The Racing Puma should have been an RS imo, so thats defo not girly. The normal ones are though!

RS500

I think they are great pocket rockets never judge a boob by it's over and whit the right mods it could make a great sleeper

my mate has a Racing Puma, great cars, the handling is amazing, Good brakes, sticks out like a swore thumb from an normal puma with it looks, Lacks power power & if you are tall, you aint gonna want one & you have to be a dwarf to be able to sit in the back.

i like them but wouldnt buy one

foreigneRS

they have a bit of a reputation for being 'girly' but are very capable cars, as are the fiesta's that they're based on. i would love one, but find the roof far too low - perhaps an aftermarket seat mounted lower would help.

i would also like an mx5 though, also said to be girly but rwd and brilliant handling balance. neither have massive amounts of power, but would both be great fun to drive on road and track

Neil@FastFord

Seems they are girly. But i like mine on road or track, i actually like th style of the car too. For a grand or less they are one of the best Fords for the money. Try one.

das

yes there girly

It's Czech Mate

Very rare, less than 25 FRP's were actually sold with the LSD OPTION.

I actually prefer it without on the road.

The Ford Puma is not girle, even less girlie if its the rare Ford Racing Puma.

They are girly, well at least that is the common opinion, I nearly bought one a while back, but decided it wasn't worth the hassle of being called a fag and having to defend my choice to everyone everywhere I went, so went for a MK5 Fiesta instead, which was of course a right rugged manly beast and a show of my masculinity

Pumas are good cars, but there's no getting away from the image, not even Steve Mcqueen could turn it into a mans car in that advert.

uruk hai

Yes, they are girlie in exactly the same way as Tigra's are.

Coldo

Yes. Girlie as fuck.

Racing Puma's are cool-er... but still a bit girlie imo. They are much more respectable though.

COCHYN

I have one as a runaround, but they are uber-girly hairdresser car....but it handles like its on rails

seeing as neil posted to drag it up i reckon he must be feeling a little insecure.

Neil@FastFord

LOL

It was in GD? I never searched and dug it up, just added...weird

I aint insecure. Part of the attraction for me buying one was that they are very underated, and that people would call me/the car gay, yet with some decent mods it should hang onto the back of stuff round a track....it's all shits 'n giggles Confused to how the post is here though, now you mention it

Girly? Maybe, but then some car owners don't have to compensate the size of their man-hoods with some 500 bhp Cosworth thing.

matts1

Girly? Yes, but then I need a car like this to be a real man lol!!

I'd only worry about a car i'm gonna own if its pink and covered in flowers. Otherwise, if you like it and it drives good. Get one

If your still in doubt, keep some lube in the glovebox for male passengers.(if they rip into you)

hehe my old thread, er i never got one in the end.....ha

Pumas do have a girly image but they are not girly cars.

I think a lot of it is jealousy when they get overtaken through the corners by one.

This is hardly girly:
