All in all this is a great car. It's designed for the family that has 3 kids and needs to transport all their rubbish around as well. When the kids aren't in the car, it delivers as a fine driving machine as well. Quality is good, not quite as good as a BMW but MUCH better than I was expecting from a Ford. It's economical - 45mpg for this size of car is amazing. It also has plenty of go, my 1.8TDCi isn't slow but if you need more get the 2.0TDCi. I have no problem recommending this car.
