Economy
Value
Bargain cars, saw a 1.8td for sale for £795, fsh and 43k on the clock (96n). Pick them up dirt cheap, run for ever if looked after, great value for money.
Costs
Ford parts are cheap, and not too much goes seriously wrong.

On the road
Driving
Very comfortable, good all round car, smooth and roomy, now you see why its was a class leader.
Performance
Not too bad, engine is a bit gutless (113bhp) but does its job well, not quite as refined as some but will go on even if abused.

Living with it
Reliability
2 rear bearings in 40k of driving (108k on the clock) and apart from the odd service (10k) and some small wear and tear parts it was good.

Security and Service
Security
Not up to much really, immobiliser ok but no alarm.
Service
Used a ford garage once, seems if its not new they dont give a damn, used my normal garage who always give a damn and put customer satisfaction first.
