Living with it
Reliability
It has been in and out of the garage and last time was in there for 8 weeks as nobody (inc Ford) could fix it. In the end a top engineer from Ford HQ came out to it and basically put a new ecu and engine in the car. They can't say the problem is solved
Image
It's a family car so it isn't going to have the wow factor
Comfort
The only plus point to this car
-
Security and Service
Service
When the car broke down the service was very poor, it took them 4 weeks to give me a replacement car to use while they repaired mine. When I spoke to them on the phone they were disinterested and snotty. Aviod Ford HQ at all costs.
