Have you had any problems with the car?
car itself was ok,the paintwork was shocking!-about 2 months after taking delivery,blisters appeared over the roof-after 4 months the whole car was covered.After a lot of e-mails to and from ford,they agreed to re-spray part of the affected area-subject to a further inspection from RAC-who decided it was "atmospheric fallout"so the claim was declined.The car stays in a garage all week,only comes out at weekend so i dont know what the"fall out" was,but the car is a mess!
What's most practical about your car?
Everything but paintwork
