Ratings  
Performance
It's very quick and nimble. Great for twisting country roads, and darting through city traffic.
Design
Exterior design belies the Fiesta underpinnings, doesn't seem to date, either.
Comfort
Aircon and CD player are handy, sports seats useful when on the door handles! Cavernous boot, too. Rear headroom isn't generous, though.
Safety
Rear visibility isn't perfect, so it's important to keep aware of what's around you in traffic.
Reliability
Failed its MOT on the suspension, but that's characteristic of the hard ride. If you use official Ford parts the suspension should be good for up to 5 years.
Value
Excellent value for money. Perhaps not as surefooted as the MINI, but much cheaper and much, much more practical. Not being mistaken for an estate agent an added bonus.
Running
It's a Fiesta underneath so most things are cheap. Returns the quoted 38mpg without effort. Little to go wrong except the suspension, which is what you buy it for, anyway.
Problems 
General Problems:Wing mirrors are unique to Puma and aren't sprung, so if hit hard, they'll break. Ford charge a bomb for new ones so best to get one second hand.
Customer Service

Service RatingHideously overpriced for the suspension work. Went to Mr Clutch instead and got the work done for half the price.
