Independent

No
What price did you pay?
£10,000

September 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes because it was a trade-in at a Ford Dealers and they wanted to off-load it,.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
It is built like the Yamato; heavy, rigid safe and sturdy. It is very well equipped; sunroof and air-con and exclusive; less than a thousand on the roads now.
What was the dealer like?
Polite, personable and professional.
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very quiet, surefooted and refined. You can tootle and waft about, or the baseball cap can reverse and it will dance. Very much a sophisticated cruiser rather than a rally slag.
What's it like to park?
I have electromagnetic parking sensor all round so it is easy. It has quite a large turning circle, however the smooth clutch and throttle and great visibility offset this.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
It has never failed to proceed.
What's most practical about your car?
The 4WD system. It is a true all season vehicle; brilliant in the rain and with winter tyres virtually unstoppable in the snow. You can also drop the back seats; with a little modification, you just need to add the release handles and cables.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The X-Carlink allows hands free calls, iPod, MP3, SD card etc connectivity.
