We've done it boys, 2020, removing a spare wheel and calling the space left storage counts as inovative design.

[johnagnew]

They have substituted a spare tyre with a hole in the practical.

Never bought a car before but this ticks all the boxes for me loved the original puma as a kid.

Have the first edition x 155 and what a great car it is and it shifts for a 1-litre car. Had fast cars in the past, Subarus UK version and a Japanese import that did 0-60 in lower 4 seconds and it was great fun. However (maybe an age thing) but this is the best car I have driven. Leather/cloth bucket seats which is very comfortable and the Bang and Olufsen sound system well you can't get any better.

Took a test drive earlier in the year of one from the local Ford Dealership and was amazed by it's nippy performance from such a small engine (which is aided by the 48V electric motor), practicality and ease to drive - even for a small person like myself as steering wheel/seat is fully adjustable! Not bothered about the lack of rear seat space as I will only be carrying one rear seat passenger, which will be my mother when I take my elderly parents on trips out. Got a Puma ST-Line on order to replace my 2017 KA+ (which has served me well over the last 5 years but the lack of boot space and the lack of power on hill climbs was the reason to go for the Puma for my next new car) and should receive it by Christmas 2022!

The thing that I just can't get over is the name. Th Original puma was a fun litte coupe, and now this

[decnijfkris]

Not bad. I like the line, the colors, the 125HP engine, the sunroof, the stock rims. Nice fine car.

That boot box isn't a trick. The real trick is "Where did they hide the spare wheel?

[qtredhead]

I’ve had my Vignale 155bhp for 6 weeks & it’s the best car I’ve owned. Previously owned a 1.6 Zetec S Fiesta & this tops that. Incredibly comfortable and easy to drive. I think it looks fantastic too - I’ve got 19” wheels as an option …
Not too bothered about lack of space in the back as I rarely have passengers in the back. The boot is one of my favourite things as you have carry a lot of stuff in it and it doesn’t roll around and back a noise as it would in a standard boot

[dannysmith]

Ordered one yesterday for the wife ST Line X First addition Plus 155bhp

how the hell on Jan 14th 2020 you can announce Car of the Year?

[mateipopa]

my man just put an iphone 5s on a wireless charger...

[gammagear]

Its a great looking car. I fell in love with the look when i saw it.

I've spent last month searching for a small car for my family. I had my test drive yesterday. So far THE BEST of the smallest crossovers. great boot space and configuration! lot of space in the back... places for kids water bottles (yes, it's not obvious). front and rear parking sensors, great camera (yes, both are also not so obvious). two weak points: it's noisy (but unlike Kamiq, it's engine noise, not a body noise, so MAYBE some additional work under the bonnet with some mats could solve the problem), you got everything on the steering weel, so buttons are really small. SMALL.
You don't have armrest at the back? you are correct, but at least you have a space for a water bottle in the door pockets (unlike Kamiq).
This is the only small crossover that I enjoyed to drive with my family. We are just waiting for automatic transmission in the mid of 2020.


Oh BTW, the doors cover the entire side of the car. THANK YOU FORD!

[steveb]

It looks a good looking little car, however, as a former Puma owner, I wish they'd called it something else...

[Rob-rgix]

Its not An suv its a high hatchback. Just like 75% off “suv’s”

[patrickmitchell]

Went into my local vw garage, drove t rock drove chr the golf and was nearly going home with my bmw 520, when the salesman said try the puma I just got in, I loved it, they drive like a big car so by bye 520 d , hi to puma stx the bmw wasn’t good constantly at the very poor bmw dealers in Athlone Ireland .saying that bmw Ireland were fantastic only let down by a poor dealership management .avoid like the plague, I’ve had 4 bmw 520 d and the best was a 2014, hope the puma will be better

[wayneheyes]

When the automatic comes in June I hope they don’t make it to expensive! Having it around £25K for a basic auto will put it out of the range of many buyers

[BFGUN]

7:27 This is the one I bought. Got a very good deal on it.

[Wildmutationblu]

This is a great, fantastic in depth review. Thank you so much for making this video.
