You'll find it hard to find an alternative car with so many toys for the money.
Costs
Servicing and parts reasonable. Terrible depreciation, don't buy new!

On the road
Driving
Good handling, very agile for such a big car. Poor rear visibility when parking.
Performance
Engine pulls well, even with five adults on board. I Imagine the V6 handles extra power easily.

Living with it
Reliability
Niggly faults, mechanically sound though.
Image
Too common (but so is a 3-series BMW or Audi A4!) The Ford badge will never win the snobs over, even if it is the top of the range model.
Comfort
Great leather seats, the driver's is adjustable in every way. Good driving position and well laid-out cabin. Can take 5 adults and luggage on a long journey very comfortably.
