Summary
What does this car say about you?
It makes me feel middle aged.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They liked it until i started having problems, now they wont get in it for fear of being stranded!
Would you buy this car again and why?
I bought this Ford due to the large load space in a hatchback , and is the first Ford i have owned in 13 years, i wouldnt buy this car again due to the current issues, and it has put me off Ford's, i know that not all fords are like this but i cant help it.
What are you likely to buy next?
I would like a Vauxhall Omega Estate CDX 98 onwards, would like a 2.0 but they seem quite rare at this spec so will probably have to get a 2.5 V6 model.
