Very budget feeling car, no character. Road noise is highly audible. Handling is not best.

The 1.6 engine is not the best engine I've come across. Although it accelerates with ease.

Reliability
Lot's of things going wrong, engine had misfire after 3 days of ownership. Gearbox had to be replaced, and front bumper trim fell off. That's Ford for you!

Everyone owns one, all Ford's bland and plasticy.

Cheap seats, awful plastic interior. Driving position is uncomfortable.
