    I am not interested in the ecoboost it just gives it umph.

    Did you have outstanding finance on the trade in? As those figures don't add up. If you didn't then the dealer has stuffed you on the interest rates.

    I wouldn't knock the ecoboosts, the 100bhp isn't a massive leap from the 1.25, however it's a newly developed engine, tax free, more efficient will be worth more and keep it's value in the future better than Ford's 20 year 1.25 zetec engine.

    The future for city cars is small turbo engines, diesel is no good for around the houses and eletric isn't good enough yet.

    Yeah i had a bit of finance left to pay.

    Yeah i heard they are good but i am quite happy with the 1.23l i didnt like the 1l eco boost when i drove it.

    Thanks for the advice though
  • No worries, you've chose a great little car in good spec, you'll get many happy years from it.
