Great looking car, especially for a mega-practical load-lugger. Fast, incredibly sure-footed and fun to drive. Great for B road blasts or for transporting fridge-freezers or towing heavy trailers. Near petrol refinement yet 500 miles on a £50 tankful. Minuses are climate control that can't keep same temperature, dashboard that beeps with every button pressed and penny-pinching interior (non-illuminated window switches, no rubber mats in door bins etc). Would I have another? Without hesitation!
I bought this car because I wanted a bigger vehicle than my previous Focus with a bit more exclusivity. The car itself is pretty and great to drive. It's effectively a Mondeo in a better looking body and drives like a Ford too. I went for the more powerful 136bhp engine for more grunt and it delivers. The only downside for me is the noisy diesel engine and the not-so-comfortable seats - but would I buy another? Definitely...
