Default Racing Pumas?

Thinking of selling the Saff and getting a Racing Puma, anyone got any ideas what they are like, reliability, parts, handling?

I've had enough of the agro with my saff and want something i can drive everyday with no problems

Cheers,

Dave

Had one before my Focus RS.....They are the bollox mate you will love um!!! They out handle most cars including the Focus RS as they have a track set up.... Pukka exhaust note also and they pop and crackle big time..Parts are'nt too bad...Pads and discs are a tad expensive but they last well...... Go get one!!!

they are top motors and great fun to drive
bits r cheap especially through pumabuild....tho the brakes need looking after a lot

Sorry Grant, i'm just fed up of the hassle that goes with having a cossie


I want a car that is reliable and doens't go wrong as often, and some thing i can take to lakeside without the fear of it getting nicked!

Dave but you have a cosworth, they are the might of the road

Didn't realise how cheap the racing pumas are I thought they were in the same price range as the focus RS

4 year old car, only 500 made, one of the best handling fwd cars, 10k
The interior looks the tits too
