Hope you all like the video! Apologies on sounding like I’ve just ran a marathon, I filmed this in about 40 mins and there was a lot to get done 😂 Thank you for all the support!
Proof that the people still long for the John Player Special trim fitted to the Capri of yesteryear 😁
A car without a spare wheel makes me hesitate to drive it on long distance trips, it doesn't gime me the peace of mind. Anyway it's a beautiful car.
I have a Puma ST and its a great car. I looked at the Gold edition but there were few stumbling points for me....1. You can't have the Panoramic roof as an option. 2 There is nothing apart from a few gold detailing that on the whole, cost Ford next to nothing extra to produce. Ford priced this £2500+ over the Puma performance model. I couldn't justify the additional cost.
It's very nice and a great car but so are the other STs.
I agree,I was thinking the same, I prefer the puma st in mean green colour, just ordered one in mean green with the machined magnetite alloys and it will have the ford performance seats inside that are actually made by recaro but branded ford performance,should be September October time for delivery for brand new puma st 🤞👌👍💚🏴
@@johnwhite2143 Mine arrived in February and I love it. Fantastic red with pan roof and electric tailgate. I'm a member of the ford Puma forum...look it up as many guys are on there discussing their progress of build etc. At the moment it's looking at around 5-7 months. A long wait but worth it. See you there.
@@andrewdent696 yeh definitely worth the wait, I never bothered with added options like power tailgate or pan roof or performance pack an certainly not towbar lol, just green paint colour was the only add on for me, that puma st looks amazing, my puma st will be called Kermit coz green an the look of front end that alot of people say looks like a frog lol, I like the look of it from every angle, one car that does all for sure, roll on 6 months time an all the best with your new puma st enjoy 👌👍🏴😁
The Puma looks good with the gold alloys and stripes. Not a fan of crossovers but I'm starting to warm to the Puma. Thanks for the review 👍
Reminds me of the Ford Capri JPS from the 70's
What's with the background? Lightning or camera issues? Also, did she start in 2nd gear?
I filmed this in 20 minutes at a test day at a test track. I am not sure what the camera issues are? I'm not a pro... I film on my iPhone. lastly, yes probably!
Black and gold girl,you are too young to remember Lotus F1 cars with Mario Andretti racing them in the late 1970s.Many people loved that colour combination.
Black and gold, reminds me of the Lotus JPS F1 cars
Black and gold always reminds me of Japanese cars I think, like the Subaru
An innovative idea to take away the spare wheel and con you into believing they've done you a favour. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Did know one else notice she set off in second gear ? 5:46
Reminiscent of the JPS Lotus cars ?
Is the diff standard on the gold edition?
Black & Gold is a classic look, the Abarth Scorpioneoro also looks great in this combination.
I couldn't agree more!
Least they didn’t call it “Carry McCar Face” or something :D looks awesome as a special edition :) Awesome vid as always! Also sensing some outfit coordination black and gold to match the car :D
Outfit combo was complete fluke! Result! 😄
Love this car and the channel! Always the highlight of my Saturday mornings.
Thank you, have a wonderful bank holiday weekend!
Puma is outselling the fiesta which i found surprising, Ford interiors are a big letdown for me and have been for a long time.
I agree, except every time I say that I get a lot of hate hahahah. I did really like these seats though!
@@AutoSocialUK I meant more the layout and design of the dashboard and switches Tish compared to their competitors i trust your judgement on the seats, Ford have fallen back a long way in my opinion always seem to be slow in updating their models.
Ford cars are cheap, cool, have great handling and have an optimal compromise between performance and fuel consumption. Me and other people don't care about overpriced living rooms on 4 wheels.
The problem is I perceive is that teenagers have picked the design not people who are probably actually gonna buy it 40+
Just Another ford rust bucket , like the original ford puma was ???
Gold edition.....this takes the carat 😄
Hahahha love it Robert
Looks like the old John Player Special [JPS] nothing new.
No way a car manufacturer of that magnitude would pay to make a custom front bar for a limited run of 999
bring the ford puma st to the usa richmond va
All that hard work and called it a fiesta the end 😂
@@dancfrench to be fair to me, I had around 15 minutes with the car to film and present this 🤯 no wonder my brain was fried
@@AutoSocialUK I’m thinking of buying one and your ‘fiesta’ video has helped, in a good way.
I was hoping for a more exciting colour than black
Hi tish I like ur jacket 😁😜nd review also
Solo un fallo.... PUMA en negro?? Por favor, póngalo en el color de las llantas
Come on Ford wake up, you need a auto version of the ST
No 4wd no sale..
I love this car! I have had a G wagon and the brilliant Chevy Trailblazer and this car is just so awesome
Love that!
Another great video and even more impressive having the car for such a short period of time. Good chatting at SMMT on Tuesday
Thank you Damo! So lovely chatting to you and hearing about your daughter!
Good car, but not sure its worth the premium over the standard model. Not really enough additional spec.
Agree, although I do really like the modifications but you would want some more power to justify it.
Ford are on life support here in Australia
BRAVO Ford Romania 🇷🇴😎
Great Review 👍🏾 🏴
I've just bought one
Lucky you!! Your son commented on my TikTok, you must all be very excited!
Love this video tish 👍🏽😊
Car looks and sounds good
I keep for getting to ask you do you still have the abarth?
Yes still have the Abarth..... for now
She said Fiesta ST at the end lols 😂
Did she just said in the end ... what do u think of the gold edition fiesta st.
I did, sorry I filmed this video ultra quickly 😅
Would yr boots be for sale? X
I like the Puma, but that cooler box in the boot means there can be no spare wheel, even a compact one, so it is a hard “no” for me. I’ve had tyres give out on me just twice in my life, but both times they were at night, on a motorway, and in the rain, and both times they had to be replaced. The first time I called for emergency service and was told it would take 2-3 hours. I changed the tyre in 10 minutes and was on my way. The second time I never even called. My old car had a full size spare, which is ideal, but even a compact would do.
I think this is great competition to the Cupra Leon and the GTI.
I’m sorry, but the Kona N doesn’t come with a 6MT, even in the North American and Korean specs. Only the 8DCT.
The 6MT is only offered in the 1-litre 3cyl and the diesel, but they’re not sold in North America.
That’s true, I guess I’ve never had bad enough experiences to make me think I’d definitely need a wheel but I completely understand where you’re coming from.
They're still for sale online
Live the puma st,another great review tish 👏
"Social Meedya"
Great vid nice looking car. Shame about the blopper at the end when you said fiesta st .lol
Ohhhh did I 😂😂😂 didn’t even notice! I was filming in 35 mins so was talking at 1000 miles per hour 😅
@@AutoSocialUK still a great video
You're so cute
Thank you!
Have to agree with that one. Stylish dress sense, no fakery and those blue eyes. Oh, and the fact that she’s a car girl is the icing on the cake 😊
@@AutoSocialUK I mean your accent, really like ur British accent
Great looking car ,and great review and stunning looking girl too, just ordered a brand new puma st in mean green with the magnetite machined finish alloys, delivery due September October time can't wait ,one car that does be everything an looks beautiful too and quick and sounds great 💚👌👍🏴
Wow how exciting John!! Bet your can’t wait!
@@AutoSocialUK definitely excited,but it be worth the wait,once I seen this puma st in mean green my mind made up it's absolutely gorgeous, definitely the best looking ford you can get in my eyes and I had a Mustang ecoboost a couple of years ago but wasn't practical enough for me, this puma st on the other hand is a car that does it all it's perfect for me and this be my first ever brand new car when it arrives 💚👌👍🏴
Great review of a good car. Ford have invariably done fine editions of standards going way back and most of them handled. Puma ST Gold carries the tradition well.
Yes it’s a really cool addition to the lineup!
Isso eu chamo de sotaque
Big car like that surely you'd want an auto box?
Personally, yes I would opt for something like The Hyundai Kona with the automatic gearbox and a bit more power but the manual does suit this car
@@AutoSocialUK I tend to be towards a more relaxing drive using an auto box with the torque with a big car like this. I'd definitely buy one with an auto I think
Great review!
Great car
Love it but the emblems should have been in gold.
Yes I agree, I think that maybe have been decided by social media too! Thank you for watching
Lovely big black 1, can't beat it xx
😂😂😂😂
Fiesta is build in Germany while this Puma that is 97% a copy of Fiesta, and more expensive, is build in Romania. There is no rational to buy this over a Fiesta.
The engine might only be a little bitty 3cyl, but performance is quite good for a subcompact crossover.
I also love the Gold Edition Puma ST. I saw one in person yesterday.
And because of the 3cyl, it should get better fuel consumption than something like a Kona N, but of course, you don’t buy a car like this for fuel consumption.
It’s definitely a good option compared to other performance SUV’s!
@@AutoSocialUK In terms of running costs, definitely.
You certainly don't. Smiles per gallon.
@@guest5659 This Puma ST is rated at 42.8 UK mpg combined city and highway driving, but of course, it’s highly unlikely you’ll achieve that.
The Kona N gets about 9mpg less.
@@DaveDVideoMaker yes but the kona has nearly 90bhp more and an extra cylinder so it's obvious the puma would be more efficient..
I got a puma st great cars
I was very impressed!
One high performance vehicle I think Ford needs to make is the Kuga ST.
I’m thinking it should have a 295hp 2.3 litre turbo 4cyl taken from the Lincoln Corsair, with AWD and an 8AT.
Nice but I’ll take my kuga any day of the week
I think Ford should make a Küga ST with AWD and the 2.3 litre taken from the Lincoln Corsair.
The Corsair is the luxury version of the Ford Küga / Escape.
I had a Kuga ST line plug in hybrid and it went like shit of a shovel. In sport mode I managed 0 to 60 in around 7.5 seconds. Ford reckon it'll do it in 9.2. Due to loosing my job I now have a 67 plate diesel Kuga 180bhp with AWD and that's almost as quick!
@@joshtaylor7881 yeah, the one you have now is the one I have in red. Bloody hell, for a big en, it don’t half shift! Wouldn’t mind an ST focus & reluctantly trading this in but the ride is far too hard & the wife ain’t gonna let me anyway 😂
@@PeterPan-oz4sq the ride on my ST Line Kuga (67 plate) was ridiculous firm. I got offered a part ex deal that I couldn't turn down so I now have a 67 plate Kuga Vignale with the same engine and gearbox. It's just had the gearbox oil changed and full service and it goes better than the ST Line and a lot more comfortable ride
Love it
It's awesome!
You'd always get a massive "thumbs up" from me, Tish! Gorgeous lady with great automobile knowledge and that beautiful British accent. :) (hugs)
Thank you for watching Edward, did you like the Puma ST?
@@AutoSocialUK yes I did, Tish...though sadly, it's not available here in the States. But it does look like a fun car!
You had me at ST!
We love an ST!!
@@AutoSocialUK and heated seats🤣😋
Too slow
Yes in reality they aren't that fast. Felt slow coming from other hot hatches..
Yes, I think they could have got away with 250bhp at least
@@AutoSocialUK I really love the way it looks though. Will he interesting to see what people do to them in terms of modification. Will happen for sure cos it does look sick 🤣
Not a bad looking car. It's just the reliability, and after sales service that is the worry.
Fantastic video highlight of my Saturday especially seeing your gorgeous smile
Thank you for watching Philip
Ar least Ford's performance division seemt to still be putting some effort in - it seems Ford are on a slide everywhere else. Across pretty much every other sector, their cars (in Europe at least) seem to be utterly forgettable.
You’re correct but they seem to have a HUGE and very dedicated following in the UK
@@AutoSocialUK Agree Trish - they do have a big, grass roots following still, but I bet it's not for many of Ford's cars within the last 10 years. These people tend to cherish the older Fords - the RS's, Cosworth's etc - you know, the days when Ford had a good reputation and were almost untouchable in the performance-on-a-budget crowd.
