I’ve had a Puma Titanium 1st Edition for 6 months. 125 hp. I’ve put 3000 miles onto it including a good swing around the North Coast 500. My previous car was a BMW 3 series 3 litre xDrive Estate. For the money this car is totally amazing. Comfortable and very well kitted out ; indeed it lacks for nothing. The boot plus mega box is more than ample and with the seats down it accommodates pretty much everything you need to go the dump. Rear legroom Isn’t the best but it’s adequate for pottering around town. But for two persons it’s perfect. The seats are very good, heated with a massage function. The media system is very good and better than my 2015 BMW. I really struggle to find fault with it but maybe there’s a bit too much hard plastic about and with city driving I’m maybe getting 35 mpg ( on the 500 we averaged high 40s easily). This is my first ever Ford and it’s been a revelation.
How are you getting on with your 125? Im looking at a 125 titanium at the moment,I worry about lack of power when it came to hills and carrying passengers
@@alistairvenning7329 Have a look at the engine Torque figures, the 155 bhp has a torque from memory of 240 nm but I'm assuming this includes the electric motor kicking in, both the 125 & 155 have a bigger turbo than the non mild hybrid engine which has a torque of 170 nm, so if you deplete your battery the torque figures drop, and to what level I don't know but I assume not less than 170 nm.
@@OsvUkVehicleSupply well I looked at a lot of reviews on TH-cam etc & they said the model that was the best value for money with a good spec. Was the st line x. And I really liked the way it looked in the desert island blue. Not so keen on some of the other colours. But this colour looks amazing. I've noticed a few heads turn to look at it to. Lovely car so far.
I got the 155BHP last July in Desert Island Blue First Edition goes like a rocket in Sports Mode, still love it, will be keeping this until a better Puma arrives - Like the Mean Green too
We got ours in may. A 125hp titanium x first edition in metropolitan white. We're really happy with the car. More then enough power and spacious enough for our smal family. And we love the deep booth.
@@ivancosmin6556 yeah and i stil think it's the best car to drive for this price in this segment, nimble, direct, not the most comfortable car but comfortable enough but more sportive and direct car to drive and it's not to large so it's stil pretty easy to park. I tried out both the ST and the Titanium but i feel the ST is a bit to stiff. The booth is great thx to that mega box and it's easy to clean. We're making about 6,2l/100km after 8 months. My fiesta does 5.9l/100km after 5 years. So it's not bad. The interior is nice and everything works pretty well. The B&O system sounds nice too, the connection to phone works fine. And ofcourse roadtax is low for a car like this thx to the small engine so all and all a very nice and smart car to buy. Any more questions, just ask 😁
Nice car but a worry about the longevity of Ecoboost engines with their wet timing belts, which are arguably supposed to last 10 years and cost a fortune to replace.
Just got a brand new 155 puma and I love it … it’s staggering what a 1.0L engine can do … I’ve really battered this car and it loves it … also the stereo kicks arse
@@OsvUkVehicleSupply it’s the 155 st-line x in white … I had a 68 plate kuga 1.5 diesel st line and loved the way you sit in it but I hated the car .. slow and really under powered … I had a puma 125 as a courtesy car and loved it so we opted for the 155 … if I drive this car sensible it’s far better on fuel than the kuga .. but to be fair it’s been in sports mode a lot
Cant wait to get one myself,cant decide between the 125 and rhe 155,I so like the titanium,just not in my price range as yet,£20000 is the most I can run to maximum

We're buying a Mid-Spec ST-Line, and after some discussion on what would be better. The spare wheel is likely to be more suitable. Fortunately the engine even without hybrid is still very efficient. I'm in Australia also - are you buying one?
It's so funny that now this puma is being "compared" to the porsche, because the original puma in Portugal used to be called "O Porsche da pixoleira" at least where I came from, meaning the Porsche of the poor
Love your reviews. Nice and precise and with no mucking about. My only criticism would be the comparison with the Kamiq and T-Roc which I feel are in the class above. The T-Cross may be a fairer comparison.
They are all pointless fashion crap as well. Whats the obsession with a car thats raised up, doesn't have AWD and has no more practicality than a normal hatchback ? I love all the reasons people (mainly women) get these sort of cars, and its all bollocks. Oo look I can see the road better with the high up driving position. Look love, I could see the road perfectly well in my Audi TT. Oo I can fit lots in the back. You can fit about the same amount of stuff in a Focus. Oo it will cope better in bad weather. Why ? Its not AWD and since when do you need a raised ride height on the roads ? Youre not climbing over rocks !
I am a woman. I chose, bought and paid for my Puma myself. Alas Puma died. I would definitely buy another that performed and looked like the original one. A good secondhand one would be preferable to this imposter that's been let loose. Cross-overs aren't one thing or another. This one is ugly.
I just don't like their interiors, for ages they were outdated looking and now they have finally decided to update the interior it looks dated and basic compared to other cars worse still...they shove the same interior into all their cars
marklola12 yes its weird how we waited for years for Fords to update the interiors, and now they already look dated. A sea of grey bland plastics with that awful oversized tablet stuck on the dashboard. The Focus ST in orange looks fantastic, but the interior is just the standard Focus interior, nothing special. You think Ford would have put fancy trim in it.
Im not a fan of these jacked up, not a hatchback, not an estate car, whats a crossover when its at home ? Its NOT got AWD, its NOT designed to go off road so it doesn't crossover into anything. Its a raised up hatchback, has no more practicality than a Focus. Style over substance. Oh hang on, he says its in the fashionable SUV segment. That says it all really. Get a Focus, you dont need this joke of a car. Sorry, this is a great channel and review, its the car im moaning about not your video.
I find the current Focus too bloated for UK roads and parking. The Fiesta maybe a touch too small, so the Puma does have a certain Goldilocks size about it in European markets.
it's not a fantastic car, i don't know the price in the united kingdom, but here in portugal, the st-line version costs almost the same as a focus active, which is a much better car.
I often wondered why car makers didn't out a small EV battery into petrol cars for the purpose of just giving you control over the car for air con and heating etc from you're mobile phone like you can with full EV cars so you can preheat the car or pre cool
marklola12 thats just being lazy. Dont be so soft. My goodness, what is wrong with people these days ? Millennials. Everything convenient, easy, an app for everything. Just get in the car and turn the heater up or down !
I have just bought an St Line X 155 in black with the comfort pack and B and O speakers, I bloody love it, head turning looks and love the tech inside.
Meni Fo it looks shit. It is a pointless fashion car that will be traded in for some other pointless fashion car in 3 or 4 years, thus wasting more money. Get a new Subaru, pay it off keep it for ten years at least, and it will also run rings round this silly car.

Nice car but a worry about the longevity of Ecoboost engines with their wet timing belts, which are arguably supposed to last 10 years and cost a fortune to replace.

A dry timing belt design, in my experience, is good for 210,000 kms.

Does the electric motor kick in at higher speeds on the motorway when you put your foot down.
Why this monitor isn’t folding when you start engine? I have new fiesta and still see this mistake in new puma. 🙈
Where are these pumas manufactured?
Romania
Looks good on grey matter
Certainly does, Andrew 👍 Are you interested in getting one?
Ford Australia aren't bringing the mild Hybrid or the mega box which sucks. A full size spare is not really required for those people buying these.
We're buying a Mid-Spec ST-Line, and after some discussion on what would be better. The spare wheel is likely to be more suitable. Fortunately the engine even without hybrid is still very efficient. I'm in Australia also - are you buying one?

“Red stitching and carbon style fascia covering ....” Just embarrassing imho. (I accept that then exterior is good-looking)

It's mixed of alfa romeo Giulietta with Porsche macan .
