That's been said for years and years.

For an engine to repeatedly win awards tells me its just trolling.
I agree, the fault was with the degas pipes corroding and losing coolant which overheated the engine, incidentally, the much acclaimed puretech engine has had problems with cam belts, but you donโ€™t hear of that ..
St line x 1st edition, it has nearly everything

I got the puma 1st week dec 2020 It was reg sept 2020 with 1 previous owner so that owner in scotland only had for 3 months???
I part ex at my local garage where I got puma for 18,995 with 5000 miles which was a good price at time, My new merc is 70 plate A200 executive with 450 on clock of course i've gone up the scale a bit and merc is priced at 22,995 cos puma now had 9250 miles on and 2 owners I haggled for approx 2 hrs but they wouldn't offer more than 17000+a yrs tax but after a test drive I was sold on it, End of the day im happy, lesson learnt do more research on the vehicle you intend to buy, And if I ever pass through Romania I would kick arse in that ford factory!!!

Bad luck with the Puma...I've had a few issues but all seem sorted now.
..end of the day all cars can have their issues...also don't think Mercs are trouble free...I had use of an E63s for 2 years at work...120ks worth and its build quality left a little to be desired.....grass isn't always greener.
#Pumas are great cars.
