    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent value, although clearly over priced when new.

    Costs

    Always get just over 30mpg, which is excellent for the way I drive!

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good road holding, but a little bit bumpy - not helped by low profile tyres. Braking performance only just adequate.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very torquey engine, with power when you need it. It moves well for the money.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Very good so far, but it is what you would expect from a modern Ford.
