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.

Ford, you have stuck gold with this one! As someone who hates MPVs with a passion, I love this one! The styling is fantastic the grunt is life changing and the build quality is bang on. it looks like a van with windows granted but it handles like a focus and for its size it goes like nothing I have ever driven before. Well done ford you did good!!
