What a car this is, I had a 2.0 SE which gave my mates fiesta St a run for its money, the car for a saloon handled like a dream in every corner. and is very quick I accomplished a 0-60 in 8.1 seconds which is about 0.8 seconds slower than my mates ST. Plus all the boy racers never bother you as you look like an undercover police car cause mine of all colours was metallic black, a beautiful colour for a car like this. there is so much leg room in the back seats great for a family of 5 easy with enough boot room for 2 large suitcases 2 carryalls 4 small hand luggages (I swear I have got all this in due to a trailer rent mishap) and still with all this would climb the dreaded 3 3/4 mile drag on the M62 near Huddersfield. so this car has it all the room the power and the fact if you a family guy or have loads of friends would be the best car for you.
The only 2 things I ever found wrong with this is.
1. The gear box gaiter wears off with quick with a lot of town driving.
2. Has the reputation of being the so called OLD MANS CAR
Definite buy for anyone who wants a big car or just wants comfort. But looking at statistics if your more of a town driver you can get 33MPG but I would go for the 1.9D SE model diesel which is around 50MPG.
