Good Points

Good forward visability, Great driving position, Smooth gearbox and also handling.

Boot space, rear leg room, head room and in car storage space.


Bad Points

Rear visibility, A little under powered, the engine is relatively noisy under load and also at higher speeds.


General Comments

After only having the car a short while I thought it best to give my "first" impressions.

Prior to this I owned a 1998 Puma and I have to say this is a massive improvement in many ways, the ride quality is far superior and also the road noise despite still being high is much reduced.

This car handles superbly and is a great town car whilst offering sufficient performance to cope with the motorway/twisties, I use this car everyday and find the seats to be a little bit on the uncomfortable side after a while, however, the driving position is brilliant. It's high and you don't at all feel exposed.

Load space is brilliant, with a good sized boot.

All in all a brilliant piece of kit that I would recommend to everyone.

I feel I should also mention that mine has 140K on the clock and my friends has 70K on the clock.... Both drive as new and still feel as "tight" as the day he picked his up from Ford brand new..... BRILLIANT CARS!
