A guy I know has one and claims he only gets 20 to the gallon driving gently. That'll put most people off imo

As everyone has said before, they are a thirsty car, tax isn't all that cheap, they love eating front tyres etc. etc. which people don't want in the current climate.
I've had mine over two years now and love it. I'm only considering getting rid of it is because if I don't i'll only end up throwing loads of money at it..... well more than I have already!
I've seen 31mpg on a decent run, although becuase I barely drive it and spend most of my time up in Scotland working away, it's down in the low 20's, but I didn't buy it for that! I've got my dreamscience performance + map on now, so it's running around 250bhp I suspect, although the clutch is beginning to complain about the torque....

Oh yeah forgot about front tyres. Mine lasted 6k each time before needing to be replaced.

Not a fan I'm afraid, just don't see the attraction, but then I drive a 1 Series which is perhaps the ugliest car ever made.
Disclaimer (seems as you need one on here now): I have nothing against Ford or people who drive Fords, I'd just never own one myself.

Not liking a 20 year old Escort with shit spoiler will make you very unpopular on here.

Nice cars and found interior on mates very comfy too. Didn't realise 250hp was that achievable on them

They are just under the same trait more performance cars are in nowadays. I am dreading the day I have to sell mine I can see it being a long painful process

Putting mine up for a decent price to sell. It's nice in a way how much car you can get for the money but at the same time it's annoying because cars that were once rare on the roads are getting common!

7k gives you so much choice nowadays compared to 2 years ago, or even 1 year ago.
ST/MPS/VXR/M3/Scooby/Evo
Not exactly all old either, first 3 are only 4 years old or so
