Performance and fuel economy are erratic (no fault found by dealer).
The quality of materials used for the interior is fairly poor. The upholstery and carpet is difficult to keep clean.
Handling is very good, steering very responsive with an excellent turning circle which, along with superb all round visibility, makes parking very easy.
Extremely spacious inside considering it's based on a Fiesta.
