Great review! Very well done! I’ve had my ST Line X for just over a year now and absolutely love it! I’ve generally had sports cars and coupes over the years but had to get something more practical as we got a dog and needed a lot more room to get my son and all his stuff to Uni. It’s proved perfect for all of those duties and more. All the weekly shop fits into the mega box with ease. As mentioned, the engine is incredible for a three cylinder one litre - it feels and drives like an 1800. I went for desert island blue with the same 19 inch alloys featured on your demo model. Also specced it with parking camera and the panoramic roof. 👍🙂🚙

This is a fantastic, professionally made video with lots of camera angles. Great Video.

The Ford Puma a superb car, we've had the pleasure of having one in already. Bears little resemblance to the original, save for some design cues, it's just an iconic name.

@DamoDrives

3 жыл бұрын

It is a really good car and for me the ST would be the best choice. You are right Ford have used an iconic name to get some interest in the car in some ways it should have had a new name but if you have some kudos in the name use it 😂. I suspect most buyers of this version will know or care very little about the original

Great idea with the shopping bags, much more useful than seeing you climb in the back or even see how many carry on bags will fit like other reviewers do 👍

@@DamoDrives Hi. Yes I nearly got the original puma back when it came out because of having a family it wasn't practical. Now it's just me and the Mr's so definitely going to get one. I currently have the ford EcoSport ST line with all the upgrades on it but it's not what I call expecting to drive. So hopefully in the next few weeks I will be changing to the puma. Reviews say the MHEV is really good when it kicks in with stop start. Anyway thank you for the review one of the best I've watched and I appreciate the hard work putting the video together as I'm a photographer I understand what goes in to making these videos. Cheers buddy 👍👍

Great review thanks! I owned the original Puma (1.6 version) back in the 90s and it was a great little car, although the ride was very stiff. I'm 3 years into ownership of the second gen Puma (ST Line model) and it has been a really fun car to own and drive too. Not without its faults though, one of my diamond cut alloys are starting to corrode quite badly. My car also goes into deep sleep mode a lot complaining about the battery even though I drive 100km a day during the week! The interior rattles a bit, think it is the front passenger seatbelt housing and there is a clunk noise going over road bumps coming from the front of the car - I think something around the bumper is slightly loose. They need to sort out these minor QC problems at the factory. I've just ordered another, a black ST line X model and looking forward to all the little upgrades over my existing car.

Great review cheers, lovely car, is that colour lucid red or fantastic red 🤔

Good review Sir. The world is predominantly mad for SUVs of every size and shape and this is another to add to the array of choices that already exist. Personally, I still like a conventional car. I hear that even my Clubman won’t make the next generation MINI which means I’ll be forced into an SUV Countryman if I remain brand loyal. I’ve not been a fan of those to date, despite your glowing reviews Damian.

@DamoDrives

Thanks Darren lovely comments as usual 😊. Everyone wants an suv of some sort so I guess the manufactures give the buyers more and more SUVs. I have mixed feelings about SUVs they are big and comfortable and the sort of car that is good for just cruising around in and if it’s sporty have some fun but a more traditional car is going to be a better drivers car as it’s lower, less weight. I have a feeling that’s not every car and a bit of a generalisation though
