Yeh with you 100%. I now am the proud owner of the ST and an ex mini cooper S 2018 owner. Very very impressed with all aspects of the car and the handling and ride are very similar to be honest. Lovely sound to the engine and more room. Perfect.

Think you’re wrong regarding the boot, it was one of the main reasons for ordering a Puma, I don’t like parcel shelves and so the way it raises out of the way is brilliant plus a super amount of storage space with a clever boot floor arrangement whereby it stays in place while accessing the contents so definitely a winning design for me….can’t wait for delivery of mine 👍

Totally agree …

All good here, new addition to household keeping us up late at night, a pup!!!

Having started out with Fords at the start of my car ownership, I've always had a soft spot for them. This looks like a lot of fun and love that colour.

I really enjoyed this, have watched it a couple of times now. I used to have a Focus ST which I absolutely loved and is still to date my favourite car. I then traded it for a Kuga and then a Jaguar E-Pace, both decent SUVs but not very exciting to drive so definitely thinking of looking at one of these for my next car. Great stuff, love the enthusiasm!

I've seen one that's been completely murdered out, and wrapped matt black, it looked absolutely ridiculous, but so cool, so cool infact, i followed it for a while. Really really cool looking little car i think

Enjoyed that. Cooped up in Paris all my drives these days are vicarious ones

Another great review! For me you hit the nail on the head with your comments regarding your ability to exploit the cars power and potential without hitting ridiculous speeds. I've an Alpina B4s and if I take it out for a fun drive, I'm constantly having to check my speed as a few seconds of throttle and I'm breaking the national speed limit. Similarly in the twisties, pushing the car to the point where it comes alive and I feel like I'm driving it, and again I quickly find myself having to ease off or I'd be breaking the limits and by some margin. Maybe I should have bought a JCW.....

Great review again.Have to agree on the parcel shelf,it looks like they won it in a lucky dip.

Fantastic video and review Peter. I totally love the new Puma and I’ve seen some in very nice colours that really suit it. This ST seems fantastic, what a car, sounds great too 😉👌🏻

Friend of the family had one of the original top if the range original Pumas and it looked and sounded epic! Drove his Cougar he had also! Nice little car that new Puma. Smiles for miles!

I've ordered a Puma ST in blue just this week. 3 months delivery time. Just in time for the summer! ^^

I very nearly bought an original Puma back in the day and regret that. I'm loving this version. Give it a couple of years when they're on the used market and you never know. 😍

I hate myself for saying it, but I quite like the look of these.

Really cool to see this very well done review Sir Pete. We don’t get the puma in the states but we do get the new bronco sport and bronco full size. The bronco sport badlands really has my attention. The bronco sport comes with a 3 cylinder engine option to or a 4 cylinder eco boost with 250hp. That green color was very cool.

Good evening all. I must admit being a Ford fan boy ( I currently own MK8 FIESTA ST, MK4 FOCUS ST & 155BHP PUMA) I am looking forward to this review as its on my list lol. Frozen white for me to match the Fiesta & Focus. Our Puma is in Magnetic & I have to say the parcel shelf has worked very well for the last 5 months & no issues. Brilliant honest review, thank you.

i actually had a puma st line for a courtesy car while my focus was in the dealership and omg it was an absolute blast and the sound was amazing 5 stars for the puma. yes you was having fun

A friend of mine had an original Puma 1.7 and spent a lot of time in that car so looking forward to compare my memory of that against the ST line

Hi Pete, I enjoyed your review and you answered the main reservation I had about ordering one ..... the seats. I’ve sat in them for 10 minutes in the showroom.... for me, agony! However I like the Puma and wanted the versatility of 5 doors. I now have a brand new Puma ST Line X Vignale, with the 155bhp engine. I chose this for a number of reasons. Most of the extras on your car are standard. Headlights, comfort pack, B&O even the Magnetic paint is cheaper. The seats - full leather - are really comfortable and as most of my drive is motorway it ticks all boxes. I noticed a slight lag on your video.... the hybrid takes care of that on my car. Also the boot floor goes lower than you showed, in addition to mega box, it’s huge. I am really impressed with mine, just ran it in, averaging 48mpg. Just my thoughts.... hope you don’t mind. Cheers 👍

Well the price😂😂 Takes me back to my Escort Mexico, which was a special order in that identical Green hue. Ack in those days I wan not concerned about being noticed.😏😏👮‍♀️

Puma is easily one of the best looking small cars out there at the moment, and I love the colour - reminds me of the green the X1/9 was released with.

Puma is growing on me now maybe next time bit out my price range should be getting a go in a puma st in the summer. Got my st 2 5 door with performance pack now and Its amazing engine great fun to drive still running it in atm but it's still fast already. Great vid this one

Absolutely delighted to know that it comes with a sunroof.

Great review Pete as am seriously considering one of these I know that road well is great fun very early in the morning - just look out for deer,😀

Collected my Fiesta ST Edition only two weeks ago, and I totally agree with your opinion on the 1.5L three pot, it's just full of character, and I also owned the Puma 1.7 many years which I also loved for it's entertaining drive. Although I can't help but think that Ford missed a trick in not turning the Fiesta ST into a small coupe like they did with the original Puma. Great car none the less.

Great review. Now I've got to go and review the Quaife. Why oh why do they get things wrong like the parcel shelf, lazy design. Keep it up Pedro, this review is exactly the reason I watch you channnel

Ford (option list). Front seats (Comfort or Sport seats) A lot of middle aged drivers, have middle - aged spread ! Steering wheel (Alcantara) The steering wheel is very important. The Eco button is a great idea. Ford are 80% there.Great review.

I had an original puma , which is still going in my town, and i loved it. Great handling and special 1.7 engine, part yamaha. The brakes were poor and i shouldve done something with the exhaust but i often wondered when ford would bring out another. I expected a coupe but i suppose they are out of fashion and crossovers are in. If it had to be a crossover, then this is pretty good. I like it.

Always loved the styling of the original. Not sure on this bt then I'm not so much of a crossover fan. Glad it still has character, I never managed to drive the puma, but there was one on the drive of the house over the road from me for about 2 years. I loved just looking at it.

I’ve never experienced a Q diff. I remember your factory visit. Hubnut also says the same, sometimes less power is more. The utilisation of engine gives you a fun drive. Looks a fun car indeed, I’m on the same page as you regarding coatings. I know 5k isn’t a huge amount, however, that will always work better in your pocket than someone else’s bank account. Can’t see the seat bolsters lasting too much, bit of a weakness in the ole Xr3i and ‘eccy’ RS Turbo. They went tired on higher used cars, ahh, retro memories lol.

Ford Puma was from an age when Ford made some interesting cars

thanks for another fine review, like others i would like to understand the different experience between the fiesta and puma..apart from the slightly larger packaging. I have seen one or two about and the do look very convincing.

Love the car, great video! You definitely sold it to me especially being a Ford nut but unfortunately a bit out of my price range, maybe one day 🤞

Fair comment. Lots of choice out there for £35k.....It seems steep for a Ford. If an SUV is a priority there is the VW T Roc, although that is a bit plasticky inside. My personal choice might be the Skoda Karoq. Better interior than the VW ( both in terms of quality and appearance), plus allegedly nicer to drive and more practical for family use...... There are also the Hyundai and Kia offerings, but they're a bit....er... Korean. Good warranties and reliable though, if that's a plus for you. I do wonder about the wisdom of spending £35k on a petrol car now though, with electric likely to take-off big style in the next couple of years. I was recently speaking to a mate of mine whose brother is a sales guy at a Peugeot dealer, and he said that when Peugeot re-hash the 208, 2008 and 308 ranges in the next couple of years, there will be NO i.c. options offered anymore, as the full 208/308 range will be 100% electric..... Might other car makers be looking to do similar I wonder? The car market is very much trend driven these days, and a pricey petrol car may not be such a good buy if the residuals take a huge hit.....

Great review I've had 2 original Pumas in the past and love them but was upset the new one was a crossover. I must say the ST does look good in mean green sounds like an excellent car if you can live with the small passenger space but does seem overpriced vs a focus ST

My Mrs loves these, but I expected more room wise to think of it as a family car contender. I think the LSD as it’s an ST should come as standard. The pilot 4S tyres and that LSD make a great combo. Great review as always 👍🏻

Just caught up with this one. Even pleased to hear you liked the Yeti of which I also did. The review was very comprehensive as usual, it is interesting to hear of some of the points you like, pan roof and don’t like, infotainment screen, both of which I have the opposite opinion. I must be one of the few who didn’t like the jittery, understeering original coupe model. The quality shows through and I will be ordering an ST Line X auto with a couple of packs. Don’t need the driving fun as the R53 caters for that.

Heated seats and steering wheel along with the B&O sound system are all standard.

Great video Peter, I wasn't sure about the new Puma when it was first released however I must admit it's growing on me! A shame that it's so expensive of course... Ford do seem to have upped their game across the board in recent years, and whilst the interiors are often a bit of a let-down, the way they make a car handle and feel takes some beating imo. They've been doing that for years, my Mk2 RS is a classic example of that, and after nearly 9 years of ownership, I absolutely love it!

I am forever on the lookout for a replacement for the JCW. When the time comes I might have just found its replacement. I had been thinking of another Fiesta ST it was so good to drive but firm and very basic inside. The Puma I think gives me another slightly more practical option and I can get a tow bar and an LSD. Not ready to part with the Mini yet and had thought our "fun" car replacement would be Electric or PHEV at least.

What's also worth mentioning is the absolute bonkers discount policy of Ford dealerships. We bought in June 2020 (from stock) a Puma StLine-X (125bhp MHEV and a ton of optional features - LEDs, B&O sound, lane assist, collision alert, fatigue alert, traffic signs alert, leather seats, heated steering wheel, mirrors, seats, windscreen, blahblahblah): starting price - 27000 EURO, VAT included; price after dealer discount - 21500 EUR (yeah, nuts!); price after Government subsidy (about 1800 EUR, because it's a mild hybrid) - 19700 EUR; price after trade in of a 2012 Ford B-Max - 14900 EUR, VAT included. Even if they hadn't accepted my old B-Max as a trade-in, 19700 EUR is still a good price for a car that looks, drives and feels the way it does. Rumour has it, the ST will cost in my country (Romania, where it is also being built) about 28000 EUR, full-spec, after Dealer discounts and Government hybrid subsidy. That is an absolute bang for your buck! But yeah, that parcel shelf is absolute shit. It's like Ford engineers thought to themselves: "we'll make it 95% modern Ford and 5% '70 British Leyland". Funny enough, they put the same type of parcel shelf on the Mustng Mach-E. Idiots.
