The Fiesta & Mazda 2 share the same platform, but that is we’re it ends.Nothing else is shared with these two.Ford sold all its remaining shares in Toyo Kogyo in 2015. The Puma is based on the 7th generation Fiesta platform(Ford global B-car platform).Absolutely no similarities @ all.CX3 is based on the Mazda2 platform.

So
Fiesta and Mazda 2 share the same platform.
cx3 is based on mazda 2 platform.
Puma is based on Fiesta platform.
Did you mean 7th gen Fiesta no longer shares platform with Mazda 2 so relationship ceased.
Neighbour has a cx3 cant get over how much styling is similar to Puma.

Yes, yes & yes.Puma is in no way related to the CX3.Any similarities is purely coincidence.Puma is based on the 7th gen Fiesta platform.So, you can see why in many ways that why Ford ‘canned’ Fiesta production.

Mazda 2 changed to the sky active 3 platform in 2014. Fiesta continued on the still very good Fiesta/2 B platform.
