Great car, some minor cosmetic issues however resolved at the right Ford Dealer, one dealer was very tough and then went to another to get all issues raised corrected. Running at 9.5l per 100km, if a lot of highway use in the low 7 or 8L /100km. 6 speed gearbox a little jerky but mostly all round a good car with full safety pack. 5 Star Ancap.
Reasonable well built a cheap to run even on the petrol model compared to the Commodore wagon same year.
Sometimes little rattle here and there. If Ford dealer gives any trouble with warranty, just go to another dealer, Springwood QLD perhaps.

Picked up a TDCi hatch titanium. Brilliant little performer and great value for money! Only gripe from partner is lack of reversing camera, but for me the sensors are fine. Sat nav would be nice too but an easy fix. Considering all the other features you get those minor shortcomings are soon forgotten. The keyless entry plus start is infinitely handy as is the massive boot!

This is a fantastic car to drive. It handles so well and has the European stylish appearance. The Zetec model is packed with features including being able to have a different temperature setting on the driver's side to the passengers side. We have the diesel and the fuel consumption is fantastic. The boot space is also large enough to fit a bundle of baby items including prams, etc. The rear and front parking sensors make parking this car so easy to park in small spaces. Highly recommended.
I love how this car handles. It also looks stylish and has a large boot.
Nothing at all.

Brought the 2010 model as a 2nd hand car with 6000km on the clock, filled the car up, and am still running on my first 50L.

Car is not as wide as my old 99 Holden CommonDoor, but has plenty of room in side - highly recommend for a family car if your cant afford a full sized car, or don't like the larger ones.

Nice Big boot and wonderfully designed dash board (if you dont want to use voice control)

A dealer let me spend a weekend with this car. I ultimately chose the G6E over this car but it impressed me very much. If I had needed a third car or something slightly smaller than a G6E this would be my first choice.

This car surprised me in how it felt. It had a much more together feel than any Japanese car of the same size had ever felt. Its Diesel engine was very powerful and the car was surprisingly quiet and roomy.

I totally recommend it.
Very solid and big car feel, very large and versatile luggage are with hatch, nicely put together. Very powerful diesel engine, great gearbox, very very nice James Bond styling, very surefooted.
The aircon dials are a bit old fashioned

Loved the car to start with but felt like it dated quickly. I like Fords in fact I pick up a new Territory on Friday so I cannot knock the vehicles. My Mondeo has served me well. Great on fuel. Will never buy a car without leather again though. Water leaks in through the hatch in heavy rain and I have had a knocking in the exhaust that I have not been able to get sorted in 6 services.
Other than that great car with excellent styling, good performance and a benchmark in its class without doubt. Fords I find get better as you go up the range and I will always go top of range now.
Cheap motoring, lovely styling.
Rattles in chassis never solved.
