Summary
What does this car say about you?
Either I chose a good car, or I have no imagination because they are everywhere!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
So far I've received nice comments from family and friends. Not sure if the neighbours really care!
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. But would prefer the 1.0T 125 (if it gave real world better economy) and a 5dr.
What are you likely to buy next?
Unsure.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
No surprises - it's great. The engine is really keen, and revs very sweetly. It's a quick little car when you work it. The steering has plenty of feedback, and the car feels stable and planted on the road. The gearbox is precise. It's fairly comfortable and it is refined. A sixth gear would be nice though, as it revs at 3'100 at 70MPH. I get 35MPG on average (my commute is mostly slow rush hour traffic).
What's it like to park?
Easy. This one has parking sensors which does help because the rear window is a little on the small side. But it wouldn't be difficult without them!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes. The drivers seat height adjustment... after a couple of hours the seat works its way down to the bottom, so i have to move it back up again. I'm not that heavy! Need to call Ford to see if it's under warranty. Other than that, nothing in the couple of months I've had it so far.
What's most practical about your car?
The boot is a good size and folding the rear seats are easy, but being the 3dr it isn't the most practical car ever.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Mine has the heater leather seats which are great.
