Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Excellent, ford really pulled out the stops with this car...could have a bit more power and a sixth gear would really help as engine rev's are quite high at motorway speeds....almost 3.5K at 70 mph.
What's it like to park?
Easy peezy....however turning cirle could be better.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Passenger door sometimes has trouble closing due to door seal...sometimes requires a firmer second attempt. 'Braking system Malfunction' error on display...slight intermitant software error, waiting to hear about an update from ford.
What's most practical about your car?
Everything! good rear legroom/headroom, decent sized boot
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Got to be the street package...side skirts and 17" alloys really make the car.
