Good Points

Without doubt, the engine. It can poodle around town on tickover.


Bad Points

Multi-story parking spaces, any rust needs to be caught early. Few trim niggles,and I have to say-the 500 boot badge can make other drivers seem more aggresive. Helpfull hint is to relax your driving style, comfortable in the knowledge that you're only letting them overtake because you're allowing them to. Don't blow your hard earnt licence on a stupid light get-away.


General Comments

A fabulous "Drivers" car. Take your friends out and enjoy. When you have one of these and are using it just for fun, you remember how much pleasure can be achieved from a car. Do it while you can, be seen as wicked and interesting and stop talking to your mates about mpg. Pay a neighbour a few quid now and then to keep it from the fiends and their keys (mine are very happy to have such a machine on their driveway). A roads are so smooth,click into sport mode and the V8 starts working properly-what a feeling! As for motorways,well all I can say is it dissolves them.Everyone should experience this once.Limit your mileage for ins. purposes,and used wisely becomes an absolute treat!Spend Fiesta money, keep for a year-service/tax/mot it enjoy the ferrocious power of the mid eighties company-directors car,then sell for the same price! telling the next lucky buyer to do the same.These are proper cars-keep the eurobox for shopping!
