    OK they're quite cheap, but they depreciate really quickly.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Petrol not great. Had old shape micra before and that was far better on costs. Steering column replaced at 60k miles. Check other reviews, many mention this fault. Ford would have you believe 'this never happens' as my local dealer said.

    Driving

    Not the most responsive drive. Got to work at it.

    OK for town driving. Did OK on motorway but not fab.

    Girly. Studenty. Not 'look at me'. Bought it as I'm a student and it was a cheap option

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    I'm 5ft 5 and manage OK, but taller drivers are like sardines.
