Summary
What does this car say about you?
Driving enthusiast with the responsibility of a baby on the way. It is very stylish and M3/M5 aside is more characterful than the competing BMWs in the 3 and 5 series range.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
It looks much better than the standard Mondeo, just as all hot hatches are designed to be that bit 'special'.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes - it is a grown up hot hatch with fine handling, good performance, very nice suede/leather interior with fine detailing and looks the part on the exterior. It also carries 5 adults with ease.
What are you likely to buy next?
Ford Focus RS, Honda Civic Type R when the children are old enough to get in the back themselves as these are both 3 door cars.
