In their own words

On the face of it, a brilliant little hot hatch. Has the Fiesta ST beat in terms of performance and everyday driving but the appalling reliability just makes it a headache to own. I've spent over £3k in 3 years just in repair costs. High pressure and low pressure fuel pumps, thermostat housing, Vanos issues, PCV valve, oil leaks, Coils, camshaft, crankshaft, air and fuel sensors. Shocker tops are made of chocolate and don't last 18 months on UK roads.
Has all the recipes to be a classic hot hatch but all the fun and smiles are few and far between because it'll spend more time in the garage than on the road.
