The Ford Puma will draw plenty of attention to its exterior; this coupe was designed with style in mind - space is a tad limited in the back seats and boot, but more than comfortable for two. A popular model, Motors.co.uk feature many Pumas at incredibly low prices.

Ford is one of the most popular car manufacturers around and can turn its hand to pretty much any motoring niche. If you actually need an example, consider the Ford Puma- it’s a small sports coupe that has a distinct cat-like look about it and is a huge amount of fun to drive. Ideal around town, but just as comfortable on open roads, the Puma is an excellent choice if you’re looking for something excitable, eye catching and elegant.
The Puma was released in 1997 and was available right up to 2001. With numerous awards to its name, there’s no question it was popular and impressive to drive. Several different special editions were produced, including the Millennium, Black, Thunder and Racing. Boasting better performance and improved designs, the UK public couldn’t get enough.
So yes, the Puma is very attractive to look at even in regular trim- the sexy curves, feline front headlights and pert rear end are just some of the highlights. Head inside and things are just as impressive with a sporty design, chunky buttons and logical layout. Even though it’s sold as a 4 seater, in all honesty it’s probably best used for 2 people as there’s really not a great deal of room in the back. There is however a lot of equipment as standard, and anyway if you put the rear seats down you’ll get a bigger boot.
In terms of driving experience, the Puma doesn’t disappoint. The handling is hugely responsive and delivers a nice amount of feel through the steering wheel; you can guide the car exactly where you want. While the ride is quite firm, it’s not uncomfortable, but you’ll be having too much fun to notice. Across the range of standard and special edition models, there are a lot of engines available and they all deliver a wonderful amount of performance. Remember it’s quite a light car, so whether you go for something small and punchy or larger and more powerful, you’ll still get up to speed quickly.
Here at Motors.co.uk you’ll see an astronomical selection of second hand cars for sale at heavily discounted prices. What this means is that finding a bargain is very easy indeed, and a used Ford Puma won’t be far out of reach. The fact it’s a bit of a veteran now means there’s certainly no shortage, so dive in and take a look.
The bottom line is that the Ford Puma is an excellent small sporty coupe that’s always ready to pounce. With some eye widening designs, grin inducing performance and the fact you can get one for almost nothing, there’s not much else that comes close. If you’re after a big dose of fun every time you get behind the wheel, the Puma is perfect.
