    My car

    Bought from Ford Direct 9mths ago, when 10mths old with 8k on the clock and at around 55% of list!Best way to buy as one on the forecourt won't have 2 years unlimited warranty/breakdown cover!As these cars are ex Ford employee cars they also tend to have plenty of extras.So I went for one with full leather pack,sunroof,parking sensors,advanced bluetooth,17" alloys. My commute's a mix of town and country roads means it returns 45+ but motorway journeys see it rise to 55+. The 2.0 diesel provides plenty of power especially mid-range but my 2007.5 model lacks the traction control of the newest models.Be careful flooring it in 1st! Overall excellent well-made and spacious car, more room than a friends x-type!The lower cabin trim is somewhat hard but who notices too much as it's below eye-level. If you want a well priced,quality small family car look no further.
