Too much vibration, even the steering and gear handle vibrates very heavy.
Cabin noise is very high even you can't hear the stereo.
Seats are not comfortable at all.
You can hear engine noise in the cabin.
Suspension is very poor on bumpy road.
AC is not effective. With AC running the pickup of the car is very slow and vibration is very high.
Very bizarre back seats cannot be folded. don't know how Fords sell??
Nice looking exterior and interior.
Honda's Zetec engine is the only good thing in this car which given excellent pickup.
Good stereo system.
Honda had nothing whatsoever to do with the Zetec engine. This unit was designed and built entirely by Ford. In fact, Honda have never collaborated with Ford.
The later, smaller capacity Zetec SE units were co-developed with Yamaha, which could be where you are getting confused.
