About me:

Im a 25 year old graduate who works in the Insurance Industry.

Reviews:5

Ive owned my car now for 2 years. It still looks sharp and pretty especially for a 8 year old car.

I have the 1.6 Zetec engine and must say i find it to be perfect, reasonably economic if driven sensibly, a comfortable on or around motorway spped limits, quick when pushed and its started first time everytime. overall cannoit fault the engine at all its even quiet.

the suspension is dated and not up to modern cars standards. its bumpy and you feel speed bumps. At speed it feels stable and when you need to turn on a roundabout etc it doesnt roll and does grip well. i suppose that the flipside to a harsh ride, not comfortable but fun to drive.

overall a comfortable car which fits plenty of stuff in the boot and children in the back. Looks good and had no problems with reliability. A fun car to drive however i have heard that its 2 star NCAP crash rating is not very impressive (so dont crash it).

This is a good review but will need more info to get better ratings and ultimately more pennies! Try looking at other reviews (especially diamond reviews) and seeing what information was included and the layout etc. If you need any help about the site, drop me a line in my guestbook, found at… http://www.ciao.co.uk/account.php/TabId/6.
