odd thing is, i've have my puma 2 years and have never really warmed to it, I sold my yaris t-sport over the puma when the choice was there though as it was a much better drivers car.

Its a great little car but its never grabbed me as anything special, in fact sometimes a little dull. And thats coming from a micra before it........

My own personal opinion obviously, which based on the reviews and such must be wrong!

The only puma id consider being part of that list would be the racing one.

To be fair, Steve said one of.

Any whilst I cant pass personal opinion on all those, the EVO mag I have next to me rate the puma as high or higher than some of those you have listed. namely the VXR, Abarth and 172.

Horses for corsas (pardon the pun) though. I'd prefer some of those to my puma!

the puma isn't made for people that buy 32'' leg jeans.

had to have the seat all the way back also, else my knees would get stuck on the bottom of the steering wheel.

and the door frame is an utter cunt when you get out as you usually ended up smashing your head on it.
