Ride, general build quality, reliability and shoddy Ford support/service.
Head Gasket x 2
Then follow on issues/leaks post head gasket
Steering Rack x 2 (needed a 3rd by the time I sold).
Apparently, head gasket was also done wrong. So it needed a new head, prior to dealer I sold it too selling it on.
It spent more time at the dealers in 2 years than my Subaru has in 19 years.
The car is a great concept badly executed and supported.
You won't find a better handling car in that price bracket. But you need to be very tolerant (or not give a ****) to own one as a daily.
I'm certainly not the 1st and won't be the last to move one on. Just look at the amount for sale. Give it another 6 months and all the specialist dealers will not want to stock them, once the manufacturers warranty runs out and they end up liable.
