This car is ideal for a young person like myself (19 years old) who cannot believe nor afford the scandalous insurance quotes we receive for driving a low-grouped-insurance car.

The main selling point for me was the two years free insurance. After going to several insurance companies trying to obtain a quote for a L reg old fiesta, third party only, I was quoted in the region of £1000 for a year! Therefore the two years free insurance, as you can imagine, was a god send!

Added benefits are that buying from brand new, there are no MOTs to worry about for the first three years! Mine is under warranty for the next year, with an option of a further two years for £150 to £200.

I was rather surprised about the power of the car. Admittedly you are unlikely to be doing 0 - 62 mph in less than 15 seconds, but you don't have to worry about being overtaken by a 40 tonne haulage lorry (as i did)!

Another pleasant surprise was the economy value of the car - very good.

Another advantage is that Fords are popular, and when you want shut of the car, you are almost guarenteed a quick sale!

My opinion on this product is that if you are not bothered about being seen in a slightly low-cred car, but want exceptional monetary value, THEN THIS IS YOUR CAR!!!

OK, but could use more general info about interior and body.

Good opinion! Yeah you are right, they are a little 'low cred' but they run nicely and owning a new car is something nice! The 2 years free insurance must have saved you about 2 and a half grand!
