I very much enjoy these comparison reviews.

@srspower 2 жыл бұрын

I helped my mum buy a puma recently and it's a fantastic car. At 155bhp it's pretty quick and responsive it doesn't handle like a SUV at all and the megabox is amazing. In contrast I now drive a Nissan Qashqai company car (hand me down for the lease) and its boot is only 430 litres compared to the Pumas 450 and unlike the Puma it drives and handles like a P&O ferry!

Love these comparison reviews, and the easy friendly presentation style is brilliant, really entertaining but comprehensive and informative. Two of my favourite motoring journalists - brilliant! As for the cars, like you say it’s hard to find a bad car these days.. For me it’s close but I would go with the Puma - based on the slightly better ride/handling and the practicality in the back!

@richardharrison3099 2 жыл бұрын

So we have had a petrol automatic Mokka for 12 months. So the lane control is a pain. Getting in the back is another issue. So kids will be ok but if your an adult you will have issues getting in and out. We have the keyless entry. We have given up on this as it is so temperamental. Then one big issue is when we go to open the car with the key fob. We find the car will not open. The key fob stops working. So we have a trick now to get round this. We have to open and close the boot. Which I am guessing because we have keyless entry it allows us to do this. Then the key fob comes back to life. We can now open the car with the key fob. The car has been back 7 times to the dealer. Still not fixed.

I rented a brand new Mokka for a week recently. It was fun but I found the steering really tiring. Even after switching off all lane assists etc it would constantly want to pull back to centre. The need to pull the wheel down and keep pulling was very wearing, especially after long drives.

Great review of both cars, if I had my choice I'd have the Ford as it looks better, is more practical and has a proper handbrake which is a nice touch! Having said that both are too expensive for what they are tho' as a second hand buy they'd be better. I'd have happily done without the megabox in the Ford and had a spare wheel instead, tho' I wonder if you could get a spare to fit in that space.

@davidellis1079 2 жыл бұрын

In the video, there is something part-filling the megabox. I am wondering if it is a space saver wheel with a cover over it 🤔. The empty megabox is much deeper than that.

@carsirelanddotie 2 жыл бұрын

Correct. Our test car did have the optional mini spare wheel in the Megabox, we just didn't get a shot of it on the day.

@stevencampbell1150 2 жыл бұрын

@@carsirelanddotie that's interesting as I wasn't sure if you could get one for it and also one that would fit in there as I'd rather have one than be stuck at the side of the road looking for one as those puncture repair/inflation kits are useless having in the past tried to use one and got nowhere and had to call out the breakdown service as a result.

@sharonec5419 2 жыл бұрын

The Ford Puma is not a bad looking car on the outside just a pity the latest Ford interiors are so dull. Fords best interiors were in the S-Max it was like a space ship sitting in that so spacious and such a great dash with the cool airplane style handbrake, the last mondeo not the current run out Mondeo which has a very dull dash. The C-Max as well as the last Kuga both basically shared the same dash and a great stylish classy dash it was too. Unlike the latest Fords which have all gone very dull. The Opel has a nice dash but looks very dull at the front. Maybe in the metal it looks better. Still I think a Renault Captur is far nicer than either of the two cars here and very reliable too.

@Villanade 2 жыл бұрын

Spent a few days with a Mokka Elite Nav Premium with 130bhp. Tech is really good and engine is excellent for a 1.2 litre. Suspension slightly firm but I like that. Good to drive. The negatives are the really small boot space, lack of room in back seats and lack of height in cabin. Also quite a bit of cheap looking plastic in the lower areas of interior. Is the Ford worth the extra money though?

@rossdev 2 жыл бұрын

Hard to say, but one thing I would be confident about is the residuals will be better with Ford. Opel are not liked as a brand by the motor trade in Ireland (having experience of trading my Opel Astra for a Puma). One thing that was glossed over a little in the review is the fuel efficiency of the Puma. I'm getting an average of 5.6l/100km at motorway speeds which is pretty good and off the motorway driving on R roads I'm getting 5.0l/100km, the Mokka will struggle to achieve that. The 48v battery also provides some additional torque when accelerating. I do think the Puma is definitely the drivers car of the two, it has a sweet manual gearbox and the steering is superb. Build quality is a problem, mine has rattles as the passenger door is not properly aligned, so they need to up their game in that department and there are lots of reports of the 12V battery failing. Both cars have a timing belt that is submerged in oil and that would worry me in the long term.

@marcinsobczak2485 2 жыл бұрын

Puma is a good looking car but absolute trash if it comes to drivetrain - with petty 1 liter engines and horrible dual clutch transmissions ford has nothing I would buy today. Opel on the other hand, based on psa platforms with all their flaws is miles ahead if it comes to drivetrain. 1.2 engines are much stronger than fords and torque converter automatics are available even in tiny cars like 208 and can be paired with weaker versions of 1.2 so you don't have to go to top spec to get real automatic transmission. For me the winner is obvious in this one.
