I know I risk being banished from the Puma world for saying this, but I really like the new Vauxhall ewww nasty car. I am thinking of changing my car in a few months and the ewww nasty car is a possible replacement. Anyone had any experience of this car?

Just previewed this message - didn't realised the Vauxhall car this message is about gets automatically changed to *ewww nasty car*. Surely for the new one this should be *ewww, not as nasty as the last one car*! Can I write it like this "ewww nasty car"? That'll be a no then!

New t1gra is quite a smart little motor, I like it's looks and should drive better once they release the VXR suspension package. biggrin.gif

I was behind one on the way home from work yesterday (do they attract pants drivers, (s)he didn't indicate once?), and it made me think of an up-to-date Puma. Visibility looks even worse than a Puma with the roll bar behind the seats.

My personal opinion - no like. Myself and DjDi amused and befuddled those seated around us in the cinema before Bridget Jones II started when the new ewww nasty car advert was shown by saying "ewww nasty car" quite loudly laugh.gif

Probably quite childish but also funny - made us larf - as does the new ewww nasty car :sorry:.

Hmm, they're ok really. Not too keen on the looks, but it's probably a good car underneath. The cabriolet part would be nice in the summer too. I'd definitely stick the VXR suspension on it though.

Yes it was funny, simultanious reaction from the two girls 'steaming' near the back of the cinema. :rotflmao:

(We got soaked on the way in, heavens opened as we stepped out of the car! very Bridget Jones)

Still better than any current Ford effort...including the bathtub on wheels StreetKa.
It's hardly worth the effort of closing the roof when it rains from what I've heard :roll:

The only Vauxhall I'd have nowadays is the VX220 Turbo cool2.gif

But if I wanted a car similar to the ewww nasty car I'd go for the 206 CC, they're quite nice.

206CC definitely more "girly" than the new ewww nasty car & judging by the results of the Top Gear survey a bit of a nighmare to own too!!

Quite like the new ewww nasty car myself , much more impressive than the last effort & as BOK rightly says certainly miles ahead of anything Ford have produced recently.

It's OK,but the thing Ilike most about it is, Ford may now rethink on future Puma. So we might just get one yet!
