    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Great value for money as it is equipped with so many extras such as electric leather seats, CD autochanger and air conditioning.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Extremely thirsty but well worth it as it looks great!

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Effortless driving with an excellent driving position that gives a good clear view of the road. Even possible to drive with right leg in plaster as the pedals are not too close together!

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Considering it's size it has plenty of power and acceleration whilst still being very quiet.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Never let me down and always starts first time - just perfect.

    Looks great and definately turns heads as you do not see many on our roads.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Fantastic on long hauls, just like being in your armchair. Greatly loved by Ben & Roxy - my two dogs!

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Standard immobiliser and very loud alarm. Remote locking can cause problems near high radio emmisions.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Difficult to find a garage to service this vehicle apart from a main Ford dealer.
