  • Summary

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Nothing, it can't talk, neither could Herbie come to think of it though Kit could but I'm even a little dubious of him too...

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    More interested in latest fridge freezers and washing machines, gardening, snooker and other sundry peasants pastimes.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes. As good as it gets. Best car since my Imp Sport.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Perhaps give an 'ST' a go but being Silver Surfer's we don't particularly like the square wheels. Otherwise another Zetec S with a mild Mountune tune....'Play it Again Sam'.
