Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I like cars that don't break the bank but have a good mix of practicality, performance and economy.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Like it. Mum with mobility problems likes that she can get into it easily - wide door opening.
Would you buy this car again and why?
I would. I did look around for a newer, diesel, 5 door model. But prices remain quite high. Moved onto a focus mainly for improved economy and space. As well as similar age Fiestas being more expensive.

Have already bought a Ford Focus.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Fantastic to drive. Very easy to drive around town, was the perfect car for learning in, but also held up well on the motorway. Ford are well regarded when it comes to handling and this car was no exception. Small engine but very determined, took it up mountains and through roads that had turned to rivers in Wales. Never let me down.
What's it like to park?
Easy

Decent sized boot for a car of its size and car quite flexible inside. Surprised me when we moved into a new house how much I was able to cram in.
