Ford repairs can be an issue

Exterior Good classic curves and finish. I like the simplicity.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nice interiors. Space is decent. Though width is less, which is discomforting when 3 have to sit in the back seat.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine power is good. Fuel economy could be better. Gear box is a little on the harder side, vs say an SX4 or Verna.

Ride Quality & Handling This is fantastic. Great to drive on highways especially. Very good grip of the road. Good response to steering.

Final Words Used to be a good car in its category. Now it belongs to a lower category with Fiesta (New) taking its place. But still good value for money. 

Areas of improvement The clutch is very hard. I got the entire clutch plate assembly replaced. But it doesn't help. Even my drivers keep complaining of leg and back aches. Look at verna, or vento, or sx4 etc. Or even swift or i10 or i20. They all have such soft clutch pedals.

Its great to drive, other than for the hard clutch.Clutch is very hard.
