Driving
Excellent, even though it's a big bus.
Performance
At 142 bhp it's not lazy, but it's not exciting either and after a year of station, nursery, office and back again it's still doing 30 mpg.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Not missed a beat even after leaving the lights on all night.
Image
Get over it, it's a Ford, but a very intelligent 2nd hand choice and you'll some respect from your mates once they have seen it, but will they have the nuts to buy one?
Comfort
I'm not sure it could be more comfortable, though the electric seat needs a memory!

Security and Service
Security
Locks, double locks and passive locks after a sensible period and it's not been stolen or broken into.
Service
If the level of service matched this car, the prestige manufacturers would have a problem.
