Naturally, a young millennial presenter would go for the lairy fiesta. Because of this, I would not read too much into his conclusions. The puma is the more grown up option, because its aimed at a different market demographic. (yes I am older than the presenter!).
I was looking for a new sporty car and eventually narrowed my choice to the Fiesta ST and the Puma. I test drove both and ended up with (a bit of a mouthful) a new Puma ST Line Vignale Sport X. A 1.5 turbo ecoboost, full leather interior, heated seats, both front seats with variable massage. Front and rear cameras, keyless. Automatic or tiptronic manual drive. normal, eco, sport, rough terrain or icy conditions settings, self parking etc etc. Very quick, great handling, tramlining and even a heated steering wheel. What more could you ask for ? IMO the Fiesta is a nice hot hatch but my Puma is way better. Add to all that lovely blue metallic paint. The choice was easy for me and I don't regret that choice for a second.
It's probably an age thing, your over 35 audience would be getting the puma all day. I can appreciate the fiesta would have a more pure drive but not worth the compromise.
You haven't learnt the data correctly mr reviewer , the power is the same but the torque not. Fiesta ST has 290NM and Puma ST has 320NM to compensate the extra weight.
Both nice cars, I've got family an like my camping trips an mountain biking an hiking up mountains so I've just ordered the puma st in mean green, beautiful looking car and practical too, personally I prefer the look of the puma st it's cool an quirky an sporty and green the best colour for puma st,closely followed by grey matter colour, was originally going to get the puma st line X in grey matter but after seeing the puma st in green on website an you tube videos just fell in love with it , long wait now be sept/Oct time before it's ready an delivered , brand new one as well can't wait ,great review cheers , greetings from Scotland 🏴👍
You can get a Puma in a 7 speed automatic ,i think this chap is more opinion than fact as the Puma has much more front seat headroom ,go do your research before you babble on like Jeremy Clarkson !.
I’ve just traded a 69 plate Fiesta ST in for a new Puma ST and the puma is better in every way. The fiesta is an incredible car but the way they have set the puma up is seriously impressive. I went for the frozen white and it looks like a baby Porsche.
Why you test the fiësta ST in sport mode (crackle) and the Puma ST in standard? I'm driving the Puma ST for 1 year now, my worst car ever... Steeringrack problems, paint losing from wheelarches, doors ratteling with little bass with the B&O soundsystem, the thing in the back, constantly fall of, lot of wheelhop, ratteling engine... Sorry but not had much fun in the year..
@@relentlesspursuit6894 oh, the relentless BS returns. Again, if you hate the FiST so much, why are you even here?! Your so weird, oh and you might want to hide your IP 😬👀

For me the Puma...a little bigger and better looking...
love the look of Fiesta ST

The Puma is 3mm taller? Wth? That cant be right.
The Puma is 83mm taller.
3mm taller lol 🤣 u can clearly see there's a few centimetres of difference in height in video
Imagine trying to measure that. Laser anyone 😂
No competition. Ford fiesta st it is
I got a fiesta st2 with performance pack love it so much not driven a puma st yet but would love to try it out great video
I have a lot of fords, the last ones being a focus mk2 ST, focus st mk3.5 and the Kuga 180... for me my puma ST is the best Ford I’ve had.
Yeh had a mk2. Fuel and tyres for the beast. Puma lot more efficient practical nowadays 😀

Yeh agree. In late 40s and Puma seems a good balance. Ideally I had a warehouse of cars to suite me 😂
Would of been nice to see a drag race between the happy frog and the angry fish
Would love to have done one but sadly didn't have the space to do one. Hopefully we'll have some more drag races in the future. - Cam

I have a fiesta ST3 and i don't believe it is. It's bigger, taller heavier so...
The fiesta is way better
Depends what you want. Prefer the puma me
Just got myself a fiesta ST as it’s the last of a generation of hot hatches! Who wants a big rolly polly people carrier? The fun has ended!
Is it stiff, Im in my mid 40s and our UK roads are so pitted, any suspension compliance or would it be annoying as a daily?
And what MPG did u get?
Puma ST the best car in 2021 👍
Would be cool if we got this in the states.

Odd that, must be just yours
Puma is súper nice car
I've got the st3 fiesta 19plate with performance pack .has all the bells and whistles ,I love it 👍
Thx for this nice video but what about the list of features? Are they the same or do we have differences between the ST X of both models?
Driven the puma.a st the other day I think the pumas steering is a lot lighter and maybe slightly easier to live with
Worth the extra just for the colour alone
Such an awesome colour - Cam
No adaptive cruise available on the fiesta. I think this should be stated more in reviews. That’s a deal breaker on its own.
My PCP is up and this is my dilemma. Think i will stick with fiesta
So it's a Fiesta but worse.
Nice review and comparison, so much better than that muppet from carwow.
Thank you for the kind words! Really glad you enjoyed the review - Cam
Just ordered a puma st
30mm higher
Better than a Fiesta - WAY better
Oof! What do you prefer over the Fiesta? - Cam
@@YesAutoUK puma is better looking - plus it doesn't wear the Fiesta badge

Cater for 2 different markets! Both fantastic cars. Fiesta is far more involving to drive on B roads though !
@@chirpywiggins5796 Puma covers all bases, and it's not a Fiesta
