Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes,with all the extras this car would have been over £10,000 on a Ford forcourt.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

It looked good and wanted something that would be cheap to run,also all the gadgets.

What was the dealer like?

MMmm could have been better.

What's it like to drive?

It holds the road well,however the set up of the suspension and low profile tyres make the car rumble through steering at 60+ MPH. Which makes driving on motorways and duel carriageways not a pleasant experience, also humps and bumps on the road are hit hard, its not a sports model so why give it sports suspension. The seats are comfy and most things are within easy reach except the light switch which seems in an awkward position especially fog light button,all in all to much though had gone into the fancy gadgets and styling and not so much into driver comfort.

What's it like to park?

Very easy to park ultra light steering,maybe sometimes to light.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing so far,but only had it a week and would not expect a 2.5 year old car to go wrong.

What's most practical about your car?

I love the keyless and push button start, i also like bluetooth phone connection but can be a bit fiddle, gives good MPG but not anyway near what Ford claim.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Push button start and Keyless entry.
