If to speak about fuel consumption, then this model in the urban environment is consumed when good condition of the car about nine and a half liters of gasoline, and in the extra-urban cycle - about six. Ease of management is achieved through the steering. These are some of the features of this car brand.

The Gasoline engine has a high capacity of 125 horsepower. Transmission, drive, brake, also unchanged from the previous model. Consumption of gasoline is a little more in urban conditions and on the track. So the only difference is engine power.

Ford did not miss the opportunity to release an enhanced version of this model - a Ford Racing Puma. The edition was only five hundred cars. It's more powerful than all other models with 155 horsepower. A "Ford" produced exclusively for the British, because the steering wheel was located on the right side, and the movement, as you know, in England the left.

Rating car owners

What do you think the drivers on this model? If you pay attention to the reviews of Ford Puma, you'll notice some interesting observations. Many owners note that the car is very nimble at the start, and controllable. The drawback is that the salon is not very convenient to go out, and review rear view is not very good due to the width of the rack.

And yet, judging by the numerous reviews, the drivers are very happy with this car. It is worth considering that some people use them on average about ten years. Some refer to the advantages of the "Ford Puma" maneuverability: the car can freely go to overtake, it's good to enter turns, without significant speed reduction. The machine is very good holds the road down to the speed limit. A significant disadvantage of drivers consider closely the interior of the car, especially for people of great stature. For replacement parts there are many options from cheap to expensive - as evidenced by many motorists. For exterior design, the car is very attractive and looks like a sports car.

Disadvantages owners Ford Puma also note the problematic body, because it is not galvanized, accordingly, prone to destruction. Its replacement will cost a lot of money because we have to order in Germany. Among the advantages there is a good working engine, excellent performance management, and ergonomics of the pedals.

In General, the reviews about the car positive. Looking at the specifications of Ford Puma, it is clear that this sports car created by the conquest of kilometers of highways. Although in 2001, the Ford company stopped producing this model, those drivers who are still happy to operate the car, usually call it "Zippy little car" or "cat."
