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.
Finally someone that agrees my mrs has an 1800 zetec and i think hers is greedy as fuck but everyone ive asked with one says no mines fine lol
Thing is she had an escort gti before (1800 silvertop) so i thought this would be better on fuel being a bit newer, WRONG
No idea about the esp thing thou hers is a t plate 3 door zetec a/c, sunrooof, heated front screen, heated mirrors, colour coded mirror caps, I've looked it up and apparently all of those were optional extras?
Pisses me off aswell cos the escort would kick the shit out of it and it was better on fuel this bloody thing dont even break a sweat untill 3k rpm try and boot it from the off and its like fuck off i havent finished my coffee yet give me time to wake up
