Nothing major, just regular servicing and consumables, like tyres.

The size, great for day to day driving, not too big to be heavy or hard work, but when needed the capacity is just mind blowing, my little focus has moved house, with the seats down it's the size of a small van and taken 3 adults, 2 dogs and camping equipment for all on holiday, comfortably..

Car didn't come with many extra's.
