Driving
The car handles well but suspension does not soak up the humps, bumps and potholes
Performance
1.4 16 valve engine ok, once you get up to 50 mph, although noisy getting there. Dies on inclines when fully loaded

Too soon to comment
Image
Good, clean lines. Looks smart in 3 door version
Comfort
Excellent leg and head room for a car this size, air conditioning is a must in warm weather and performs well. Badly let down by road and wind noise. Have Ford even tried to sound insulate this model?

Security
Perimeter alarm is not activated if side windows broken. No interior sensor.
