2020 Ford Puma ST-Line X Review | Is It The EcoSport All Over Again???
Two years ago I tested the new Ford EcoSport, a small SUV based on the Fiesta, and to be honest, I was disappointed by it. Roll the clock to the present day, and Ford has released the new Puma, a small SUV based on...the...fiesta....for f*ck's sake Ford, not again.
The question is, is the new Puma able to make up for the shortcomings of the EcoSport, and can it even challenge to be the best car in it class? I explore those areas in this video in which I put the Puma ST-Line through its paces. This in-depth review will go through how it drives, how practical and whether it's worth your money.
The model tested in this video is the sporty ST-Line, which offers more aggressive looks, bigger alloys, and ride height that has been dropped on sports suspension. It's powered by a turbocharged 1.0 litre three cylinder engine that makes use of a mild hybrid system that offers 155hp and 240Nm of torque. This power is mated to the front wheels via a 6-speed manual and the Puma is able to hit 62mph in under 9 seconds, although an ST variant is coming for those of you that want more performance.

    I like the Puma, but the long term reliability of these ecoboost engines is worrying. I have read several reviews of these engines and they can be troublesome. Long term the cambelts ( in oil) are supposed to last 10 years, but I have heard some expensive horror stories of them failing and costing a fortune to replace. All of this is a shame as these cars are great, just wish Ford put more thought in to reliability. Great review as always.

    Great review ,I'm no Ford fan and don't get the love but I do like the Puma . It's exactly what Ford should be doing and let's just forget the awful EcoSport ever existed . I bought a Kamiq though , the Puma just hasn't got enough room in the back and the Kamiq is genuinely a limousine . I have two teenagers and needed the room . The Puma cannot compete with the quality of the Kamiq either . Also why are the performance figures so bad for these Ford's . My kamiq has the DSG and its more economical and performs better . All in all though I don't blame anyone for buying the Puma . It's more overtly Sporting I suppose .

Worst car I have driven in years. 3 cilinder vibrates the steeringwheel, VERY heavy springy steering like its on a rubber band, terrible sportseats made for midgets (they stop halfway the legs and back, terrible), knee hitting the side of the dash, cramped dark interior, interior quality was bad (gaps), digital dash is low resolution and low contrast, very jerky engine and gearbox (automatic). Not going to buy it obviously. KZread reviews were hyping this thing like crazy, but no way is it a good car.

    Over styled pretentious car that does nothing more in reality than a Fiesta. These sort of cars are increasingly being aimed at young buyers who will all get PCP deals to drive the latest trendy car for two or three years, then trade it in for another pointless car on yet another PCP deal. The dealers love young customers. Blindly following fashion and wasting tons of money in the process.
