  • The 2021 Ford Puma ST is a bit of a weird one - it's the taller, heavier, more expensive brother to the absurdly brilliant Fiesta ST. Join me as I try to find out if it's got any of little brother's madcap charm or if it's just a tryhard SUV that's just wearing a sporty badge.

    I love the way this car looks, especially in this colour. I hope Ford is successful with it.
    As always, your review made me chuckle - your channel deserves more views (but swearing isn't good for those algorithms!). In other news, my GR Yaris has arrived and I can now confirm that your reviews are factually accurate, its fantastic!

    Unfortunately this is a average car and inside the car is a massive let down for a ST. It’s a Fiesta with a different top on it. Ford will not make a big impact on the SUV market with this PUMA or aka Fiesta

I'm in the eve of buying one but still confused about if I'm doing right or wrong about jt 😄 I also fear to encounter a faulty manufactered one from factory, lots of complains about Fords all over Internet. These are mainly about production quality of paint and interior trim sometimes dents or changes from factory

      @@fatihkir9655 glad you still have it. I finally received mine few days ago. Everything seems ok. The thing bothering me is now getting used to clutch point. Because I was an automatic car user long time. 🙈 I first passed the driving test with manual but then didn't have to chance to use any manual, it was 20 years ago. The car feels really stiff and little stressed me out by its power when trying to roll off in red light traffic after few stalls I had. Sometimes couldn't start and roll easily after stall because of the traffic in my back. Yesterday I worked for this in an empty hilly area, I was alright with there but sometimes car behaves different when coming out from auto start stop and I have to restart the engine by button in traffic, the only stalls I had was because of this red light rolls off. Sometimes works sometimes not, maybe I am newbie about manual but is there anything that should I pay attention about clutch? I was learning just by myself by the way. Beside that I really liked the car as I said it made little nervous after few stalls

      Because it's based on a Fiesta, with a Fiesta engine, a Fiesta interior, a Fiesta chassis and you could imagine someone walking into a Ford showroom to look at a Fiesta and then seeing this and thinking 'ooo that's roomier, but not much bigger'. Do you see why I compared it to the Fiesta?

      Predictable response. No, thankfully something like this doesn't make me angry, just find it bizarre how people add in letters to words and come up with pronunciations that don't match the word that they are attempting to pronounce, e.g adding and R to Fieata, interesting

    • @mad4tar77
      @mad4tar77 3 роки тому

      The link you've added provides an audio pronucation of Fiesta. And guess what, no R, they pronounced Fiesta, not Fiestar 🙄.
      When the spelling of the word gets changed, come back to me, until such time, stop digging.

    • @mad4tar77
      @mad4tar77 3 роки тому

      It doesn't pronounce an R, because there isn't one in the word. Not very bright are you. Learn how to speak English.
