👉 Formentor downhill drive available @    • Downhill Drive on Mallorca’s Craziest Road...  

For the very first time, I am able to give you a proper review since I had the immense pleasure to drive this car for 2 weeks and drove with it over 2000kms (1240 miles) ••• The version I had was the 1.0L EcoBoost Hybrid ST-line manual transmission (the following versions are also available : Trend / Titanium / St-line / Vignale / ST & ST X). Pricings starts respectively at 70kPLN/€19k/$25k. The Ford Puma is the equivalent of the Bmw x1, the Ford Kuga of the Bmw x3, the Ford Explorer in term of pricing is between the Bmw x5 and x7.. as it comes to space, more like the x7 than the x5.

Driving from Pollenca Golf Club to Formentor,.. passing around northern cities like Pollenca and Port de Pollenca, ending the video with an amazing hill climb to the Formentor Albercutx Watchtower, just in time for the sunrise.

WHAT ABOUT THE CAR ?
👍 The car was literally brand new when I got it (nearly had 1000kms/600miles on it). I love the way it looks. I don't know what's the deal with Mallorca & Fords.. but you have plenty of them up there (fiesta / focus / puma / kuga). The car itself looks beautiful, it has a huge trunk (460L - no spare wheel but instead run flat tires). We have been 5 grown-ups in it with no complain as it comes to space. The manual transmission was surprisingly satisfying, especially the 1st gear.. which you could keep as long as you wanted.. without noticing or having the need to change for a higher gear.. I know it sound strange.. but it happened to me to cruise in those villages in 1st gear when I thought I was in 3rd gear. Everytime I was on the highway's express line, other cars were moving to side lines so I can pass them even when I didn't want to.. This car has such an agressive front look when you see it in your rear mirror, that you think there is an angry maniac coming at you (especially with those very characteristic Ford Led Lights).
👎 Can't really say anything wrong about that car, because I truely enjoyed my time with it. I like the fact it's small, it looks small, meanwhile you will not complain about lack of space. It's not the kind of car you usually buy.. I guess, this car is for people who don't need a Bmw or an Audi but still would like something attractive, a spacious car not being massive, while literally paying half the price.. The only noticeable issue you can easily spot in those cheap cars, is the interior acoustic.. it is a loud environment.
