Great

* Good to drive, thanks to sharing underwear with the Mondeo
* Intelligent airbag system and leather come as standard
* Fine turbodiesel engines are kindest to your wallet and quiet, too

Gripes

* Driving position won't suit everyone
* Petrol versions will drain your wallet for fuel and car tax
* Can't match German rivals for the compact exec crown
