Handles quite well round corners, steering precise enough.

Average, you will not need a 'G' suit!

Living with it
Reliability
Absolutely rubbish, the car regularly stalls on idle, sometimes when you turn the key nothing happens, no instrument lights come on and the starter will not crank. You have an intermittent loss of power when driving.
Image
Car looks ok, nice colour Aquafrost.
Comfort
Not enough leg room and I am not tall by any means.

Security
Acceptable
Service
Engine problem, we took the car back to the Ford franchise garage, they were incapable of finding the fault, all they did was plug it into a computer, they didn't replace any parts and said there was not a problem, when clearly there was! (Dodgy dealer!)
