    Mine was a tad expensive at £6k, but I didn't haggle... haggle people!

    4 out of 5 4.0

    35-40mpg. Much better than my previous 1.6 Escort.

    Fun, fun, fun!

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Will lose most cars off mark. VTRs are no trouble... best top end so far is 115 on the digital speedo (dial was reading 120).

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Had 1 prob the day after I got it, but other than that it's very reliable.

    Image

    Cool looking car, although it's developed an image of a girl's car.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Poor. Sport seats are crap. Invest in some real seats.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Can't comment really - hasn't been broken into yet. Alarm, immobiliser and remote double locking sounds good though.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very, very helpful (Benfield Ford Leeds).

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Ignition coil was misfiring the day after I got the car. Was replaced straight away with no hassle at all.
