Summary
What does this car say about you?
Both practical and stylish. Colour chosen: black.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Friends etc like it, and prefer it to my previous car which was bigger and a bit 'boring'. Family are less keen because it's smaller and doesn't accommodate kids, dogs and all their paraphernalia quite so well.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, although not from the same dealership. I might buy another. It would depend on alternative options available at the time. I've no brand loyalty to Ford.
What are you likely to buy next?
That will depend on the research I'll carry out at the time and my own personal circumstances (e.g if I'm driving more/less, etc.).
