Depreciates quickly. Insurance not bad but labour for repair is expensive!

Living with it
Reliability
No problems until the clutch went.
Image
Very stylish, but newer models are nicer looking, though.
Comfort
Adjustable lumbar and height on driver's seat means you can be in the perfect position. Lovely on long drives. Definately worth the GLX's uprated upholstery.

Security and Service
Security
Standard-fit alarm and immobiliser. Fine once we worked out how to set it…
Service
Very expensive. Came out with more faults than it went in with, though - local garages cheaper and more reliable.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Rocker gasket was leaking into spark plugs. Ford unknowingly fixed this, as we found when we walked away at their quote to repair!
Other
Clutch almost gone, very expensive to replace as the driveshaft and subframe have to come out to replace it!
