See a few YouTube videos and it does seam an awesome car. One thing I did here mentioned is some Pumas have drum brakes on the rear on some of the later models. I would prefer all disc brakes rather than a drum at the rear, so will see when I take delivery. Is this to separate the st from other st-line models I wonder.

Seems that 125's have rear drums, 155's rear discs. Not sure when this changed but seems to be from 2021 onwards.

Looking on Ford configurator webpage (mobile) can't see any mention of rear brakes at all, but what I have noticed that the mHEV option for 7DCT Auto is no longer there, it's only available in Non-hybrid again. I guess they're just throwing cars out with what ever parts they have available now :shock:

Just for piece of mind did some homework on the motorpoint car website. Which to be honest was quite good to check the rear brakes. They have 360 viewing which allows you to zoom on the rear wheels and it looks like the 155 has discs on the rear, 125 drum..

My new 125 delivered in June 21 has rear drums and just as much to my annoyance, no sports pedals and no scuff plates. A real con in my view.

What I can't seem to find out is whether or not is actually Has cylinder deactivation at low speeds. At 1,500 RPM it feels like something is going on but I'm not sure whether it's cylinder deactivation or just labouring.

Also annoying was only finding out that it had a Wombat battery after it was delivered (I thought that the 2021 models were fitted with Vartas).

I think cylinder deactivation was binned some time ago and the latest Pumas are still on the Rombat.
