    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not so good if brought from Ford.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Fuel economy good, but would expect better.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good handling. Put S40 and A4 to shame. Good on motorway and xc roads.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    After running in, engine has good low-down torque for hills and just enough performance to put a smile on the driver. More responsive than 1.3 Fiesta.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Only a few hiccups. Old engine design, so serviced every 5000 miles for peace of mind.

    Mixed. Called girly, until people take it for a steer. Beginning to see more and more modified with good results, unlike Vauxhall Nova.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Supportive seats, not bad in back once in. Better than 206 in the back. Durable Materials.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Would like an alarm.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good overall, (brooklyn, Reddich), bit uneasy on giving courtesy cars to 18 year olds (with good reason!)
