Ford Puma 2021 Review | Mark Nichol | A Small Crossover Really Shouldn't Be This Much Fun To Drive! 

Wife’s got one and it’s MINT!!, Fun to drive, practical, and that b&o stereo is as mark said BANGING! Keep up the good work best reviews going

Test drove one of these last week (ST line X 155) and really enjoyed chucking it about. Placed order the same day.

"It's a stick you don't mind playing with again and again". What a review !!

Ordered my new 'ford puma 1.0 ecoboost hybrid mhev 155 st-line vignale 5dr dct' in solar silver today 😍 Been given 6 to 7 months on the build time! Welp hopefully it's ready by then as I can't wait after watching all these reviews 🤔

Excellent review - you’re wasted at Vanarama, Mark!! Thanks for the information, humour and honesty.

Excellent entertaining and informative,thanks John

It definitely looks better in the flesh.

I have one criticism, Not enough "moist box" mentions haha. Brilliant, keep up the good work.

Great review skipper. The drole geordie wit complements your subject matter knowledge brilliantly 👍👍

Great review Mark and a great car by the looks and sounds of it! Seeing quite a few around now so they must be doing quite well.

Best review I have seen. I bought the ST-line X, and hopefully I can pick it up this monday. I am so excited!

Spot on about driving at 30 and 3/4 gear, I thought that was just me lol

Mark your back ! I didn't know you'd moved. Just subscribed. I'd missed your reviews. 😀

Another great review with good humor.

I always drive my wife’s mini ‘calmly’ too

My Xmas present delivered snail pace (the review that is), cheers happy Christmas! IRL looks stunning in dessert awesome blue

LOLLING at the Dagenham boot man !!! Love your reviews

Mark doesn't lie, Vanarama seem to be the cheapest at the moment on leasing a puma!!

Thanks for your review North Eastern man. Was at the Ford main dealer the other day - not expecting that much - and had my head turned at the sight of a Puma's derriere ( that's French for bottom/rear end). It was the above model with 19" alloys in a flat grey. I get the bodywork and the sporty chassis and the engine and all that - but the bottom line, for me, is that it's a slightly jacked up Ford Fiesta which is not big enough to accomodate my 6'2" frame. I was banned, by my Daughter, for going for a Fiesta for the reason of ease of ingress . One other major factor is that it doesn't come with, and there is no space for a spare tyre; seriously, who would be caught on of our motorways , or any where for that matter, with no spare. Going to pick up my VW T Roc this Monday. Loads more money than the Puma, with a DSG, in the most delicious pearl silver (with a black roof) and an unused spare tyre. Ingress and egress, not as good as a Touran - but better than the Puma. One thing is North Eastern man - you really must work on that Micheal Caine cockney accent. Walk into any East end boozer and you would be found out in a matter of seconds

Ahh, Mr Nicol is here...I did wonder, honestly. An excellent review of Ford's pocket Porsche Cayenne, in looks (but better).

Can’t get this quality anywhere else. Absolutely brilliant - thanks G-J!

Mega

Awesome review Mark, just like all your video reviews. I’m trying to find the best vehicle to buy or lease for my Mrs. she’d like all the bells and whistles, leather interior, auto box, memory seats, adaptive cruise etc. Any make as long as it’s reliable, decent fuel returns and kitted out. Thanks for all your reviews.

Just come across this channel. Cross between Honest John & OSV.

Any thoughts on the 1.5L diesel engine?

Bloody good review again. I think it’s fugly as hell, especially it’s gawping gob, but the biggest problem is how high the load lip is for the boot. Gotta be 6-8 inches higher than some competitors the doggo says no! I’m also driving around in a hired Focus at the mo & I get your point about the infotainment, it’s not very good. It’ll have to keep its moistness for someone else.

I'm sure it will sell well in the UK, because...well, the UK loves Fords. But in the EU Ford dealerships are facing difficulties clearing their pre-COVID-19 stocks, while other manufacturers are busy introducing waiting lists (the Yaris Cross is virtually unavailable, but finding a Mazda CX-3 is no easy feat either). The blue oval just doesn't shines as well in European eyes, no matter how practical it looks.

'Moist box' and 'melange' in the same car review! Gotta be an industry first?

"Welly washer" being mispronounced in the proximity of a moist box, no?

So question is why wouldn’t you just buy a Focus.

These can get quite pricey. If my memory serves me right the 200PS souped up version can hit £30K.... Yaris GR money.

Your English is good. I hear some accent. What accent do you have?

Is that all you do in your car rock it about with a large juice bottle !! 🤣

This isn't a commercial vehicle despite it's megabox! It's a family car or a car for couples or singletons with friends or doggies 🐕 🐾 🇬🇧

Seems odd still to reference Ford and Dagenham, they haven’t made a car in Britain for ages... this one’s from Croatia I think.

I’m glad I choose the CHR just think the Ford feels very cheap

Making such a fuss about the "Megabox" when all they've done is lose you the spare wheel! That box is really going to be useful when you get a puncture, the tyre gets shredded you're stuck on the hard shoulder in the rain, the AA or RAC are 3 hours away and all you've got in the boot is a box of muddy wellies. 😮

The Puma is a great car. I agree about the Citroen, its a nasty, vile, almost evil thing. Its offensively ugly, and its horrible to drive, woolly, vague, floaty but worse, not even that comfortable. The biggest sin though is the touch screen controls for everything.

Did you really use the word “capacious”??? 😃

moist box.........when bbc comes to visit way to often

This puma is old fashioned on the inside. Not worth the money

Saw one on the road - it looks ridiculous ... I mean really stupid looking. And the windows are soooo shallow, it's a wonder drivers can see out!! It's a 'no' from me.
