Value
Not bad for a reasonably-sized car.
Costs
Fordie bits 'cheap as chips'. Might need loads of them though!

On the road
Driving
Yawn!
Performance
What a pile of pooh! 1.4 totally gutless! Will sit on motorway happily at 90, but takes 2 weeks to get there and any overtaking moves are scary!

Living with it
Reliability
Now done 110,000 miles and breaking down and spluttering daily. Up to 100,000 had no problems whatsoever.
Image
Not bad. Definitely better than an Escort of the same year!
Comfort
Seats ok, driving position ain't bad.

Security and Service
Security
Factory alarm total waste of time!
Service
Ow! My wallet! Oh and my local dealer has never once replied to any emails or letters. T*$TS!!
