Puma ST vs Fiesta ST Drag Race

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

What do you prefer - Fiesta ST or the Puma ST?

[@thomasmason2433]

Fiesta

[@andrewmaple9863]

I've had a fiesta st mk8 and now I've got the puma st the fiesta is still the king but the puma is amazing because its not far of the feel of the fiesta with more room

Puma I m actually wanting one as my first car

[@iangillett2488]

I'm loving my Fiesta ST3, and looking forward to the latest Focus ST in Fantastic Red, which I ordered in January. Hopefully get it in September 😉

It's arrived ☺️

[@andrewdent696]

I have a Puma ST and love it...made the right choice.

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Hey Andrew, great choice - such a good wee car with the extra space and performance!

[@GRIEFNATIONUKKI9DS]

How’s it been over the year I’m looking for one

[@andrewdent696]

@GRIEFNATIONUKKI9DS I've had the car for just over 2 years and covered 11.600 miles without any faults. I would have ordered a new one, but they have dropped the 15lt engine.

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

No you didn't lol. The Puma is a Fiesta (same platform), but made worse in every way possible.

[@bountyhunter5541]

​@@BlatentlyFakeNameDef. not....got both and the Puma is the better car, Fiesta ist a little quicker but in every other Point the Puma is better....but it's more expensive.

[@damianmullen5370]

Did you not hit limiter in the Puma and that's when the fiesta pulled away?

[@MOJump23]

Are you trying to argue the puma is not slower? lol It is either way.

[@neilj6322]

Would be interesting to know what settings you had them on...normal, sport or race and if launch control was activated

[@richardburnssmith1884]

Definitely fiesta st all day its a true hot 🔥 hatch

[@mick8473]

those days have gone

[@johayward7507]

Hot hatch fiesta st3 any day everyone has an suv like sheep

[@tinyplanet_360]

Traded my Fiesta ST performance edition for the puma ST in green. I needed more space for camera equipment. I honestly don’t feel like I’m missing anything. Possibly just miss the go kart type feel you get with the fiesta but the puma is a fabulous car.

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Hey, both fantastic cars - Puma will be spot on for camera equipment!

[@pascalovide]

What's your opinion about suspensions comfort between thé 2 véhicules ? Il looks like Puma is much garder that the fiesta, to ensure a good handling ?

[@balintk.9373]

This is the perfect demonstration why SUVs suck. The Fiesta has better drag, aerodynamics, lower center of gravity and less weight. No surprise it won.

[@kekdk5129]

I would prefer the Fiesta ST, but the mk8.5 facelift with 320 Nm of torque 😉

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Hey Ken, we are looking forward to getting the Mk8.5 out and put it through it paces - that additional torque is going to be fun!

[@Termz1988]

I like them both and prob would take the puma. But is it only me who noticed the guy in the puma hit the rev limiter in 2nd gear thats how the fez jumped the car length! It would have been neck an neck if he didn't

[@djnormsk114]

yes, you are right. also possible miss shift

[@TheSimplygoodmusic]

Puma ST is best for me the extra boot space and the look of the car are a win and it is sporty to drive - grips like glue on bends - Mean Green looks fab - just waiting for the ST Hybrid to be made will be getting one of those if I can, it might go even faster!! :>)

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Hey, the extra space, looks and sporty drive are for sure a huge draw for the Puma ST! Mean Green is one of our favourites!

[@jamesbrowne7601]

The Puma ST is available to order & has the B&O & folding electric heated mirrors performance pack is extra but standard on fiesta now Plus there’s a Gold edition Puma ST. Ford have stopped taking orders for all Fiestas now plus outstanding 3 door orders changed to 5 door. I’d say Puma for specs & availability

[@S-AI6]

Gold edition is a good looking car 👍🏿

[@TheSmiths65]

I’ve just swapped my mk8 st For the mk8.5 fiesta st in mean green I’ve definitely made the right choice absolutely love it so it’s the fez for me 👍

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Hey, Good choice - especially in Mean Green!

[@jdnzy4166]

But why waste thousands for the same car with a different front bumper

[@jamesfox7721]

For me it's got to be the new mk8.5 fiesta st in mean green.will whip the puma with the extra torque. 👌

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Good choice! We cant wait to try out the Mk8.5 ST.

[@howardtom830]

I’ve got a Puma ST in mean green on order, due in March…… CANT WAIT!!!!

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Hey Tom - great choice!

[@dcm2926]

I would like to have see Ian Callum's face when they rolled that porky puma out for the first time 😂

[@mark-1rc502]

Extra room ? I sat in them both at Ford show room while picking up my Focus ST, They seemed to have the same of knee room in the back

[@gazzwad]

there is more room inside the puma, its bigger overall inside then also the boot.

[@mark-1rc502]

@@gazzwad If we’re going to Talk about Volume, Yes perhaps with with Increased head room. I set the Steering wheel and seat into roughly the Same position in each at The Showroom I had No chance of sitting behind my self in the 5dr fiesta ST , and it was pretty much the same amount of leg room in the back of the Puma . However I did like the higher up feel of the puma , and the fiesta feel better than the focus for driving position I think I’d drive the wheels of the fezza I like it them both . Just need a bit more room in the Back seat

[@dom3827]

@@gazzwad not really. Its a fiesta after all.

[@gazzwad]

@@dom3827 look into it. Bigger in every way.. its clearly not the same size as a fiesta. An octavia is based on a golf but its bigger.

[@dom3827]

@@gazzwad i sat in one already. Dashboard is 100% the same as fiesta. Font seats dont have more space, leg room in the back is exactly the same. Only difference is the height.

[@jimgriffiths9194]

I would have the fiesta , ive had a mk7 st but the mrs wants a funky crossover so the puma is kinda win win with me, picking mine up tomorrow

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Hey Jim, great choice - its definitely a win win!

[@Steve-Mcgarrett]

This video just gave me a good idea! Put the Puma rear brakes on the fiesta! Coz only front BBKs are available. now to check if they are different

[@tartanwallpaper]

Fiesta ST has the better driver I think. 😁

[@Camarao_Pistola]

Fiesta All the way 😎

[@daze1945]

I love Fiesta ST's and have constantly owned one going back to the MK6 2Litre, 3 of them last one was the 500. 3 x MK7 last one being the 200 and lastly the MK8 which I am about to replace with the Puma ST. I'm not particularly interested in the out and out performance, if I was I would be buying a very different car, but the Fiesta ST is ideal for me and my needs and has just about the right performance for British roads. However as I now have slight difficulty getting out of the car I like the albeit slight extra height of the Puma and being 5 door having smaller front doors which can be useful in car parks. The 3 door Fiesta ones are huge! I do love the ST seats which are perfect for me. By coincidence all bought from new from Peoples Ford.

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Hey, thats a great collection you've had! ST Fiesta sure is great for UK roads. The Puma certainly does just give you that little bit extra room.

[@MOJump23]

[@jameshedges3857]

Who wants a hot crossover which is in reality, no bigger than a hatchback, but heavier and dynamically, challenged over a hot hatch? 😂

[@omaralgharib6521]

People who have to commute through sh!t roads.

[@gazzwad]

actually its enough for me that a fiesta was too small and the puma was just enough, so was either a puma or not a fiesta? its bigger inside, not a lot but enough to make a difference and then theres the boot too.

[@Katiebop89]

People who listen to Drake and think neighbours will think they have more money for owning an SUV.

[@michaelb9664]

Only stupid people James, that’s who 😄 They are based on the same platform so the only real extra space is height. Personally I don’t need a couple of feet of empty space above my head, I’d rather have the more agile & lighter car out of the two so Fiesta ST it is.

[@gazzwad]

@@michaelb9664 wrong lol.. its wider longer and taller. So basically makes.sense now and your talking BS ..fiesta was too small and puma wasn't.. its not rocket science when the fiesta is cheaper lol if it was the same the puma wouldn't sell... same chassis not body .. only stupid people know this though!

[@monkeysa43]

Apparently not available in Scotland

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Hey Deon - thanks for your comment. Here at Peoples Ford we have availability of both used & new. Drop us an email [e-mail] and we would be more than happy to help.

[@nickb5891]

@ 1:49. No problem 👌🏼

[@Verknechter]

You should have done a rolling race. Too much human error on launch with FWD manual cars.

[@georgemavrides3434]

Plus I think the extra torque in the Puma would have played it's role to better compensate for the extra weight and increased drag. Minor stuff though...the Puma is a much better car overall as a daily commuter.

[@resnonverba137]

An interesting comparison. Please put a comma in, 'People's'. Thanks.

[@mark-1rc502]

Puma has more aero drag at higher speeds

[@johnwhite2143]

Puma st for me, just ordered one in mean green delivery due in Elgin moray around middle September can't wait 💚👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hey John, thanks for your comment! Mean green is such a great colour - bet you cant wait to get it!

[@gazzwad]

Puma only has LSD if purchased as an option (worth mentioning as it made out they all have it), which mine has and everyone should choose! i love mine i have one in grey matter. Realistically i like the fiesta more but it was that little bit too small for me ... we all know the fiestas better but t he puma is a great option!

[@daze1945]

Very true and also applies to the Fiesta ST. Get the performance pack.

[@stevenwilkins3687]

Drag races are all about weight, same engine but less weight and drag, wins every time.

[@JoshTitley]

You should use the new model if comparing really as they have exactly the same engine. I have the new fiesta st3 it’s unreal!

[@da_great_mogul]

"He's got meeeh"

JA AIIE 2 SIND GUT, aber der Puma ist größer sieht gut aus. Die neuen wo noch besser..

[@mikebrenner5864]

The presenter just refuses to look at the camera, looks like he’s talking to himself :))

[@TheSmokingGunmen]

This is just straight line racing. In real road conditions going around twisty bends the fiesta is going to be more fun. The higher centre of gravity of the puma means you won't be able to push as hard in the corners.

[@simm1790]

Got the last of the last fiesta st3 8.5 mean green the 8.5 has more torque then the mk8

[@JC_303]

ees gowtmeh ees gowtmeh!

Am sorry that Puma is so ugly. They truly sound naff. I will stick with my mk2.5 Focus st 5 pot a proper engine for real petrol heads.

[@Chemak2]

I love the Fiesta ST

[@SkyyMi]

Fiesta st for me. The puma has a fun design but I greatly enjoy how small my mrk7 FIst is. Wish ford would have given the states the mrk8. Thanks for the fun drag race.

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Hey, Puma definitely has a fun design! Glad you enjoyed the race!

[@jamielearmonth1039]

ill bring down my stage 1 mapped mk8 st and show up the lot of them and the new 8.5 fiesta. 😉

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Hi Jamie - sounds great, we will definitely be in touch if we are ever in need of a stage 1 Mk8 ST!

[@certificate98]

If you want room and space get a people carrier. Fiesta much superior.

[@paulcurran8006]

I'm sure it would of been a lot closer if you didn't hit the limiter 🙄

[@madmax-ht3zh]

The puma looks like a fiesta that got stung in the mouth by a bee 🐝

[@stevebailey6504]

Maybe if you spent less time screaming and more time not screwing the gear change and banging off the rev limiter then the Puma would have taken it! LOL!

[@PeoplesAutomotiveGroup]

Haha where would be the fun in that! We ran the race a good few times, with different drivers and we couldn't get the Puma to win.

[@YANT20]

Puma's driver hits rev limiter at the begining and lost time...

[@paullacey2999]

Well I wouldnt buy those two cars after you ragging them....🤣🤣🤣

[@mainman2999]

Pretty sure the 2023 model Fiesta ST has uprated torque by 30nm so has basically the same as the Puma ST ...
