Love this little car... slow as hell, but it serves its duties very well. i would highly recomend this as a start up car. its very easy to drive, and it gets unbelievable gas milage. If it had a bit more power, i'd really enjoy it... but i'm satisfied with what i've got. beats the hell outa walkinOct 01, 2010

it's very cheap to run, tax and insure. ideal for small family as it has 5 doors. the parts are also cheap and easy to get hold of. it's not dead fast but the 1.3 engine is enough for me at the moment. ideal first car :)Jul 22, 2010

Reliable, rubbish lilac colour, same inside, cheap, fun to drive, chuckable, but poor acceleration. It was great fun and a great first car with a few comforts like power steering, but not too light. Loved it and would have another any timeSep 06, 2009

It looks pretty decent with my alloys on it, large tyres means it grips ok too. But it really lacks any stability; the suspension feels kinda past it. The engine is a complete wet lettuce, lacking torque accross the whole range and has a pathetic top end as well. It also rounds rough, boring, old and unrefined. The brake discs need replacing so the pedal shakes a LOT when braking from high speeds.Jul 03, 2009

General quality is good and car is reliable.
Poor performance, weak torque every rpm areas.
Low maintenance cost. Cheap spare parts and easy
change. Yes car is very fun drive in traffic and small
places. Sunny days cruising car in downtown.Apr 13, 2009

classic first car material, good on the mpg, rattles, bangs and goes on and on...its not fast, its not good looking but its really cheap to run and u can always find one in the scrapper or dumped on a hard shoulder if you need spares! 1300 pushrod engine from the ford ka, been around for ages and runs off a chain..bottom line, its the definitive Ford.

Build quality is of the strongest you will ever see. brakes are very sensitive and react with the grace of a blue whale. incredible acceleration and perfectly balanced handling. very cheap to run and low maintenance required. Probably the best car available to anyone with a death wish/ suicide note. may experience a slight wibble wobble.Aug 05, 2008

Simple and effective! Conks out when pulling up at a junction at the beginning of a journey, silently, so you don't know until you can't pull away! Nippy little thing though, and comfortable as long as your not driving for too long! Looking forward to taking it camping, a reasonable size boot, and loads of room with the rear bench of seats down.Aug 02, 2008

I guess in it's day it was a good motor.
Mine was a clean, reliable run around
Not alot to say really its old and battered

Performance wasnt its strong point, but it really wasnt built for that. although it does make it cheap to insure. i had the 1.2 Encore.
build quality was ok, a few cheep plastics here and there but everything managed to fit together ok.
and of course, being a ford, servicing is cheap, and was pretty reliable for me.Mar 18, 2008

I used to call it jelly wheels as it felt like it bounced down the road. Reliable as its been passed through his family, bless it!! Good starter, pretty nippy. At first Dave had the speakers in the boot and that typical boy rubbish...but with my influence it became a normal car again!!Mar 11, 2008

It was my first car and at the time I loved it to bits. It was reliable and cheap to run, back in the days when petrol was 63.9p a litre! Dec 14, 2007
