Review

Running Costs5 out of 5

Low depreciation and potentially reasonable fuel economy - around 30mpg - should mean running costs on a par with a mainstream family saloon. Insurance costs should be reasonable too, with many specialist brokers offering reasonable quotes on lower-powered versions like the Roadsport 150.

Servicing is every 6,000miles, and the Ford engine should prove tough and easy to maintain. Expenses will creep in if the Seven is damaged, though.
