She does go pretty well though, solid, even tho its lowered on cheap springs it still handles like its on rails
Yeah good motors overall,I had a zetec estate last year and it was one of the best driving cars I've owned,no bumps rattles or anything.everything worked perfectly (apart from the engine had a hole in it!!!!) but I bought it that way.
Only thing I found was it was juicy,only a 1.8 zetec but I couldn't get more than 30mpg out of it,which was poor IMO.that was mixed driving so I suppose it may have improved out on the motorway.
It had gone through the last 7 mots with only 1 advisory,tells you something i think.
