[Guppy]

They sound lovely tbh!

Nice little motor!

 

[theduck]

very nice. love these, just always wished they had more grunt.

 

[Darren S]

They are supposed to be a cracking motor from what I've heard. A very rare sight on the roads too. I'd have one. :approve:

D.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Looks like a weapon.

 

[tommy g]

the handlings superb aswell, i thinks its got a good balance of power and handiling. would love to take it on track. "asks the missus" lol

 

[_Tom]

Nice. Shame there all show..

 

[Ben.]

looks good, not cheap are they?

 

[Fletcher]

My mate had one new, great car.

 

[tommy g]

[Daniel]

Love it!

Looks like a tidy one too.

 

[micallef1990]

i love these. my fav colour of all time

 

[nebraska182]

Wouldve expected the 0-60 & BHP to be more on that thing..

 

[cat171]

I love them !

Very rare to see one on the roads As they are quite sought after they hold their value really well too.

 

[ForceIndia]

Really nice. Slightly underpowered, just means you can drive it flat out on a more regular basis.

 

[Alastair.]

nice, ive always liked these.

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

Good choice always wanted one myself

 

[The_Pirate]

7.9 to 60 isnt exactly a million miles from 172 pace tbh

When you drive them, it's a different type of pace. A 172 would pull away convincingly.

Indeed it would, but im pretty convinced if Stefan Roser was behind the wheel of a FRP and me in a 172 id be struggling lol

 

[Darren]

these are based on a widened fiesta chasis, no?

always loved them. cracking cars, and what they lack in pace they make up for in handling.

 

[markhinton]

these are based on a widened fiesta chasis, no?

In a word, yes. Pretty much a mk5 Zetec-S underneath but it's coupled with much better suspension and Alcon calipers, hence why it's not all about the outright pace in this car, but more it's handling abilities and brakes *squeeeeek*

What number is it? Looks tidy!

 

[The_Pirate]

Sexwee! Wow mate, looks great and very tidy.

As I always say when these come up, they were touted as the best FWD handling car in the world at one point.

Also quicker round the ring than a mk1 Focus RS. No too shabby.

 

[Josh220]

Love the look of these. Would love a go in one I've only heard good things about the handling.

 

[ukaskew]

Gorgeous. Girl locally has one as a daily driver so I get to see one every day, fantastic sight on the road, they have awesome road presence.

Couldn't care less about it being 'underpowered' (so is the standard 1.7, but still awesome to drive), have only heard wonderful things about how they drive.

How's the paintwork looking? Researched them a while back and many had been resprayed due to stone chips.

 

[tommy g]

the number is 272 and the paintwork is absoultley mint no rust, stone chips, dents anywhere!

 

[The_Pirate]

The wide body just plays havoc with stone chips, I don't care if it was rusting from the inside out (gally ) it would still be an awesome machine!

Quality. Haha ha ha.

Looks lovely in that colour.

Multi-Self quoting FTW

 

[Bjorn]

Really like that. My Mrs has just bought a 1.7 Puma, pretty good looking car for the money.

 

[The_Pirate]

Multi-Self quoting FTW

Talking about yourself but not really FTW!

 

[MattT]

Lovely.
Still look lovely despite their age - just watch the maintenance on the brakes and stone chips on them arches!

 

[tommy g]

the lad who owned it before has had them all refurbed at a cost of £1000 and said to make sure you service them

 

[treemanx]

Looks awesome, would love one but don't think they're worth what they go for.

 

[tommy g]

price you pay for exclusivety

 

[meady100]

I love Pumas! They handle so sweetly its unreal. I'm really looking forward to seeing how my 200 stacks up against my old dears.

 

[bendee]

my misses has the normal 1.7 and i was suprised how well it drove the frp is defo on my list of cars to own but the pace does put me off even tho im not a mad driver.
