    What does this car say about you?

    Nothing.

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

    NA

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    I would by the range above Zetec or Titanium. The LX is very spartan, no extras, very basic.Interior was quite drab, and the MPG was awful. Manufacture quotes 40mpg for 1.8, I rarely got more than 30mpg even with very conservative driving. Cost to tax was extortionate too.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    I bought a Fiesta Style+ TDCi.
