Fantastic second hand buy. Depreciation on new list price is savage.
Costs
No surprises so far.

Driving
For a family car, chassis is excellent. Zetec-S has sports suspension so corners flat and hard. In the dry you'll run out of nerve before this mody runs out of grip!
Performance
130bhp TDCI is wicked. It's the torque that does the damage. Effortless in-gear acceleration in third and forth with transient overboost facility on turbo. Can also be taken to the redline without any noticeable drop off in power.

Living with it
Reliability
It's a Ford, innit..
Image
Suppose it's a bit of a repmobile. 18"" alloys and bodykit make it look muscular.
Comfort
Very good for long or short journeys. Seats are not the best, but certainly more than acceptable at this price level.
