What Car? says
For It's good to drive and there's a roomy interior for business or family use
Against Some engines aren't as powerful or as clean as the Ford Mondeo's
Verdict
The hatchback was our 2003 Family Car of the Year - it's a great all-rounder
Go for… The 1.8-litre petrol engine in Design trim.
Avoid… Life and Club trims mean wind-up rear windows
- 1. Check that recall work to the rear axle stub has been done
- 2. The older 2.0 and 2.2 DTI engines can be heavy on oil
- 3. Occasionally, suspension clunks can be heard - if you test a car that suffers from this, move on to another one
- 4. Cabin is well laid-out and quality is generally very high
