2023 Ford Puma FWD review
The Ford Puma handles like a hot hatch, looks like a more expensive SUV, and has a sharp sticker price. Why doesn't it sell better?

Scott Collie drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Spacious, polished interior
- Smoother, more refined drive
- Space-saver spare rare in this segment
Misses
- Expensive relative to base Kona Electric...
- ...and crosses into Ioniq 5 price territory
- 100kW DC fast-charging isn't great
