What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the Puma is the best small SUV to drive, with lively, economical engines and a large, cleverly designed boot. The common criticisms are cheap-feeling materials in the updated interior, limited rear legroom and a sluggish automatic gearbox; Autocar found the low-speed ride poor, and What Car? thought the latest ST slower and less fun than before.
