2020 Ford Puma ST-Line X Review | Is It The EcoSport All Over Again???
Two years ago I tested the new Ford EcoSport, a small SUV based on the Fiesta, and to be honest, I was disappointed by it. Roll the clock to the present day, and Ford has released the new Puma, a small SUV based on...the...fiesta....for f*ck's sake Ford, not again.
The question is, is the new Puma able to make up for the shortcomings of the EcoSport, and can it even challenge to be the best car in it class? I explore those areas in this video in which I put the Puma ST-Line through its paces. This in-depth review will go through how it drives, how practical and whether it's worth your money.
The model tested in this video is the sporty ST-Line, which offers more aggressive looks, bigger alloys, and ride height that has been dropped on sports suspension. It's powered by a turbocharged 1.0 litre three cylinder engine that makes use of a mild hybrid system that offers 155hp and 240Nm of torque. This power is mated to the front wheels via a 6-speed manual and the Puma is able to hit 62mph in under 9 seconds, although an ST variant is coming for those of you that want more performance.

Good evening everyone, thank you for watching my review of the new Ford Puma - what do you think of the new car? Let me know in the comments section.

@denniss2474 3 года назад

The Puma is easily the best car of 2021. Excellent combination of great design, performance and fuel ecomony. Looks great :)

@CarObsession 3 года назад

Yes, it's a very good car, thanks for watching Dennis 👍🏽.

@phil8437 3 года назад

I like the Puma, but the long term reliability of these ecoboost engines is worrying. I have read several reviews of these engines and they can be troublesome. Long term the cambelts ( in oil) are supposed to last 10 years, but I have heard some expensive horror stories of them failing and costing a fortune to replace. All of this is a shame as these cars are great, just wish Ford put more thought in to reliability. Great review as always.

Hi Phil, thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment.

Most of the time from my experience, it is due to the end user using dodgy supermarket fuel and not opting for premium solutions like Momentum or V Power

@steeldevil98 3 года назад

@@PocketRockets rubbish! Trouble revolves around the block being made of chocolate which warps and twists so the head gasket can't do its job.

@PocketRockets 3 года назад

@@steeldevil98 No it's not rubbish! It's a common issue where you get carbon build up due to lesser fuels not being as clean for higher mileage examples I didn't say it was the only issue so pipe down!

@steeldevil98 3 года назад

@@PocketRockets these shitty engines are designed to run on 95 ron fuel. Carbon build up is due to direct injection instead of port injection. Do yourself a favour and stay away from Ford.

@keesketsers5866 10 месяцев назад

Was going to buy it, test drove it today before making a deal. Worst car I have driven in years. 3 cilinder vibrates the steeringwheel, VERY heavy springy steering like its on a rubber band, terrible sportseats made for midgets (they stop halfway the legs and back, terrible), knee hitting the side of the dash, cramped dark interior, interior quality was bad (gaps), digital dash is low resolution and low contrast, very jerky engine and gearbox (automatic). Not going to buy it obviously. RU-vid reviews were hyping this thing like crazy, but no way is it a good car.

That is not a st line x model as it has a glass roof and 19 wheels so it must be a vignale model I’ve just ordered one st line x

@CarObsession 7 месяцев назад

Hi there, thanks for watching. This is the ST Line X, it's not the Vignale. The Vignale has different styling both inside and out, and doesn't have ST Line badges as this car has. It's been a long time since I reviewed this particular car, but I'd be confident in saying the features you are referring to would have been optional extras.

@joe80ss 3 года назад

Much better than the eco sport but rear space is pathetic. No point calling it small SUV. The fiesta is better can't see the appeal of this over the fiesta. Not even that tall. The kamiq is more practical and the TCross is taller.

@roninesce8362 3 года назад

Call it cross over, what is the issue Joe. It’s just a stupid name for press and potential customers. Who gives a toss about what segment this car belongs to. If you like it- you buy it, simple as

@joe80ss 3 года назад

@@roninesce8362 just can't see the necessity for it. Other crossovers more practical just wait until the Toyota yaris cross comes out, it will blow the competition away. At the moment I reckon the T cross and The kamiq makes more sense. If you are going for style (i use that word loosely) over substance then the Nissan juke would be the one. I prefer the fiesta over this though.

@CarObsession 3 года назад

Hi Joe, thanks for watching. I'll be honest, I'd say the Puma offers more legroom and knee room compared to a Fiesta, although it's not exactly night and day.

Great review ,I'm no Ford fan and don't get the love but I do like the Puma . It's exactly what Ford should be doing and let's just forget the awful EcoSport ever existed . I bought a Kamiq though , the Puma just hasn't got enough room in the back and the Kamiq is genuinely a limousine . I have two teenagers and needed the room . The Puma cannot compete with the quality of the Kamiq either . Also why are the performance figures so bad for these Ford's . My kamiq has the DSG and its more economical and performs better . All in all though I don't blame anyone for buying the Puma . It's more overtly Sporting I suppose .

@oddities-whatnot 3 года назад

Over styled pretentious car that does nothing more in reality than a Fiesta. These sort of cars are increasingly being aimed at young buyers who will all get PCP deals to drive the latest trendy car for two or three years, then trade it in for another pointless car on yet another PCP deal. The dealers love young customers. Blindly following fashion and wasting tons of money in the process.
