Ford Puma Forum

Very jealous. Bet you can't wait!

If you like to hoon around it definitely adds value to the car, also just on B-roads. In my case the LSD makes up for everything I miss from my Fiesta.

Old comment I know,
I agree with you, not just a track day thing. Power can be applied surprisingly early mid corner, or round roundabouts for an almost sling shot exit.

One drawback is the occasional squirrelling from the front end (Like really bad tramlining) when the roads are poor and on the throttle (Roads are terrible in Essex!!) Not an issue on smooth surfaces.

Yes - I was caught out by this the first time it happened - never had a powerful-enough car before! - and it is something I have to be careful about when pulling away and turning as I am in country lanes for miles around here, and particularly at this time of year when the roads are covered in sticky wet mud (from tractors and large lorries digging up the sugar beet).
I also find the mud flies very high onto the Puma - perhaps the 19" wheels are a reason - but today I have cleaning splashes off the roof!

Just mentioned this on my thread about Recaros being dropped in 2022, but just to post here as well for the sake of completeness. My order has now been bumped to a 2022 car meaning I don't get the Recaro seats. I don't actually even have an ETA yet either - not even a finger in the air one for 6 months time.

Hello Bluecat I've sent you a PM.

I now have an estimated build date of 14-Jan. Have been warned to take it with a bit of a pinch of salt till nearer the time.

There seems to be a lot of threads dealing with delivery dates....

Yeah there is.. I only added my update to what seemed the most appropriate two.

Well guys the car was build on the 12 November and i thought it might be here for Christmas......'oh no its not'. Its still stuck at the factory and its going to be the New Year before i get it. For all you guys wondering when yours will arrive......it will have taken 6 months for mine.

Frustrating I know.. but it's so close now!
