Not bad, but try and trade back to Ford and they offered me less than half price when the vehicle was only 10 months old

Performance

Reliability
The engine management module blew in the first month of having the car from new, it took Fords two months to await a new module due to this car having the new engine and no spares available
Image
Not the best, but its only for commuting to work as a second car
Comfort
Good soft seats no problems

Security and Service
Security
I've had mine broken into and the cd stolen, the doors peel back from the top to easy
Service
The first years service was £130 this was infact to change the oil no filters or plugs changed so yep expensive oil change, however the justify the price by stating everything else is "checked"
