What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Would you buy this car again and why?

50/50 my friends drive Honda's and i'm tempted to try a Jap car as there's drive real well and they say they never break at all, but if anyone reads this i cant fault the little ford at all its only the state of the roads that have caused me to have wear and tear issues but these can happen to any car.

What are you likely to buy next?

Ford or something Jap. what i'm saving in fuel and tax against my old bullet proof focus 1.6 petrol i'm spending in parts and garage bills, so i'm not going to let the price of tax and mpg figures rule when i buy my next car.

Wear and tear bits rear shocker rear wheel bearings, coolant hose split turbo hose split but now the steering rack is on its way out but the roads in my region are disgusting pothole ridden messes so i cant blame the car at all, the 1.4TDCI engine and everything else is tip top!!

The rear load space for a 3 door when the rear seats are folded flat.
