Would you? Are they good cars if not a little girly (less so than a tigra)?

My mates used to have one and loved it?

its funny you have brought this up.

Im currently on the look out for something to replace the micra, and the puma was top of my list

evo rate them 5/5, they are great to drive, but not hugely quick.

every single review I have read raves about them.

however, ask anyone about them and its a womens car, i've had enough grief for owning a micra.

interior isn't the most modern either

Yeah thinking black is the only way to go

Micra pete I wouldn't be too assed about the label, one of my bosses has got a tt, the other has got a smart car and it'd only really be used for commuting. I'd prefer a 1.4 over the 1.7 for tax

Heard they handle pretty well

Really wanting something like this, but as with this can't get a decent milage one for less than £3.5 really which isn't really pheasable.

Also thinking about 3-series compacts after slating them to MatthewR

Being honest mate, I only know 3 people with Puma's and they are all different ages but they all have rust.

Ford tend to rust alot though, heard of 55 plate Focus's getting rust on the sills etc.

I would prefer a Puma over a Tigra tbh, even being a Vaux fan.

The only acceptable BMW Compacts which anyone should drive are the 'E46' 325ti's

Puma FTW

1.7 if funds allow, they are significantly swifter

Deano £2000ish

I don't mind that shape only cos they have a proper engine in some of them (i.e. that one)
