Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Fantastic. Surprisingly zippy for a 1.25 when you put your foot down. Goes as fast as any other car on the motorway. This model has a 16V Zetec-S engine.
What's it like to park?
Brilliant, fits in tiny spaces and very easy to manouver!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing at all. Zero problems. 100% reliable. And it's 7 years old! Fantastic car. Very impressed with Fords as a result.
What's most practical about your car?
It's easy to park and fit through small spaces but isn't too small overall compared with other small cars. It's also very economic, cheap to insure, tax and service. Also cheap to change the cam belt. Ideal first car for someone.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Air conditioning - a must have as the summers are getting hotter! Alloys also make it look smarter. I also like the bigger headlights compared with the previous model.
