Is 2022 Ford Puma ST Line V Worth the Money: full review
Ford Puma isn’t cheap so does it rate the bucks?
Full Review: gaycarboys.com/is-2022-ford-p...
There was a lot of too-ing and fro-ing as to whether Puma would make it to Australia. It did, and isn’t it a little sweetie? The 3-model range of Puma, ST Line and ST Line V is fairly well equipped.
It’s all cutsie-pie on the outside with an adorable little face, and a pert rump. They’ve followed this modern trend of turning a baby hatch into a baby SUV by pumping it up on steroids. Ford has all but abandoned the little-lamented passenger car market, and joins many other car makers in having a mainly-SUV stable. The only passenger cars left are the performance versions: Focus ST, Fiesta ST, and Mustang.
Puma follows Fiesta’s lilliputian proportions: 4,186-4,207 mm L x 1,805 mm W x 1,548-1,552 mm H, albeit a little taller. The 2588mm wheelbase isn’t going to make it a family machine but there is more than enough space for a trendy couple wanting something a bit different.
The on-road price of $39,891 (NSW) doesn’t include our options of Sunroof $2,000, Grey Matter paint with black roof $1,150, and Park Pack $900. This takes the final DRIVE AWAY price $44,157 in New South Wales.
The Exterior:
“Fixed Signature LED Headlamps” have an odd ovoid shape reminiscent of Fords of the 90’s. LED DTRLs carve a couple of lines through the array, but don’t instantly say, “Hi, make way. Ford coming through.”
Similarly, the tail lights have a complex shape. The low volume SUV has a certain mystique owning to its relative rarity. Ford shifted 137 units for the first 2 months of 2022 verses 441 for the same time last year. That’s a shame because it deserves more.
Overall, the gym-fit Puma is cute, cheeky, and is best considered a high-riding hatch rather than an SUV in the true sense.

Great video and love your reviews. Can’t wait for my new Puma. With the world shortage of semi-Conductor parts and coming out of COVID. I’ve been waiting almost nine months for my factory build white ST-line X (155bhp) with full LED headlights, the driver assistance pack and panoramic roof. But hope to have it in next month or two.

make sure you take it for a decent drive too. don't let them talk you in to a spin around the block.
The Puma sounds like a really good car and a great alternative to many of the other dull SUVs blighting our roads. Ford has a gift with making things nice to drive. I would like to have heard you say whether the DCT issues have been resolved or not.

the issues were with dry sump models, which all of the smaller cars seem to have. I haven't heard of any recent problems but can't say if they're actually resolved or not.
Top review; I was interested as one of our cars is a VW T Cross R-Line which has a very similar spec. The Ford has a better interior finish and the VW has slightly more torque. No sunroof on the VW. Not much between them but, as a class of car they are all most people need. Great around town and excellent for long road trips. A great little Ford all rounder.

as a runaround, they're great. you're right about interior finish though both ford and vw have lots of scratchy plastic
Very good review of this car. Did it come with those dash cameras or you put them there on your own?

Is this standard on the new models ? I read it’s an optional extra like the hands free tailgate ??

Is what standard? We tested the EPIQ, which is all standard as shown. FYI the smart tailgate was already standard on the 2022 Australian models, all of them. Features may vary in different markets.

All those hours spent teaching my daughters to reverse park and then they bring out this. But then you won’t be able to use this clever system to pass your test so time not wasted after all. If Ford wonders why they don’t sell more of this natty little car they need just to look at the price. Shock!

According to spec sheet all models have a space saver spare, you can see this @2:43 , the outline of the space saver is visible on the floor cover. meanwhile according to CarExpert, "The Puma does require 95RON fuel, which is fairly typical of today’s small-capacity turbocharged engines." So no to 91RON.
Looks a decent traffic car, good for shopping, a bit light on power for distance cruising I suspect. I wonder why they haven’t brought in an electric version? A bit too swoopy in shape for my liking, cute maybe but the external design doesn’t appeal to me very much. It does appear sensibly and well designed internally. Sure is wet there! I think Ford are asking a bit too many $ for this car.

there might be a mild hybrid coming, so there's that. Nice to drive but i think it will appeal. I think its price is the main reason they sell so few of them. i didn't ask, but i assume supply issues are a problem too, like it is for everyone else

Yes, supplies of new cars are slowed at present. Like most cars now the Puma appears very capable. Just not right for where I live I’m afraid.
