1.6 diesel titanium 5 door

Wish I had never bought it.

Bought car as a Ford Direct t 10 months old. Drove car home, read handbook - tyre pressure monitorin fitted. Walked out to car to check tyre pressures and found I had lost a security wheelnut in the one mile drive home!
Persistent problems with wheel balance/vibrations from day one eventually traced to flatted front tyre.
Unhappy with standard of service at Ford dealer so tried independent at second service - year 2013. Problems found included oil filter transition piece had been cross threaded at some previous service and gad to be replaced. Air filter was absolutely filthy, contacted Ford and they stated "the schedule states these shoukd be changed every three years regardless of mileage."
Car crashes and bangs over potholes and, whilst sharp steering may suits some, i means you are affected byevery camber, even steering left whilst going round a right hand corner on the motorway.
Only really positive is fuel consumption. I am a steady driver and, over the last year, have averaged 58mpg in mixed rural/motorway driving according to trip computer.
Will be changing to something softer very soon.
