HMC Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 Close on an agreement on this one but I’ll just put this aside until the deal is firmed up. Meanwhile, sportka 1.6 se vs puma 1.4- which if either would you choose and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsinthewelder Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I'd like a Puma, they are pretty and are supposed to drive really well. I haven't bought one yet because they are too small, too rusty and any I've seen for sale are too new for classic insurance. The SportKa is worse on all fronts, I can't see many surviving till 20.

gadgetgricey Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Never owned either, but interesting question. If it was the 1.7 puma, then no contest, Puma easily wins.However as pitching the 1.4 I'd say the Streetka just pips it. I also understand the SK's rust for fun everywhere, not just rear arches. So finding a solid one could be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I would go for the SportKa as you would always be wishing that the 1.4 Puma was the 1.7. Then again, I did seriously consider a Puma but I just couldn't quite get excited enough about them. I think the Fiesta dash put me off whereas the prefacelift Ka dash is a sight to behold.

Ian_Fearn Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I had a 1.7 Puma, it was amazing. I loved it. If you can find one that isn't too rusty it will repay you every time you get behind the wheel. I wouldn't bother with a 1.4, its really the engine that makes the Puma something worth getting excited about. Here is it in Northern Spain. In the end it needed a load of suspension bits and I needed something bigger so it went but I regularly check ebay for them.

Cavcraft Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Close on an agreement on this one but I’ll just put this aside until the deal is firmed up. Meanwhile, sportka 1.6 se vs puma 1.4- which if either would you choose and why?Both, then take a spare driver or A-frame and drop the Ka off at the tip on the way home. There’s simply no competition, the Puma is the only option here. 155V6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83C Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 SportKa's rot as a full time occupation, its their primary function in life. I'd have the Puma for being slightly less willing to rot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_lihp Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I love a Puma but I'd agree that the 1.4 will probably be disappointing in comparison to the 1.7, no idea how good or bad a SportKa is mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraMikeHotel Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 There's a SportKa for sale near me, claims to be a 1.6. Looks tidy on top but I know they rust for fun underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMC Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Still contemplating Puma vs sportka here. Contemporary write ups seem very positive about the sportka, and there is a certain appeal about it being the more obscure, less obvious choice. Plus I’ve had a Puma 1.7. But the Puma has this great reputation (aside from rust at least) hmmmmm. Anyway I’ve come to an agreement on the mystery car. Think I mislead a bit as when I wrote “longest make model trim designation” I meant more in length on the page rather than duration in the sales brochure.......
