, they pronounced Fiesta, not Fiestar 🙄. When the spelling of the word gets changed, come back to me, until such time, stop digging.

[@mad4tar77]

It doesn't pronounce an R, because there isn't one in the word. Not very bright are you. Learn how to speak English.
