		In the late nineties, Ford HQ decided that they were going to lay the demons of some really bad cars to rest by building some new sexy ones.
		The only car within feet of the Puma's remit was the aging Tigra, a car so cheaply based on the Corsa that even Opel salesmen were at a loss to explain anyone who would pay the premium.
		The premature death of one of the best cars Ford has built for some time can be partly attributed to the phasing out of the Fiesta platform it was based on, despite the fact that the Ka hangs on to this day with the same underpinnings.

		For the first time in decades Ford seem to have got everything right from day one, despite the fact that all the acclaim is being heaped on a car that is really far from new, and even further from cutting edge.
		The Puma, like the Ka, is based on Fords Uncle Fiesta platform, so it is no surprise then that the interior styling should be based on that of the Fiesta.
		The Puma has the transponder type immobiliser in the key which will not allow the engine to run unless the correct coded key is used.

	Ford Puma '97 model, a good review
		The Puma is equipped with a drivers airbag as standard, with the option of a passenger one also.
		Together with the power assisted steering, the Puma has traction control and anti lock braking, which ensure that there is always enough feedback from the wide track tyres, and with a short shift, close ratio gear box, the handling is never upset and is always precise.
		Well it means that Ford have built another astounding performance car, so much so that I went and bought it after a short test drive, and have been having fun with it ever since.

		This Ford is loved by trade and public alike, making it a superb second-hand buy, according to trade bible Glass's Consumer Values.
		Barrie's Puma 1.7 was a year old when he bought it in March 2001, and it has since covered nearly 50,000 miles.

	2002 Ford Puma Comments - Carsurvey.org
		The Puma's League is C2 VTS and 106 GTI and 206 GTI 138.
		I have a chipped puma that was reliably dynoed and gave a figure of 256 hp at the wheels, this car regularly trounces evos, ctr's and scoobys on the road and on tracks.
		Ford kept quiet about the massive tuning potential of these engines for reasons I do not know, i live in the Sheffield area if anyone wants to come and sample its delights, but be prepared to be astounded.

	irishcar.com - Ford Puma Racing
		The base Puma is a gorgeous car, maybe one of Ford's nicest creations of the decade.
		The seats are special racing yokes, their shells thinly padded and space across the seat only for those of us with trim bums (We know friends who would be left suspended from the upcurved edges).
		But really, the place for the Racing Puma is where its name indicates: on the race track.

	The Ford Puma (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
		The Puma has used three engines, all petrol and all Zetec-SE units, and I’ll detail them in size order, with the smallest 1·4 litre first.
		All Pumas (apart from the Racing) share the same suspension set up, and this is essentially very similar to the Fiesta and Ka, but rather stiffer.
		The Puma may be a Ford, and it may be related to the Fiesta, but it is a very entertaining car.

	Ford Puma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ford Puma was a small coupe produced by the Ford Motor Company from 1997 to 2001.
		The Ford Racing Puma was created in a limited run of just 500 by Tickford, Daventry UK and used a modified version of the 1.7 Zetec-SE engine.
		The discontinuation of the Puma seemed to herald the end of the small coupe market in Europe, with the Vauxhall (or Opel) Tigra entering a short hiatus later on, as well as similar models from other manufacturers.

		The Racing Puma is based on the ST160 concept car.
		This Tickford built edition to the Puma family was available for £23,000.
		To enhance the looks, a more aggressive stance is provided with wider front and rear arches, a new front splitter and a set of arch filling 17in multi-spoke alloys which along with the uprated suspension provides that all important touring car look.

	Ford Puma - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
		Ford lanzó el Puma con la intención de dar un golpe de mano en un segmento del mercado que en aquella época (1997) se encontraba en pleno auge y que a mediados de la primera década del siglo XXI se dio prácticamente por desaparecido.
		Ford hizo lo propio (dos años más tarde que Opel) desarrollando el Puma sobre el bastidor del Fiesta y, para hacer aún más evidente el objetivo de su lanzamiento, bautizó a su nueva criatura con otro nombre de felino.
		El lanzamiento publicitario del Puma también fue novedoso, puesto que el anuncio que se pudo ver en cine y televisión contó con la participación estelar de Steve McQueen.

	1998 Ford Puma Comments - Carsurvey.org
		I requested rear parking sensors to be fitted to my Puma by Ford, but they said they don't fit them anymore (apparently!) - despite being advertised in their Puma brochures.
		Ford are so incompetent, they managed to spill one litre of my GTX Magnatec oil all over the front seats (which ruined the interior).
		Firstly, if 'other puma owners' have all these problems then it wouldn't be deemed the fantastic lower value sports car that it is. It wouldn't have just about every car magazine recommending it for its drive over its practicality.

		So, starting from the basics: it is a Ford, it is a pocket-sized coupe, it is very affordable, very fun to drive and it just looks awesome.
		And the Puma, believe it or not, is certainly one of the cars that fall into this category.
		Congratulations to Ford for producing a FantasyCar that is also affordable to own and run.

		Este cupÃ© deportivo de Ford, creado sobre la excelente plataforma del Fiesta, fue concebido para satisfacer las necesidades de los entusiastas de las prestaciones del cada vez mayor segmento de deportivos pequeÃ±os.
		Ford considera que, dada la gran aceptaciÃ³n que tiene el Ford Puma en Europa, la versiÃ³n ST160 podrÃa llegar a convertirse con el tiempo en un autÃ©ntico objeto de coleccionista.
		El Ford Puma ST160 Concept tiene una relaciÃ³n peso-potencia de 155 CV por tonelada, una cifra que va mucho mÃ¡s allÃ¡ de la de la mayorÃa de los cupÃ©s deportivos de tamaÃ±os equivalentes.

	Ford Puma 1.7 16V --- MotorBar Road Test
		JUDGED ON LOOKS ALONE it was clear from the day the Puma was unveiled that Ford had a winner on its hands.
		While the Puma's dynamic abilities might urge you to drive like a boy racer, the driving environment is beautifully restrained.
		Chassis development was the province of Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) people, who tuned the chassis, suspension and steering to suit enthusiastic driving, while retaining safety, predictability and stability.

	Ford Puma - Ford Forums - Mustang Forum, Ford Trucks and Cars
		I know Ford Australia is targeting the Focus and all it's variants for that segment of the market, and hopefully also the Fiesta for the baby-car market, but I was wondering if the Puma was a viable option as well.
		In a country where Fords such as the Focus on all it's guises, the Mondeo, the Cougar, the Galaxy (MPV - why are they doing a Focus MPV when this model already exists?) and the Fiesta are quite prevalent, the gorgeous Puma is also a common sight on UK roads.
		IMO though, ford aus should concentrate on their bread and butter models for a while, untill they bring up their market share and public opinions a bit.

	Ford Puma (97-02) Review - Parker's
		Puma was launched in 1997 - shortly after the Ka - and was the second model to benefit from Ford's 'New Edge' design philosophy.
		The interior is well finished, with chunky standard Ford switchgear.
		First Puma was the 1.7 16-valve with a close-ratio gearbox, traction control, alloy wheels, chrome tailpipe, body coloured bumpers/mirrors/door handles, alloy gearknob, adjustable three-spoke leather-trim steering wheel, split/fold rear seat, RDS radio/cassette and sports seats with electric height adjustment on the driverâs seat.

		Below is how Simon Jones has modified his 2000 model Puma so that the glove box is now air conditioned as his '97 model was......
		Unfortunately, Ford have not made the hole into the unit, so a little DIY is needed.
		As far as drilling the hole into the heater unit, I couldn't see that the physical unit had ever been changed so it should be safe to do so (unless someone has any info to the contray).

		Makers cant really win here anyway, most will complain because they don’t reach the standards of modern saloon cars, others will describe it as irrelevant tack which which get ruined the first time you ford a deep river, or you mud covered golden retriever jumps aboard.
		In the war between Cherokee and Ford Fiesta, I will drive the Cherokee thank you very much.
		I remember seeing how 8 pistons for a 5litre V8 ford came out at the same price as a single Rover V8 piston.

	Ford Puma "McQueen" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
		When the Young and Rubicam creatives Lee Goulding (art) and Leighton Ballett (copy) got the brief for the Ford Puma launch commercial it was headed "Untamed Spirit".
		They came up with a script idea starring rock legend Keith Richard and a few tigers, but only seconds before the crunch meeting between agency and client they scribbled Steve McQueen's name on the back of an envelope, and it saved their bacon.
		The idea was strong, the concept was ground breaking, we had a great crew, YandR and Ford were both incredibly supportive, we had great shooting conditions - and the police stopped traffic, and back in London the technical support at Rushes was second to none."
