Excellent value (fully loaded). Got to see it to believe it.

Have an AA or RAC inspection before purchase, as parts are quite pricey.
-
On the road
Driving
Smooth and relaxing.
Performance
Wave good bye to the boy racers when you hit the kick down. Oh, that Cosworth magic.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Solid and very reliable.
Image
Not the best thing Ford have designed, but it is a wolf in sheeps clothing. The nice alloys do give it character.
Comfort
Driving around in a big leather arm chair. Need I say more?
-
Security and Service
Security
Good high tech security system, though still nickable. Consider having Tracker fitted.
Service
Get car service from private source. Ford ripped me off on the first service and they wrongly diagnosed a fault that they quoted would cost £500, when in fact it only cost me £15 from elswhere.
