Ok here are my impressions of the new car. You might be suprised to know that I did not test drive before buying the car, I just took the punt based on the rave reviews I had been reading about the car. These are seriously good cars. This engine revs beautifully and sounds great. The brakes feel strong. The interior on this model is terrific, great dash layout, all very simple to use. The wife loves it. The kids love it. The dog hates it because he wont be going in it. Happy? Yes. Never thought I would buy a brand new Ford. Kind of waiting for the door handle to snap.
