I’m the owner of the Puma since 2020. Drove 45 000km. Puma in Sport Mode is surprising agile and fast car. The best since Focus times. The best thing is the how precisely the steering is working and how Good and Economy is the R3 engine. I have 125KM M6 version without MHEV techn and achieve 6.5L/100km . It’s Great car for Daily driving
Hi Ben, must admit I went off Fords in the mid 80’s, and have never really looked at them since. However I can see the appeal of the Puma, it is a good looking car, well built and well specced. My neighbour swears by them, he got a brand new ST Line in August and was written off after a collision with an errant Amazon driver in a Transit shed in the lanes where we live. Thankfully the Insurance sourced him a new one to the same spec which he got last week! Great review, I share your chagrin at no grab handles, I use them all the time in the Honda which has 4👍
Glad you enjoyed this review George! Both Ben & I enjoyed driving it, especially with that old school hand brake! We also love the way it pays homage to the original Puma. Thank you.
If they put the touch screen and the insulation (for outside noise reduction) into the old model it wouldve been a lot better. When you do a side by side you notice theyve taken away some nicer details that made the car feel a bit more premium, overcomplicated the stocks on the wheel and to save money, changed out calipers for drum brakes. Youre paying more for this model because they've added a giant touchscreen as far as i can tell

It really impressed us, I’d be like to drive the more powerful one now, thank you Marek

There’s a few more tweaks and restyles too Ford badge moved etc, maybe the drums assist with regen, it’s sometimes the case. Thank you SJC
I wish this car would come to Canada💔
Hopefully the Electric variant which releases next year may come to Canada - we’ll see what we can find.
Odd how we just picked up a 155ps ST Line X Auto in the new spec 4 weeks ago......????
Yes, you’ve got a different chip with your 1 litre and like ST no manual available either, and that manual is superb 😀 such a shame.
