Did you get a good deal and why?

No - This car cost me £8000 and has had nothing but problems.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I thought Ford was a reliable company and that the car would be good value for money... WRONG!

What was the dealer like?

I got the car from Ford in Falkirk and have to say their service department is very, very poor. I'll explain more in the other sections.

What's it like to drive?

I've driven better.

What's it like to park?

Poor visibility both with hard and soft top.

Have you had any problems with the car?

YES!!!! Just after I bought the car in April: 1. Electric wing mirrors did not work 2. Windscreen seals were coming off 3. Glovebox broke 4. Bleeping noise when going over bumps when soft top down. (and couple other things). May 2008 - Driver door handle broke! This had to be replaced. August 2008 - windscreen seals have so far been replaced twice and off again. September 2008 - I broke down 1 hour away from home. The ALTERNATOR had failed and requires replacement. I had to be towed back to the Ford garage. Bonnet Lever also broke this night and the AA man had to remove the lever to gain access to the release mechanism. The windscreen seals are now off again and door handle still not completely right despite all these things supposidly getting changed.

What's most practical about your car?

Nothing!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Heated seats were ok for the time I tried them but have hardly had the car since I bought it 6 months ago.
