The puma was voted car of yr way bk when, so theres is no dout it is a great coupe....some would say a class above any fiesta. But this is my prob, i dont want to feel like ive downgraded in buying an ST...and think it is a great little car but probably does lack the feel and character of a puma. My seach may go on, any other cars worth looking at? mini cooper is one i will be considering.
