The ride, I found to be quite harsh and it didn't soak bumps up in the way you would expect it to. That could have been down to the 17" Alloys though, with 15" or 16" the ride might be a little better though.
Handling wise, grips alright but no feel to it, and it's very roly poly. I had the half leather "Sports Seats" in mine, and they held you in well enough that you didn't fall out of the seat.
I also found it really noisey when over 70mph, and even at 70 it's noticabely noiser than a Focus for example. The newer 16v HDi engines might be better though, in that respect.

saitrix said:I learnt in a HDi one. It had enough power to go about all fine and accelerate well. Though I had the 136bhp version of it. I noticed it doesnt handle as well as my Focus though.

1 chap sold it after 1 year as it broke down on average one every 6 weeks (would go into limp home mode so no turbo and 2000rpm limit IIRC).
1 chap ordered a HDi and his car arrived with a 1.6 petrol Got it changed and is now thinking of selling as it's a POS.
1 chap has had no trouble and loves the car.
