i reckon if this wasnt released before and that was released this year, with a modern dash etc and some of the mechanicals modernised, but the exact same shell and design people would go mad for it

If it was release now, it would be competing with 182 clios and corsa VXRs. Both with decent power.

Puma hasnt much more power than a Corsa b GSi

It would basically be the latest Fiesta in a different body. Good car but underpowered.

these days cars are massive, the solution is to just give them more power.

makes them large and distant to drive, bet my puma is more fun to drive then a corsa vxr even though its slower in a straight line

That all those cars Jambo posted would destroy a Ford Puma and still be as much fun, if not more to drive.

I'm not the biggest VXR fan but I'm 99% certain I would have more fun driving one than a Puma.

Driven my Mums Puma enough to know. It is fun but my Mini is more fun again. Steering feels better in the Mini too.

Your Puma isn't standard.
