    Suspension irons out some bumps, but others annoy.

    Image

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Image still strong although some are neglected, which is a shame.

    Very comfortable for such a basic car. Not much adjustment though.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Low security rating means they are prime suspects for thieves, unless you put an alarm or immobiliser on like I did.

    Very good service from Ford.
