    Value

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Get ripped off when bought from a Ford dealer, I paid way over the odds for mine. Second hand market a better bet.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Insurance not to bad, only a group 8. Heavy on juice when you put your foot down!

    Great to drive, good handling and quite comfortable.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Loads of fun! Excellent of the mark, 120mph top end! Despite what the figures say, this car is quicker than Saxo VTR - take my word for it!

    Fords are a good car, but wasn't happy with the after sale service at Jennings. Staff didn't really want to know.
