Can you repeat your last comment, please . Far too many negative posts on here at the moment re the Puma (Ford must have filled their reject compound by now). Hopefully, by the time I get mine all the comments/issues/problems will have been fed through by dealers to Ford HQ who then tell the factory to up their game. I believe the battery supplier has been changed already.
Not everyone on here has negative comments of their cars.
Some negative comments are from those who donβt own one!
Like most things in life, people only comment on the negatives and hardly ever praise.

Interesting. I thought the comments where from owners actual experiences, which is very welcomed as it informs others.
Moreover, which 'negative comments' are from owners who don't own one?
I can't recall a would-be or thinking-of-being-an-owner commenting on dealing with issues with the car they don't have?
Remember, a would-be owner making a judgement/comment on actual stories of issues from other posers don't constitute something negative. In fact, it could be seen as a positive.

Hi. I think you may have found your soap box, going by your colourful remarks.BjNtheBear wrote: βWed Jul 28, 2021 9:11 am

However, and to the point: So it isn't ' posterS' and 'those' who don't own, it's a singular one- me?
And recall we are looking for examples for where non-owners expressed 'negative' comments about the actual car. Choosing not to purchase a car based on actual user cases, well documented by current and prior owners who were selfless enough to document their troubles, constitutes somewhat of an informed decision, not a negative one. It is a judgement. A negative comment about a car is an owner documenting their issues with it, as many have done, for example like when you documented a particular issue on the 'deep sleep' thread. Appreciated.
For completeness, I think the car looks nice, and reviews from 'journos' and users seem to indicate it rides well, too. Which generally is why, I presume, a significant percentage number of owners consider a/the car originally.
However, reading the many experiences of owner issues, and even rejections, has informed me to consider alternatives.
I'm still searching for posts where non-owners are describing negative aspects of the car, and not just making decisions based on real-life user experiences.
Maybe a non-owner has returned the car they don't own for a panel gap which don't exist? lol
I guess everyday is a school day.

@ STer which colourful remarks (plural) would you be referring to I myself purchased after viewing some negative feedback and have even had some of these same issues, Rombat and updating software, panel gaps etc.

Thank you for informing the board of the negative issues with your car, where the most active area of your posting has been in the faults and technical section. It's helped to inform others.BjNtheBear wrote: βWed Jul 28, 2021 9:51 am I myself purchased after viewing some negative feedback and have even had some of these same issues, Rombat and updating software, panel gaps etc.
