Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
25k+ is a lot of money when new, especially as the technology is very old (Montego/Maestro switchgear on a 55 plate car!).
Costs
12k service and brakes pads need doing now at 18k.

On the road
Driving
Rides well, but handling is stodgy and there is very little feel, grips well and understeers when pushed.
Performance
Fine in town and up to 40mph but really struggles as a motorway fast lane vehicle, (to be expected though), because of low down torque.

Living with it
Reliability
I am amazed how well it's done. No faults, even though car has done 18k in 4 months! Much better than the early cars.
Image
Looks much better than it drives and as SUV's go it isn't offensive.
Comfort
Nice vehicle to cruise in due to ride and its not even that noisy.

Security and Service
Security
I've had no problems Alarm and immobiliser are standard.
Service
They wash it every time it goes into the garage. I don't pay service bills, I don't think they are cheap!
