My biggest initial concern was the lack of practicality given it’s a 3 door with far less internal volume than the Focus estate.
Two months on I haven’t needed to carry anyone in the rear seats....either they know how cramped they are, or don’t want to be a passenger.
Rear seats are permanently folded...this weekend a major pruning job on my mother’s garden, involving professional gardening friends. Builders bulk bags full of compacted green waste, a nice square space, 3 tip runs..two had it been the Focus, but all qualms now forgotten.
Still getting 35 mpg and exciting myself a leetle when the revs exceed five thousand and then it really starts to get going. Not exactly Chuck Yeager territory but as close as I wish to get to it whilst on Mother Earth.
Still 10/10.
