Paid a little over the odds for second hand, but had good mileage

Generally cheap - The most I've ever got out of a tank is 270 miles but the most I've ever paid to fill it up is £27.

On the road
Driving
Good fun to drive and handles well. A little sloppy acceleration at higher speeds, but what do you expect from a small car?
Performance
Nice and nippy - get a lot of satisfaction beating most big cars off the line.
-
Living with it
Reliability
I've had the battery replaced, but besides that, starts first time every time.
Image
As I said before, not many miles out of a tank in comparison to other cars, but you pay less to fill up.
Comfort
Very comfortable as the driver and I don't find being tall a problem - however, very limted space behind the driver's seat.

Security and Service
Security
Can't complain - only no remote control!
Service
Can't complain - I've got reduced service and free MOT for a few years.

I found the battery was dead/ faulty 6 months after purchasing it - Ford wouldn't cover it so had to pay for a new one. Not sure what caused it.
