Nice little reliable car
None.
This car is fast for its size and well capable of 100 mph. There is a lot of noise when travelling at 50+.
The interior is comfortable for a car its size. The car is suprisingly uneconomical for its size and uses more petrol than I imagined.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Nippy without the air conditioning on!
No problems really apart from it has a bit of trouble getting into reverse, which I am going to discuss with my dealer.
It's a good, nippy little car, got it upto 90-something miles an hour and it doesn't even shake! Woohoo!
I think the seat height adjustment should be electric. Why do it if it's not electric!!??
Air con kills the acceleration. When air con is on, it takes a while to get a bit of speed up. Very annoying.

Wouldn't want another even if it was given to me! Three years after buying it I added up the receipts of getting it fixed - £1200 not including bits and pieces and lost receipts! Head gasket went after having it for just 2 years - Ford paid half the bill, still had to find £200 myself! Whatever you do don't go for an options deal - complete waste of money - although it sounds good at first. Can't wait to part exchange it - next car Citroen Saxo Furio!

Over a year on, after this review.. I have had more problems... a leak on the passenger door. Dealers deny all. try and fix it, don't do anything, still leaked.
Tried to charge me, it was only a year old in march! Pillar stickers are now peeling off, making it look rubbish, and now it has been recalled so I have to take it back in again...
This car is falling to bits slowly, but surely... only a year and a half old.. owned since new. Will never buy a ford again. Ever.
