What does this car say about you?

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

Good legroom in the rear seats, even for people over 6ft - surprising for a small car.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would probably buy this car again but I would see if there was a comparable make which has less engine noise.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another Ford

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£8,995

When did you buy the car?

September 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

I bought just as the new shape was being brought out meaning a nice discount for a brand new car. Because of this, however, there was no choice of specs.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Cheap to ensure & run

What was the dealer like?

Very helpful, not pushy.

What's it like to drive?

Noisy when idle, especially with air-con on. Do tend to feel all bumps in the road. High seating position means good visibility.

What's it like to park?

Very easy due to good visibility.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Plastic door trim on rear passenger door has come away slightly and catches on the drivers door when it is opened.

What's most practical about your car?

Nippy in urban areas and on motorways. Good visibility all round so easy to park.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Heated front windscreen clears misty screen within seconds. Good audio system.
