General Comments
My second car and in 1.7 form it is superb. The Ford Puma 1.7 is brilliant to drive and comfortable too. However, being a Ford means using Ford Garages. They have really spoilt the experience. Firstly they caused the head gasket to fail by doing a poor service and then two years later the engine failed because they had messed up the head gasket replacement two years previously. However, Ford itself were excellent and helped out with paying for the new engine. Secondly the car, no matter how you set it up chews up tyres.
