Economy
Value
A lot of car for your money but a load of problems too.
Costs
Maybe because our car has spent more time in the garage than on the road!

On the road
Driving
Easy to drive, good all round visibility, although the seats uncomfortable on long journeys.
Performance
Very economical to run, not the fastest car on the road but it holds its own. So I'm told anyway. Ours doesn't like roads, I think it has an allergy to them.

Living with it
Reliability
We have had so many problems with this car its untrue. We have had a lack of engine power for about a million years. Took the car to Ford main dealer who were very helpful and said they didn't have a clue. Too many problems to list here.

Feels good to sit above people!
Comfort
As above, OK for short journeys but not that great on long ones. The rear two seats are really only for kids. Very, very small ones. Plus that far back you can't hear them squabble!

Security and Service
Security
Not been nicked, so I guess its OK.
Service
Absolute tosh, if a Ford dealer does not know their own cars what hope is there for the rest of us. My 3yr old daughter picked up more faults with the car than Ford.
