If you had to replace your puma with a more modern car, with similar performance..what would it be?
I bought mine 3 years ago in almost perfect condition for £2000 with 29k on the clock.
Unfortunatly.the change from the city to the country has taken its toll on the bodywork,although the engine is still perfect.
I stiill think for what I paid.it would have been impossible to find a better drivers car..the way the car handles from the steering down to the gearshift are all perfectly weighted making the car a joy to drive,as well as more than adequate performance with the strong engine.
If you look in the classifieds.you will have to spend a lot more than 2 grand to find a more modern car with similar performance/ability/cost to run.
The only car I can find is the Suzuki Swift,being a very similar package..just the dead steering and average engine stops me.
Anyone got any ideas?
If rust wasn't taking hold,i would just get the bodywork done,but its really just false economy on a car with known rot problems.
