1.6T 182 ST 3 EcoBoost 6speed 3dr

Fast, frantic and uncomfortable

This was a Mountune version and definitely felt quicker than the standard version, which to be honest was always quick enough.

Plus points:
Fast
Handled superbly
Pretty economical, averaging c36 mpg
Heated seats were wonderful

Negative points:
Bone hard ride - in fact this was the reason the car was sold in the end
Tiny interior - not big enough for two adults and two growing kids
Rattled like mad - honestly, it sounded like someone was rattling a bag of old bolts constantly
Reliability only so-so - it never broke down but small annoying things (steering wheel controls for the stereo only worked occasionally etc)

Overall - great fun but you had to be in mood and ultimately it's too much like hard work on a daily basis (that said my wife loved it!)
