The rear view mirror constantly fell off. In the end I simply did not bother to stick it back up.
The drivers seat fold down cable broke. I did not fix it as I never used it.
The rear lights kept on failing due to moisture on the boot electrical connection plates. Kept at bay with WD40.
After driving in the wet it would often stall when waiting at lights or junctions and sometimes would not start due to damp getting in the ignition parts. This was treated 12 times by a main ford dealer and never cured.
God I hated this car! This car was so basic I am surprised they even bothered to fit seats!
A horrid thing to drive with no power steering or ABS, on a 1997 car!
Infact the only good thing I will say about it is that it was very economical and it kept me dry in the rain... If it started!
It would be a good first buy if you are new to motoring, but to be honest you would be better off buying a Clio or similar instead of this rubbish!
I'm just curious to know why you didn't test drive it before buying.
