    Doesn't use much fuel - about 350 miles a tank.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Pretty good, very scary above 70 though!

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Alright for a 1.1, acceleration is a bit slow, but you get there eventually.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Has only let me down once due to spark plugs, other than that it runs great.

    The standard one looks okay I think, although the wing mirrors look huge. Easy to replace most parts with better models.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Pretty good. Seats aren't exactly an armchair, but comfortable enough.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    What security! No alarm or immobiliser, plain old Ford locks! I recommend fitting a good alarm.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    None recieved.
