-
Economy
Value
Excellent value for money - a better car than a Golf and £3,000 cheaper second-hand for comparable models.
Costs
Ford Rapid Fit 10,000-mile service was £70 inc synthetic oil. Front tyres wear quickly - less than 20,000 miles.

Driving
Still enjoyable after one year's ownership and 16,000 miles.
Performance
Keep it spinning between 3,000 and 4,500 revs and it flies.
