In their own words

Bought as a 2nd car to commute. Around town it's fine, on the motorway/dual carriageway it struggles somewhat. . With only 69bhp you won't be going anywhere quickly. Though if pushed hard,it will allow you stay in the fast lane. Hills are it's nemesis, that's when you find it toils most.
I used to call it mario as when driving it felt like driving a go cart.
Few niggles with car like dash icons glowing faintly. Uses H4 bulbs, which I despise as their one bulb approach is terrible. Canbus errors if you try LED bulbs.

It maybe badged a Ford, but you certainly won't feel like it is a true Ford. The seats are uncomfortable and steering wheel has limited movement and this was the ultimate reason I am parting company with it.
Looking for a cheap to run 1st car? Then it's perfect, but if you are taller than 5'10" I'd steer well clear and go for a fiesta.
