Not that it probably would have been possible at all, or that anyone would have bought it, but it's a real shame it was never available here.
 
The racing ones look cool, but this is like peak New Edge styling from Ford.

Uncool.
 
Slang for a wedgie.
 
This here's a guilty pleasure of mine. I wish I could import one of those.

Cool

They should've brought it to the states and called it the Ford ZX2.
 
Easy Cool.

Always like the Puma, good looking car; thought Ford's Edge design of the 90's was very neat IMO, and has brilliant handling (though sadly haven't driven one myself...). Although, in the UK, they're pretty cheap; being based on the Ka, Fiesta platform helps that, perhaps the classic 90's ford rust helps too :lol:.

The racing Puma is no different as well, shame it's so expensive here. Only thing I've always though about the Puma though, is that it rides a bit too high for me, lowering it by even 30mm seems to really help that.
 
THE FRONT END IS SO ADORABLE. I CAN'T

Cool.
 
An underrated and quirky little car.

Cool.
 
So good in purple.
 
Low cool. Somewhat attractive, not pretentious.
 
Charming city car, great sports car. Sub-zero.
 
Not terribly unattractive for what it is, but also not cool.
 
It's a good looking little car. Aged very well.
 
Cool. A car we never got in the states. Couldn't understand. There was the Cougar. Why not the Puma? The UK got all the fun.
 
The engine was probably the main holdup, if I had to guess.
 
Not gonna lie I found this one mildly satisfying to look at it. Also seeing the clutch pedal really wins me over. It's probably not justified but a very low SZ
 
Meh. What i remember about ford puma is that at least back in the day at our local drags it got audis a3 1.8T (8L) (fwd) all the time. Puma was 1.7 92 kw.
 
Literally the only reason I know this car.
