There’s a quick fix to the charging plate ‘problem’ you have. Use the USB C socket in the arm rest. That solves a couple of issues - your phone being out of sight while driving (keeping you legal), and also eliminates error messages on the screen. The puma is a fab car all in all. I’ve just upgraded from the X to the full fat ST as I loved all the features inside and out 👍🏻
Yeah that is the only fix to the problem, but unfortunately I don’t use USB C with my iPhone. There’s nothing illegal about having your phone in sight while driving either. I did enjoy the Puma and it’s definitely got a lot of potential compared to other manufactures similar models. How are you finding the ST compared to the X?
Does it give error message if it’s two different mobiles? - no reason to plug the same phone into the USB if in the charging area. Most of these “hates” are very personal - I have a Puma and none of this guys “hates” are an issue for me … picky.
I'm not sure on the error message. All my hates are purely my opinion, I know there's other people who won't mind what I've said and others who will hate so much more than me! I only put the videos out there to try give people a bit more of an idea before they buy the car themselves and then later hate something
Really don't get it people picking up on Ford/Kia/Opel the cheap plastic as in this video to quote " for a 25k car" while in the same time being very forgiving with Audi/Mercedes which recently are taking the piss big time with cheap plastic and those cars cost 40k or over. Few examples of premium brands I checked when deciding on company car and finding cheap horrible plastic: -Mercedes CLA premium plus AMG line Phev. Price 42k. Cheap plastic everywhere below and including glove box and the central console. -Audi A3 S line competition Phev. Price with some options 40k. Cheap scratchy plastic including on top of front doors .And of course glove box and below on central console. These two have been seen by me in person. Also had as rental cars Renault Captur, Nissan Juke, Opel Mokka and they all have cheap plastic everywhere. One colegue bought a VW T-Roc and the plastics are horrible everywhere including top of the dash. Lame things to pick up especially he kept saying it's a 25k car, of course it is as it's high spec ST Line X .Puma it's in the class average in terms of interior materials used. Hoped I will learn something new about this car as I love how it drives for a crossover , unfortunately just wasted my time..
Definitely a valid point you make and I can't deny it. Although, I do find in the majority of the Audi's and Mercedes I've driven recently, the cheaper plastics are less noticeable and if they are there, they are at least designed slightly nicer.
every supplier these days is looking for cheaper options even if it's not exactly in line with customer rquirements. this is because of the price increase of raw materials especially polymer and other of course. a lot of legal arguing in automotive recently and it's just going to get worse cars more expensive with cheaper materials.
Well if this is the worst criticism of the car then I'm happy to pick up my new ST Line X on September 1st. Whatever, it's still going to be better than the eight year old Kia Rio we're getting shot of due to a dodgy gearbox. We're taking it to We Buy Any Crap..😅😅
Some good points….I’m close to ordering mine but still deliberating 🤔 Update: GREAT driving car, ordered this in white/automatic: points 1,2&4 not too bad as I use wireless charging phone also, won’t be using handbrake too often when in Park mode so access to water bottle or cup will be OK……would benefit from an electric handbrake then you could have a larger armrest…… Thanks for this very useful review 👍
All I can recommend is getting out and giving one a test drive mate! Get a feel for it and see how it would deal with your daily needs and expectations in a car!
Wireless charger doesn’t always work, and it’s much slower. Also, you need to have it plugged in for apple car play as it doesn’t have Bluetooth CarPlay
I had a number of Fords. Since Focus 2018 I've always charged my phone from USB in the armrest. You can fit your phone there or put it in the cup holder, as there is hole to run cable. Main USB is used to connect USB stick with music. This way no problem with cables and charging. About colors. Red is "sporty" so you will find it in most cars on stiching inside. Blue is Ford company color and it distinguish their cars on a road. BTW. Desert Island color is one of the nicest colors on car.
Also forgot to mention the limited leg on the back seats. If a person with long legs pushes the drivers seat back, the person at the back will end up poking their knees into the drivers back.
You make some good points I hadn't taken too much notice of when I looked at one last week. It should have an electric handbrake in this day and I def won't get blue now. Very good point about the conflict with charging and cable .. is wireless carplay and android auto an option I wonder ??
Thank you mate, glad I could point some things out you might have missed! Wireless CarPlay isn’t available, or at least wasn’t in this model, but it would definitely fix the problem. The only other operion is USB C charging in the centre storage bin, but USB C isn’t too frequently used in the UK
It looks quite nice but I can't help thinking it's a tall Fiesta that's been down the gym. Safety equipment level is poor compared to Nissan where as standard you get things like 360 camera.
@@OLTAUTOMOTIVE every major device in this country has a usb type c connector and the European Union recently announced it was too be the sole charging connector.

I'm getting mine this week and I can already see some of the things you highlighted annoying me 🙂 regarding a cheap plastic interior you should sit in T-Roc 🤦♂️
I hope the things I’ve mentioned don’t annoy you! Got to think though, unless you can spend big money on cars and spec them exactly how you want, there’s always going to be something in a car that is a bit annoying! I’ve never sat in a T-Roc, but I’ve had a few people tell me they’re the worst car of the VW range! Let me know how you find your new car when you get it!
@@OLTAUTOMOTIVE I was test driving it today and liked it. ST-X 155hp but it doesnt have keyless entry I was surprised to be honest as my old fiesta has it. But on the other side I can live without it one less thing to worry about securitywise. :-)
@@rustypipe keyless entry is a nice little feature, but in all honesty how important is it? I’ve had keyless entry in a few of my cars, and I rarely use it, I still take the key out most the time to unlock and lock the car anyways!
wow its literally a ford fiesta minus the digital cluster interior wise. And i think adding a digital cluster on the mk8 fiesta is possible now just gotta wait for cheap spare parts on ebay lmao.
Maybe the error message was because you had your phone plugged in and also sat where the wireless charger is. Why would anyone do that? Thanks for the review but in all the Puma reviews, good and bad, yours is the most pointless. Merry Christmas 🎅
Why would anyone do that? Plugging the phone in is the only way to get Apple CarPlay. If you want apple CarPlay, you must have the phone plugged in to that USB, and once it’s plugged in, where else are you meant to put the phone? On the floor? No other car has this issue. If other car manufacturers can allow you to plug your phone in for CarPlay and allow the phone to be sat on/near a wireless charger without issue, why can’t Ford? If they can’t solve the issue, move where they USB connector is or put the wireless charging capability elsewhere. Simple.
@@jimbennett1995 I did see the wireless CarPlay option, but either my phone or the car wasn’t working properly… it’s definitely the go to though, would make situations much easier!

These are rubbish vehicles and what makes it worst is Ford’s service. Bought a 71 plate brand new Puma. After 1900 miles on the clock the clutch goes!!!!! No replacement vehicle was given for the duration of over two weeks and was charged £989 for the replacement. How terrible is that? May be the company learn from Kia or some Far East companies about customer services and policies 😡
I've never owned a Ford personally, and don't particularly plan on owning one but after hearing this its definitely raised an eyebrow on my end! Was the clutch going a manufacture fault? Or did they ever disclose how it occurred? It seems ridiculous that after so little mileage this would happen on what I imagine was a brand new car at the time, and to be charged £989 for it is ludicrous. I'd be very frustrated at all of this, hopefully you managed to get some money back or other deals from this?

Completely agree, not getting a camera in a modern car is almost like a crime, especially when you consider the price of cars these days. I'm yet to experience a Juke but your comment has me intrigued on getting in one and giving it a review!
Think you need to consider just combining your videos into an actual review of the car. Perhaps Include some actual information about the car too to accompany your opinions.

I have an ST-Line (not X) and I like it. The colour of mine is the same as that one, Desert Island Blue, which is great.

The charging plate problem only concerns iphones due to their unique MagSafe charging system. The charging of all the other phones works.
