The passenger side window would not shut properly.
The engine is now ticking over somewhere between 2000 and 3000 revs, due to something breaking in the throttle. Still waiting for that to be fixed.
The odometer blanks out on a fairly regular basis.
The handling and braking are outstanding, and it looks great - especially the huge wheels.
I do think it could do with a bit more power. 0-60 in 10 seconds isn't very impressive, and there isn't much oomph after 70mph on the motorway, although it cruises extremely nicely.
Give it some welly lad - then you'll see what it can do. I feel you have to push it quite far to get the best out of it. Get that needle in the red zone!!!
Couldn't agree more! (to the above) although there isn't a red line. It gives optimum power at about 6800 rpm so push it all the way. It flies when it gets going. 3rd all the way up to 6800, superb mid-range pick up.
I also have to agree with the two comments above with the engine screeming it is a hoot to drive and it embarrases a lot of other cars on the track I regularly get dirty looks.

I've got a 2000 X Reg Zetec S and the Odometer keeps blanking out as well. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? I haven't managed to pin-point any regularity to it either.
