    Cheap, with a high spec. Good VFM.

    No worse than average - it's a Ford.

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Fun to drive in 1st and 2nd gears.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Reasonable accelleration, but doesn't feel happy at over a ton.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    A few things have needed replacing, but it is 7yrs old.

    It gets the looks, with second rear spoiler and alloys!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Those wing back seats are marvellous and still firm.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    I've added an alarm, immobiliser and Disklok - standard system poor.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Ford dealerships and rapid fit centres are USELESS.
