To sum up, I hated it.

Had to drive to Oxford for a meeting so I got the keys to a new Ford Fusion.

Its a Ford KA on stilts !!!

Its ok driving in a straight line but when you get to a bend or a roundabout you go like this ----> :eek:

Dash is very un-inspring and very cheap plastic.
A lift up storage compartment in the top of the dash which was nice, but when I lifted It, it felt like it would just break off.

The all round view was good and it felt like a solid car, but you had to crawl round any curve and I mean crawl.

Both me and our lass had a drive in it, we both have ankle ache from the positions of the pedals as well.

In our opinion, we would not buy one.

I don't really understand the point of cars like that.

I can see the point of something like a Zafira i.e. you get 7 seats (if you really need them and at least you can get it with a turbo :D )

But a Scenic/Fusion etc. 5 seats yet apparently they're people carriers :confused: Don't seem to me to be any more veratile or smaller than an ordinary Focus or something :confused:

So what the hell is the point!?
