Puma hands down.

Great chasis
good brakes (Alcon 4 pots)
Revvy engine

generally the more fun and exclusive car.

Only down side it they need to be looked after which can sometimes be costly.

SRi Turbo/GSi's are nice cars for cruising around in but if your are after some fun get the Puma

Depends what you want from the car as they are both VERY different kettles of fish.

puma hands down all round better car, rarer, hold their value more, faster overall as it has a better chassis and better brakes. just make sure you get one of the 80 that were made with lsd's and also that the car has recently had a timiing belt change and the calipers have been serviced as they have no dust seals and need doing yearly, the timing belt also needs a special locking tool that not even ford dealers have.
