THEPUMAISajoytodrive;it’s super-nimble

for a small SUV, while the steering gives you a

real sense of connection with the front wheels.

These are things you’ll appreciate no matter

where you’re driving. Although rear seat space

is only so-so, the Puma is also surprisingly

practical, thanks to a big boot with a height-

adjustable floor. It’s also well equipped,

strong on safety and decent on quality.
