Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Worthless on a trade in. Sell privately.
Costs
Servicing at main dealer inexpensive.
-
On the road
Driving
With standard suspension tends to be 'wollowy' on tight bends. Uprated springs makes the difference.
Performance
Once over 3000rpm, a smile comes to your face as it perks up and say hello.
-
Living with it
Reliability
40000 trouble free miles. Only a battery and tyres to date.
Image
Doesn't have that boy-racer image so much as the XR3i did. Stylish RS body kit makes it stand out from the LX!
Comfort
On long journeys the seats can become a bit uncomfy.
-
Security and Service
Security
Well only a standard Cat 2 immobiliser and alarm. Get a Rockweiler in there or upgrade the alarm.
Service
My main Ford dealer are the only garage that I trust to work on my car.
