Harsh ride, slow, noisy....

Bought with FSH and 18k on the clock but feels like it has 180k. Noisy rattly engine, noisy cabin, harsh ride, ABS constantly resetting at the slightest bump, engine surge when turning at 2k rpm.
Cheap plastic everywhere.
Water in boot from poor seal at boot hinges.
Auto gearbox / 1.6 duratec is a poor combo.
Seats unsupportive.
Poor mpg even on a long drive at 32mpg

Years ago I had the Mk1 and it was a much better drive.
