This, ladies and gentlemen, is the newest arrival on our site. And although it’s approaching its second birthday, you’d swear it had just rolled out of a futuristic Ford laboratory wearing nothing but optimism and showroom polish. Why? Because it’s covered a scarcely believable 2,000 miles. Two thousand. That’s not mileage — that’s a gentle stroll. It’s barely been exercised. Frankly, most cars see more action being reversed out of the dealership on day one. Inside? Immaculate. Outside? Gleaming. Smell? Pure, undiluted new car aroma — that glorious scent that normally costs you a small financial catastrophe in depreciation. Which brings us neatly to the point. Buying a brand-new car is like setting fire to a stack of banknotes while someone applauds politely. The moment you leave the forecourt, your pride and joy sheds value faster than a Labrador in summer. So why not let someone else suffer that heartbreak? This Ford Puma gives you all the joy of newness without the financial trauma. And what a thing it is. The Puma isn’t just another small SUV trying desperately to look adventurous. It’s genuinely stylish. Sharp lines, athletic stance — it actually looks like it wants to be driven, rather than parked outside a garden centre. Better still, because it’s a Ford, it doesn’t handle like a wardrobe on roller skates. It drives properly. With composure. With balance. With enthusiasm. Specification? Oh yes. You get diamond-cut alloy wheels that sparkle like they belong on something absurdly expensive, heated seats for your posterior, a heated steering wheel for your fingers, and a heated windscreen — which means winter mornings no longer involve scraping ice while questioning your life choices. Then there’s the touchscreen infotainment system, complete with Bluetooth, satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto — essentially everything required to prevent you from getting lost or bored. There’s more, of course, but listing it all would take longer than one of my rants about speed limits. Before it leaves us, it will receive a full PDI and service, so everything is exactly as it should be. In short: It looks new. It feels new. It smells new. But crucially… it doesn’t cost new-car money. And that, frankly, is a rather brilliant thing.
