Hello

This is my first post - pumapeople.com seems a great site!
I have been a puma owner for around 4 months and it has to be the best car I have driven . . .

One quick question - the paint work on the bonnet seems to chip easy? Is this a standard problem or just my driving?

Cp.

Welcome :-)

Paint chips?

Ford spent a lot of money designing the Puma so that the front chips the most of any production car - EVER!!!

;-)

Yeah, its normal part of Puma ownership Im afraid

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO -What a Ride!:D

Welcome, glad you like the Puma. The paint is prone to chipping, leaving a bigger gap to cars infront is the only cure really.
