Used Ford cars for sale near Bridlington

These cars are ok but unfortunately not as good as the first generation. Seating is ample but even the front seats are not that comfortable especially on long distance journeys. The seats are not as padded in previous versions. The rear 2 seats are more like children’s. Although the rear 5 seats fold into the floor so you do not have to take them out there’s less boot/ carrying space and the change of shape makes it difficult to put larger items in as the rear boot access isn’t square like the mark 1. Driving position is ok but again not as high up as the former model. The doors catch on higher pavements. Servicing is difficult. Oil change if DIY is problematic. You have to raise front end to drop under trays. Oil sump plug then easy to access and open. However oil filter you have to remove the oil filler pipe which needs either a special tool or creativity with what you have. Fuel filter once fitted even my garage has issues bleeding through. Also so many with gear box faults particularly the automatic where regular transmission fluid changes are required. Most people don’t realise this. Again a specialist job. Manual version better with better fuel consumption. Diesel fuel consumption a little down on earlier models. Petrol will always be more thirsty but will satisfy ulez requirements. New + 2016 diesel’s will probably be ulez compliant but check before buying as dependent in those wonderful Europe ratings. Summary probably would rate it closer to 4 if I hadn’t driven the bigger mark 1 version that converts more like a small van.

This car (titanium model) was bought for my granddaughter and it is perfect for her. Despite it's age the car runs extremely well and is fully loaded with all sorts of goodies e.g. automatic running lights, auto wipers, remote locking, blue tooth, phone link and when you switch off lights come on in the footwells etc I think the car is great value and we are very pleased with it.

A very nice van and good value for the age and condition. Would have preferred a built in satnav but the other wise perfect.

Very good value for the price tidy inside and out and economical to run

Comfortable entry, smooth ride, plenty of extras, eg reversing camera
