It might have gold wheels and a racing stripe, but is the new Ford Puma ST Gold Edition really worth the extra outlay? We've been finding out
Even so, you can’t avoid the fact that, underneath, you’re still paying extra money for a Puma ST with the optional ST Performance pack, which adds a limited-slip differential, launch control and a performance shift indicator. That’s not a bad thing, because we rather like the standard Puma ST – so much so that we named itUnfortunately, by the time Ford managed to get a Gold Edition to us, all 999 cars had already been sold, so you can no longer buy a bespoke one from Ford.
The Puma ST Gold Edition is also more involving and generally better to drive. For starters, the Kona N comes with a dual-clutch automatic gearbox, where the Puma ST gets a six-speed manual 'box with a short throw between gears and well-chosen gear ratios. It’s a pleasure to use. The goodies added by the ST Performance pack are key to that predictability, making them welcome standard features on the Gold Edition. In fact, the pack is an option that we already suggest adding to the standard Puma ST.
