In my opinion, the Ford Puma is quite a nice overall package, and im really happy with mine.
Several friends have hyundai coupes (one a normal, the other the evo) and both seem ok cars, but both of them have also commented on the skittish handling of them.
the 406 coupe looks gorgeous, and with a few other bits and bobs is great, however its still a 406 at heart, and as such the handling wont be as nimble as somthing like a puma.
personally if I could spend my money again id get either a Racing Puma or a DC2 Integra R.... but thats just me...

will you be doing a look what I bought thread when you get it or do you fear the negativity of the forum

True, but on the financial side of things the Puma would wipe me out on the insurance, and they're a similar spec on paper... it looks gorgeous, I find them comfy cars with a good driving position, I just need to take one a spin for a final test

Looks like a decision based on insurance prices, which, as i'm sure you know, play a large part in young peoples car decisions these days.
Btw, don't buy a 1.6 Coupe. MPG and general running costs are the same as the 2 litre. Just stump up some more on the insurance front.

meh, I'll only get that from the guys at work despite the fact that between them there's 3 corsa's, a punto, an ibiza and a golf with a 60 foot spoiler
I think it is the random lines across the side of the car that ruin its looks. Had it been smooth, it would have been inoffensive and pleasant to the eye. As it is (IMO), the design is a mess.
Its not a hugely ugly car, just its not quite "right".
