On the road
Driving
Unstable at motorway speeds, lots of vibration and wind noise at all speeds.

Very difficult to get up to 70 and the car does not like to stay there for long.

Living with it
Reliability
It hasn't broken down on me, so pretty good.
Image
Looks like every other car on the road, standard shape.
Comfort
The road vibration is very bad, the seats do not absorb much of it.

Security and Service
Security
Central locking and immobiliser work well.
Service
Ford did the service quickly, but 10,000 miles seems a bit long for the engine to last before it's next service.
