Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

If you buy one go for a fully spec'd version & as new as you can afford. Mine has almost all the optional extras which made the car very expensive but worth it. This car must run on 98/99 ron petrol, runs like a pig on 95 & economy plummets.

How reliable do you find the car?

There is a recall on this model, only for the fitting of an additional fuse to starter. This apparently is to avoid a potential fire is car is cranked exclusively when not starting. Still waiting to have it done. Gearbox software update on first service has improved gear changes & cluncking when selecting drive/reverse. Also suffers from tyre skip on full lock, you have to live with this on low profiles I'm afraid.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Quite a comfortable ride considering, much better than my Fiesta ST. Economy ok if driven carefully which you don't unless in traffic.
