Great review. I’ve been sitting on the fence about the Puma for a while now, but a “real world” review like this has answered a lot of questions. Thanks 👍
Thanks for your nice words. We are still surprised at how big fans we are of the Puma.
I ordered a new Ford Focus Titanium, March 19 at my regular Ford dealer. They found one for me at a Showroom. It was the start of the Lockdown. But the Showroom said they would keep until the Lockdown was over. So July comes and had they, no. So my garage at the end of COVID found they could only find new automatics, which I didn’t want. But the Salesman was driving a Ford Puma First edition demo. Desert Island blue, reg 1/1/19 six months old. Exactly my colour. So I did a deal. Brilliant car. Very pleased. My neighbour does the three year Ford lease. His car was due to be changed in Sept 19. Was so impressed with mine, did a Ford Puma lease.
We've always had Ford's and we've been driving our Puma for about 16 months now and it's a great car. I've driven both the ST-X 155hp first edition and my own Titanium-X 125hp first edition and i found the titanium better to drive. That's why we bought this one. Just a bit more comfortable ride then the ST and the engine just sounds and feels better while driving. The 125hp is really the sweet spot together with the 48 volt battery it's really punchy enough to get along in traffic and it still feels very nimble, direct and even sporty sometimes, specially when you put the car in sport mode . The ST has a complete digital screen while the titanium only has a smaller digital screen plus two analogue clocks. But i like it. Now i can have a analogue and a digital speedometer at the same time if i want too. Plus the titanium has easy removable seat covers which you can pop in the washing machine after your kids stained the seats, very useful. Plus the titanium version has front massage seats which works pretty decent as well, also it has front seat heating with three positions and electronic lumbar support with memory function and also a heated steering wheel. The automatic parking works pretty decent too. It has blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, etc. The Puma has place for wireless recharge of your phone in the front and two usb spots, one in the front and one under the arm rest which isn't easy to reach unfortunately but at least it works. The multimedia screen works decent, it's not the best but not the worst either, just works fine. And the sound system works great as well thx to the B&O speakers and woofer. The luggage space is good thx to that mega box, gives you almost 460 liters of space. Really useful for taking tall things along. Wel everything together i think it's a very nice and economical car for a smal family that doesn't want a car that's to big but spacious enough. I hope this gives people enough information about this car 🙂
Thanks for the information, I’m saving to buy either the ford puma or Peugeot 2008. I Have a question, what is the fuel economy like?
@@Luckie666 hi, if you end up buying a 2008 make sure you avoid the 1.2 petrol engine. Its extremely unreliable
@@Buddy08. thanks for the info, after a lot of research im going for the puma, im going to wait until the summer hoping prices will drop considerably.
@@Luckie666 No problem, my dad has just bought a ford puma yesterday, and ST-Line X and were hoping it will be more reliable than our 308 🤣
@@Buddy08. 😂 it should be it’s won engine of the year for the last 3 years !
I have owned my Puma for three months now and love it to bits. I really enjoy watching videos like yours because it reaffirms that I made the right choice. It also shows me things that I did not know about the car. It is so comfortable to drive and I feel safe in it. I highly recommend it.
Excellent review 👏
we bought this today and still watching videos thank you for an honest feedback and it gave me so much guts that I made a good chooicel
Always thinking about getting a ford puma this has now made my mind up thanks for this vid ❤
Great review Excellent.
Thinking about the ST line myself. This video pushed me over the edge quite a bit.
It think its a great car.
I have a Puma ST Line X First Edition 155 BHP best car ive ever had goes like a rocket in Sports Mode had it 15 months now and it is worth the same as when i bought it in the UK due to the current car market delay in getting new models so happy days still want a Mean Green though at some point - fab review
just bought this model today ! so excited for it to arrive!!! 🤩🤩
Good choice! It's a wonderful car to drive.
Yeah I seen one on the road the other day looks really good..
I bought one of these about 2 months ago, I enjoy it. I had a Lexus rx350 Pre this vehicle and it’s definitely not as lux as that but for a small Ford SUV it hits the spot and really great for the price
Hi, i absolut agree all your feeling with this car. My little Cat is a 1.0 l 3cyl 155hp mild hybrid st- line vignale and I love it. It´s absolut entertain me every day. greetings from germany / very good review 👍
I have mine for a month now and it's really great, i easily make around 650km driving on 40-42 litres with E10 petrol. I agree 110% with the reviewer, it's such an enjoyment to drive it, it's effortless. He's one is even better model then mine, has seat heating and massagers which is very helpful if you feel fatigued while driving.
Thanks Drazen. I'm glad you are loving it.
Nice review
Had my 15 plate fiesta ST3 stolen 3 weeks ago, gone for a 20plate puma MHEV, picking it up tomorrow, can’t wait!
I totally agree I love mine I feel the same way I had a mustang Mach e but it’s nothing to my puma absolutely love it
This is what i call a review. A passionate owner driving the car for a few months and then the review. I wish all cars would be reviewed like this. Im kinda between the Opel Mokka, the VW T-Roc and this Puma. Which ever i choose, ill love it just like this man :) Thanks guys.
Agreed. I couldn't give a flying fuck about slipped rear differentials or whatever I dont even know what it means. I just want to know what it's like to own and drive.
Hey, which one have you chosen? Why and how is it now? Thanks
Wow I’m really starting to like this PUMA I was also looking at the Havalh2 but I’m thinking about resale value
A few months ago I had my heart set on an mx-5 and now I'm split 60/40 in favour of a puma
I own a Fiesta ‘S’ with the Ecoboost 1.0.Just a cracking engine.The thing goes!
Beautiful FORD PUMA made in Romania 🇷🇴❤️👍😎
Thank you for the review! I really like it!
Mines on order next few months fingers crossed st line x
I drive a old 2lt fiesta st150, and they pull on the Puma for half the engine is fantastic. Very comfy too
Not having a spare wheel is NOT a great feature no matter how the marketing dress it up. But by god do I love my Puma!
Great car love mine
Currently have a 23 player 208, my misses has just picked up an eco sport and I feel some aspects are of better quality than my car. I would jump across next time to a fiesta but they’ve stopped making those and I believe it’s the puma that’s taken its spot. I’m open to the puma
I really like Ford. In Thailand no have Ford Puma😢😢 but I had Ford Fiesta ❤
Great review from a normal guy who actually uses the car. Not some salesman trying to sell it to you. Beautiful looking car obviously not as beautiful as a mega expensive sports car but who can afford those. I believed him when talking about the cars performance. Good review.
Cheers Robert. The Puma is certainly innovative. It's great to get a genuine, nice comment. 👍
Puma is the best car to have in 2021!
Uhmm noo.
Dude... IT PARKS ITSELF. FOR REAL. E v e r y t i m e!
looks good in black.
they tested the 1 litre focus in germany and it drove 130+ mph..........impressive
For how long before it blows up
Dont know whether to swap my fiesta active for a ford puma as looking to start a family… would there be a large difference between the 2?
Great video. I'm in Europe, and I'm looking to buy a B SUV as my first car. I was struggling with choosing the C-HR and the Puma, and this video convinced me. I just want to ask if you recommend the ST Line over the Titanium.
im between those 2 cars too...any advice?
@@locoloco2152 I ended up getting a Hyundai Kona Electric, have it for over a year now and no complaints so far.
I ordered a brand new vignale at the end of January, it's delivery date is February 2023, which is more likely to be March 1st if you ask me. Great review, just so annoying waiting.
Did you get your Vignale & how long did you have to wait ? I`m so disappointed Ford have dropped the Vignale.
There is a guy called Rory Reid who reviews for Auto Trader, I watched his review of this car and his is crap, compared to yours. Although this is a short review, the photography is first class because we can see inside the car and the boot, which, in his case, he doesn't even know that we want to see inside the car. Well done mate!
this is the 3rd review I see on this Puma and all 3 reviews vouch for that small 3cyl Engine, saying that it's surprisingly fun for such a small engine and chassis. my biggest fear would be reliability. But it's to see that at least some manufacturers are trying to make some fun small cars which can surprise you during the ride.
My ford puma engine broke last week
Do they sell the puma in other countries under a different name? Have a good one from West Tennessee
1:08 But where is the sink? My mums puma has a much larger storage area there it has a plughole as well.
Is this with the optional spare tire? That's why the boot is smaller?
Just ordered the vignale
Bruce, can I get a spare tyre in boot?. Can my missus give me a blowie from front seat or ride my jock in the back?.
Does every Puma has the puddle lamp at 4:53 ? (i wanna maybe buy ST Line X Modell)
That Puma have a spare wheel my question is can you take out the spare wheel and get a normal Mega Box?
Should have talked about the stop and go function of the cruise control.
Thanks. Will touch on that next time.
hold it! the thieves know that a Puma has such a double boot. I want a Puma limited at 60 cuz that is our max speed. Nice car.
Strange, the low baggage site is bigger in my Puma here in Italy. About 80 litres
The side looks like the old mark one escort also the correct focus looks the same
Which engine is he testing? 125 or 155?
Does that really small motor have enough get up if you decide to pull out in traffic...Most ppl don't know to hit sports mod to pull out, especially in quick thinking situation.
No electric drivers seats.. $1500 Park pack to get all drivers aids when they are standard on ALL other cars..
RWD with the 2.0 turbo would be nice
I got Kuga in Taiwan, now I'm thinking why can't I get the Puma.
What engine is Inthis car, 125 or 155?
Great review, thanks. Quite a relief too, because I’ve just bought one - could be over 3 months until I get it though due to global ‘supply chain issues’.
However, I am on a personal mission to try and get CZcamsrs to stop using music while they are talking! Either chat or music - to have both at the same time is irritating and distracting. 😉
How long did you had to wait to get your puma?
@@wtfisditvoorbullshit 7 months in the end!
@@xVentax damn that sucks! Long time. You like the car?
@@wtfisditvoorbullshit Yes, very much. I had a Mini before that, for only about 5 months before I went for the Puma. Could not get comfortable in the Mini, but the Puma is great - plenty of room and all the bells & whistles.
I hope the spare tire isn't under the car in the back.I had a Ranger pickup that was like that,and I hated it.I live in the snowbelt,so the road salt rusted it solid.It took a sawzall to cut it loose.
No. She's in the boot under the "secret" compartment.
@@FordKnowHow -Thank you.For too long Ford kept the spare tires underneath.It's about time they changed that.
Is the black easy to keep clean ? I'm having either black or gun metal gray
Sadly, black is the same with any car. Magnetic (grey) or Solar Silver would have to be our best selling colour.
Hello what can you tell us about reliability after 6 months?Thanks
Nothing to report. They are holding up very well. If you purchased a Puma when it was first released in Australia is will be covered by 5 year unlimited Km warranty until 1/5/25
@@FordKnowHow thanks you
I keep my helmet boots and jacket for incase I want to call to have a go on mi bike 👍👍👍👍
Väärällä puolella ratti. Maanantaierää?
Did you know that there is a tub with drain under your spare wheel. European Pumas don't have a spare wheel under the cover in the trunk. You can put water in it or wash your dirty hiking shoes for example and let the water drain off.
The spare wheel is on the options list (I’m in EU)...my Puma was already built when I ordered it and it came with this option. Cost was €100 extra, so fairly reasonable!
@ItsPatrick have you done your home work before spreading incorrect information.
The clacking sound in the background music is so annoying I can barely hear you talking. Otherwise nice video. Many Blessings!
Does it have a spare tyre and auto folding mirrors?
I has space saver spare in the cavity where Jerry put his bag. The mirrors do auto fold. You can set them to fold when locking or set mirrors to manual fold. They fold manually by pushing the button on drivers door.
@@FordKnowHow Thanks. Next question do Ford give a 5 year warranty in Aistralia and only 3 in the UK?
@@chips1889 I don't know about the Uk. But there's 5 year unlimited Km's warranty here in Australia.
@@FordKnowHow Thnaks again. It's only 3 in the UK and stops me buyin g one here. Probably go for a KIA
later this year (7 years here).
Its a space saver spare tire in boot. You can set the mirrors to auto fold when locked or leave them out, its your choice.
It's going to be the new wrc car 2022..yet the road car don't have awd! come on ford ...st sud be 2.0 litre 4p0t...plus side love the proper hand brake
Is it comfortable for 1.90 tall driver ?
The driver in this review was 1.85. He still claims to be very comfortable. There is still 10 cm clearance above his head when seat is set at its lowest.
Got to test drive the St line one today (i think thats what its called) Handled really well, fun to drive. But not the best suspension for rural Vic unfortunately. Now leaning towards the Kona N thats due out here in a couple of months.
Kona N does not have a sunroof as an option. I like having a sunroof in a car.
Wrong. Yes it does. Kona N premium.
@@MrRiffbear1 oh wow. Thanks for confirming that. I’ll hold off going for the Puma ST.
You’re welcome. Just depends what ya want I guess. Ford puma has parking assist and a few other cool gizmos. Kona N is all about it’s power.
@@MrRiffbear1 you must be in Aus? I’m in the U.K. I’ve just doubled checked and I can’t see any option for a sunroof. I’m baffled.
Agree with you as you get older you want useful tech safety smooth ride and not performance
Side looks great, the back is ok, don't really like the front...
Which version is this, ST Line?
Its the ST Line with added tech pack, Lane keep assist. Adaptive Cruise. Park Assist to see full specs. www.ford.com.au/suv/puma/models/ford-puma-st-line-1-0-l-petrol-fwd/
@@FordKnowHow cheers!
This version is actually the ST-Line Vignale which has a different front grille, front and rear bumpers which you can't get compared with the regular ST-Line and ST-line X.
i wonder if the No1 Ford Fan may have a bias for a ford puma lol
You'll forgot to sit in the back were the space is nihil.
First thing you do is adjust your seating
The timing belt made of rubber is submerged inside the engine running around with engine oil who thought this idea up and why wasn't he sacked
Hi 125 or 155 ?
We only get the non hybrid 1.0 turbo 3cyl in Aus. 92kw, so that would be 125hp.
Don’t know how you run a black coloured car. It’s hot enough in the UK where it’s not that hot. You must always have air con operating 🥵
But black when its clean looks soooooo good! Yes, but we get you.
This little car with an automatic transmission...
I would only allow manual for this.
dont worry about the 1.0 engine until around 80k
Why ? What happens at 80k?
Try an ev
a new mokka 1.2 will dust it easily just look at the performance figures of each so theres more than a subaru turbo will beat it off the lights fords are made of wheelie bin grade plastic
You do have thousands of pounds of extras though
92kw isn't going to pass anyone.
JA der Ford Buma 👍. Nissan Nein, und so..
It’s NOT a little car 🚗
Annoying music, could do without that
It's overpriced
Sounds like your a chancer on the roads pulling out on traffic that has right of way on you
It looks like Nissan Juke
You need to go to Specsavers! It looks nothing like a Juke!
Looks more like my uncle Juke
Click bait.
It's a puma mate not a ferrari get a life or a room for the both of use
