Fun to drive. Responsive handling.

Great on the flat, but a big fat slug on hills and takes an age to build up speed to overtake!

Living with it
Reliability
Has let me down many times luckily never out on the road!
Image
Good looking sporty little car. Boyfriend says it's girly!
Comfort
Really comfy velour sports seats, but need earplugs for speeds over 50!

Security and Service
Security
Double doorlocks, double immobiliser and alarm so good couldnt drive it when central door locks broke and got threatening notes from neighbours when alarm system went ballistic for three weeks in the heat!
Service
I don't use Ford for parts etc, as get them much cheaper elsewhere.
