🚗 Why is Everyone Raving About the Ford Puma? 🤔
I recently got behind the wheel of the UK’s best-selling car, the Ford Puma, and I’m still puzzled over its top spot! For two years running, this snazzy SUV has been flying off the shelves, but what makes it so irresistible?
Let’s dive into the numbers. This year alone, 30,764 Pumas have found new homes. Despite replacing the beloved Fiesta—Ford’s best-seller for 12 years—the Puma hasn’t missed a beat. But what’s the secret sauce?
Price may play a part. The base model starts at a competitive £27,000, which is neck-and-neck with the Toyota Yaris Cross and even cheaper than the Peugeot 2008. However, it’s a slight stretch compared to the Volkswagen T-Cross. Want a sportier vibe? The ST-Line trim ramps up the fun (and the price) with extras that bring it to £34,730. Feeling the pinch yet? 😬
So, what’s causing all the buzz? Simple—practicality strikes a chord. The Puma boasts an expansive boot great for those family trips, and its interior storage options make everyday life easier. Tech-savvy drivers will appreciate the central touch screen that integrates seamlessly into the driving experience.
But how does it drive? Surprisingly well! 🎉 The Puma defies its SUV shape with agility that’s close to its sporty sibling, the Fiesta. It handles turns with ease, delivering strong torque and responsive steering. Yet, it’s not all roses—those tyres could use a grip upgrade, and the steering wheel might be a bit bulky for some tastes.
Despite its pros, I found myself asking: Why not just get a second-hand Fiesta? It’s smaller, likely cheaper, and potentially just as fun to drive. 🌟
