New Puma facelift, so excited!

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I picked up my new Puma st-line yesterday after my three year pcp deal ended on my vauxhall Mokka.A car i actually liked but my wife found it hard to park.
I have only drove the Puma about five miles(from dealers to home) but i did notice quite a bit of road noise which i wasn't expecting.
Also unlike that photo by @Katimac my steering wheel obstructs the top of the dashboard even though i have adjusted the steering wheel as far it can go.
Anyway early days yet and i will be driving up the A12 later on so that will give it a bit of a run.
Looking forward to being on this forum.

Hi, Welcome to the forum....Loving your user name...
Let us know how you get on with your drive. Throw in a couple of country lanes on your drive, it's where the Puma excels.

Thank you very much, it was indeed in there! It looks much better now

Is that the display in the facelift? That alone is a reason not to buy it!

Agreed....Just looks too bland and half finished.

First thing I noticed too was the road noise if the road surface is abrasive. It's ok on smooth tarmac.

If your wife is shorter than you get her to check the near side door mirror comes in enough. Ours doesn't.

There is a fix for that.....search around the forum, involves clipping something behind the mirror.

Thanks Sparks. I read that it was something Ford should have fixed in 2021 and requires a peg removing. Our car must have been given a mirror which should have gone on a LHD car !

What the hell is the point of analogue dials with no numbers on, which brain dead nugget thought of that

Probably the same nugget who designs the parcel shelves, early powershift gearbox and thought belts run in oil was a good experiment. Not to mention the poor water cooling on the 1.5 petrol, althiugh I see the 1 litre has a similar set up but is without issue.

Also could be the same nugget who thinks bonding door seals to door surrounds is a good idea.

Quick question.

Does the car revert to Normal mode every start up?
