For people still viewing this item, after now reaching the 15000 miles mark, after having the necessary servicing, the only niggling thing i have found is the seat belt, none adjustment.
Why Ford did not put a sliding height adjustment for the seat belt defies belief.
I have returned 46.1 miles per gallon over this period.
If I could buy a new one, with all the toys I have on this fitted for a reasonable price I would, but alas Ford would be asking near to the Β£40,000 mark.
This would prohibit my purchase.

There are seat belt adjusters on Ebay
Also the seat moves up and down which can help. Hope I'm not stating the obvious.

The drive was around 1,200 miles round-trip, and the Puma's comfort made the long haul pleasant.
Not aware that the current Puma was available in the US at all, let alone a few years ago..

You are right. Europa, Australia and South Africa only. Maybe he imported it or is referring to a different car.

Or it's a spammer who will come back in a few days and edit a link in, most likely on the word 'resort'.

Also the route is nearly 900 miles one way, so he's done well to do it in 1200 miles as a round trip!

Just hit the 'Report this post' button' (I've already done it) and Robgee cleans up...
