£0

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Auto gearbox is very smooth in comparison to previous car. Plenty of power available but straightforward (so far) to achieve over 40 MPG.
What's it like to park?
Car is narrower than previous, quite easy to park. Didn't want to wait for a new build with reversing camera, but rear sensors work fine. Front end is invisible, but MUCH shorter than expected, so problems there...
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No
What's most practical about your car?
Doors! The rear sliding doors and lack of B-pillar are not a gimmick, but genuinely useful for loading the car, particularly in confined places.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Unexpectedly enjoying the Ford Sync connectivity with my somewhat low function phone. Plays music via bluetooth seemlessly!
