A good sized sporty car for a modest price

Car Details:
Mileage = 8000 to date
A couple of minor problems sorted under warranty - no problems since.

What is good:
It handles very well, is very safe, and is very stable at speed.
It is a large car - but not too large.
It feels like a small car when you drive it - much like the previous generation Mondeo.
The steering is good much better than most cars.
The brakes are good.
The ride is quite good, but a little nervous.
The engine is a bit crude, especially before the turbo cuts in, but once the turbo is spinning it goes, and can be fun to drive.
The aircon is good.

What is not so good:
Initially the clutch was very sharp, and with the light throttle made it difficult to drive smoothly at low speed - this has improved as the clutch has bedded in.
The gear linkage initially rattled at high revs - this gradually dissapeared.
The boot cover is a bit flimsy.
The seats are too heavily bolstered, and restrict my right leg - this is my main gripe about the car - I hope it softens with time.
I have a rattle on the seat supports - this may have been caused during the warranty work - I am leaving it to the first service to sort out.
