Its peers (or pears if used to transport fruit).

It has Focus like dynamics but gets close to Galaxy interior space while looking like an Estate.

217Bhp from its turbo-charged 5 potta as well.

hold me back someone........

I must resist, I must resist

I don't have to have a C-Max

I can make do with 400bhp

To think that for some people, the acquisition of such a car represents an achievement

No wonder they drive like nobs

I would say personally owning the exotica would be the achievement, for some people its more of a necessity (& not a first choice company car with this engine in).

And 400 BHp my arse, it would have only had that for the first couple of months


and why bring innocent biscuits into it?

'hold me back' thats fighting talk from where I come from....

But I've moved

Its Fords remake of Mr Whippy's finest.

Mostly Ice cream jokes.

I doubt it.

This is a fear point. You do seem to get lots of people in this type of car drive in this manor. Maybe it's just a sign of the times, or a sense of frustration on their part, as they look at all these lovely S2000's driving about, and wonder why they spent

they are fricking horrible. the dynamics of a london bus. the missus had one for a hire car for some reason and it had more body roll than roseanne barr.

all 'mpvs' are crap. just LOOK at it.. it's horrendous. it's like a great big fat lass with some make up on..

It's somewhere near the G-spot?

Or is that a '70's Citroen?

Or just a myth?

Yeth!
