What's it like to drive?

Its an excellent town car, easily keeping pace, and tto be honest on the motorway it cruises along at 80 very happilly. It's true that you do need to keep the revs up, and hills do scare it, but this engine really doesnt deserve the slating it gets! It handles well, as you'd expect from a Ford and is quite emtertaining to drive.

What's it like to park?

Very easy to park, ith good visibility and adequately light power steering.

Have you had any problems with the car?

no, its been an excellent little car, (touch wood). A couple of odd rattle, but it seems to be very well put together.

What's most practical about your car?

its a 5 door model which is very useful

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

it doesnt really come with much, but the alloy wheels as standard do look good!
