Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Summary
What does this car say about you?
Probably that I'm tight - its small, economical and red...the only free colour!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
I know a few people that have bought one, after driving mine.
Would you buy this car again and why?
If I wanted another small car, it would be my first choice, despite the electrical problems. I need a bigger car now, so it will likely be another Ford as I'm not sure I could live without the heated front screen.
What are you likely to buy next?
Probably a Focus or the new Vitara (4wd & £30 a year to tax).

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The 1.0 [125] has all the power needed to overtake on country lanes and easily keeps up with other traffic, quite often catches others out. The handling and ride are good with little wind noise except on the odd occassion when the back seats are down.
What's it like to park?
Dead easy, its a small car and if you can't park it, then it might be time to post your drivers licence back to the DVLA.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Quite a few little things, like the sat nav has packed in twice, the bluetooth has gone, a wiring fault on the rear lights, cruise control with a mind of its own, a wheel bearing at 30k and the volume control on the steering wheel.
What's most practical about your car?
The Ford Sat Nav must be a class leader, far better than anything I used.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The 125 bhp is a jem, but the handling of the Zetec S would have been more fun. Although, the level of standard and available kit on the Titanium more than makes up for it.
