Great equipment as standard for the price.

Nothing yet in the way of parts, still under warranty. 38-42 mpg on a long run, 33-36 round town. Not bad for a 1.8.

Reliability
Oh dear. Electric window safety switch failed, brake discs skimmed by dealer as brakes were juddering, parcel shelf rattling and clips were replaced to no avail then fixed at 2nd attempt, 2 new rear wheel bearings and its only done 24k.

Never stared longingly at it from the window but not bad.
Comfort
Average. Not as good as Mondeo.
