FORD PUMA 1.7 Millenium 3dr (1999)
The Ford Puma- a practically flawless little car.
I wanted a Ford Ka passionately but I ended up with it's slightly weirder-looking sibling, the Ford Puma, and I must say I absolutely love it! It looks like a puma and it drives like a puma and it even sounds like a puma to my ears so the name is entirely fitting!
The perfomance and handling of the Ford Puma can be summed up in one word - fun. The gear change is strangely satisfying and it can overtake cars which look a lot faster than it. It's also really, really cheap to run With the few problems I've run into since I bought it there have been very low cost and fairly immediate solutions.
It is cheap to buy, cheap to run, reliable, fast, quiet, responsive... I really can't find fault with my Puma and I dread the day that he runs out of steam. However I get the feeling that this may be a long time yet!
