Comfortable, roomy inside.

bad service from main dealers, expensive for certain parts, as they can only be ford supplied.

Comfortable, roomy inside and provides adequate mpg on a run (I am getting around 400 per tank). Engine can be quite sluggish and needs to be pushed harder for any performance. Can be expensive for parts like suspension bushes, which needs to be changed at around 60k. Downside of mine is an annoying starting problem which has plagued me from when i bought it and electrics which has effected the central locking, windows and radio/cd. These problems are becoming very hard to to track and diagnose.
