Driving it
What's it like to drive?
For a BIG car I was suprised, I had it a few weeks and i had put off going into a round about at speed. My mate begged me to do it, saying it would hold so reluctantly i hit the round about at 50 and it went round like it was on rails (this is not somthing i do regularly, but for test purposes worth while ;-) The aceleration is brilliant, usual fast ford needs some reving to get it going but it will blow most cars away. On the motorway it is brilliant!!! You just need to keep an eye on the speedo or you will be doing 140+, which will not go down well with the police. The only gripe is that the clutch is heavy so when stuck in loads of trafic it can be a pain.
What's it like to park?
not to bad for a big car, steerings really precise so usually goes striaght in

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
heated leather seats, climate and ESP off
