The FORD PUMA (1997-03) 3DR COUPE 1.7 16V is a small, two-door sports coupe, rather than an SUV or family hatchback. Based on the Fiesta, it occupies a compact-coupe niche in the UK market. Its size suits town driving, while its distinctive shape gives it personality beyond an everyday supermini. The 1.7-litre engine and keen handling make this Puma memorable: it feels lively and engaging on country roads, yet remains small and straightforward to use. Compared with small coupes such as the Vauxhall Tigra, it is especially valued for enjoyable steering and a sporty feel. It best suits singles or couples, weekend drivers and enthusiasts; rear-seat and boot space are limited for family duties. Mycarcheck recorded 602 look-ups across 330 VINs, with average mileage of 83,000, about four previous keepers and 3,000 annual miles. The £200 average private-sale valuation is a check-data figure, not a guide price.
