JUST GOT MY FIRST ONE

hi, just got my first puma on friday, and love it liked them for years but just got out of dull job with realy dull comp car, i only have the 1.4 and i think that seams fast would love the 1.7 but my head says tax and ins and stuff, ps love the site

Thanks

Welcome to the site, congratulations on the new purchase. The 1.4 is a good compromise!

Does that mean you've fallen into a new quirky fun job too?

Any questions you have, ask away :yay:

yea bril new job, but my old work car was a citroen c5 bob i know but the ride was very soft, and the puma a bit hard but im sure in a week or so i wont bother,lol oh the car seames not to like 30mph and 40mph unless im in 2nd or 3nd ? is this the norm? because in 5th at 30mph going down a bit of a hill seames a bit ruff, and i have had a full service done but no change?? any idea?

5th at 30 might be a push.. 4th should be ok though

If your c5 was a diesel it will be a bit different i.e. you wont have as much low down torque.

Does it feel like a problem or just feel like its too slow for that gear?

well when i left my last job i needed a car fast and a pall in the trade had a t reg fiesta 1.3 that had done 42k and i got that and that did 30 in fifth without a problem, my c5 was a diesel but a 2.0 with six speed box and that would only do 30 in 4th but i think its cos it seames the puma only realy happy with foot to the floor if you know what i mean? but going to work at 8:30 in morning you cant drive like that, i have had the car linked to the ecu laptop at work and all was well? so im at a loss ?

hello and welcome. I went for the 1.6 for similar reasons as you stated mate, still get the great handling as standard though Any pics of yours?

Hi pumba.

You'll get used to the ride after a bit and realise that the handling makes up for it.

hi jasper, yea the ride is a bit hard but like you say i will get used to it, it does not help that the roads where i live are pants,
