Performance BlueST220 Estate

[Donatello]

Picked up our new daily on Saturday and absolutely love it! The 4 hour drive home was lovely and so far it has proven to be the right choice.

Will get some pictures up ASAP but haven't cleaned it myself yet and it looks a bit mucky from the drive home.

Pleased with the deal we got.. 2004 '54' plate, full heated leather seats front/back, loads of extras and 49,500 on the clock. We got a little money off and 4 brand new Conti Sport Contact 2's thrown in!

Very pleased so thought I would do my own Readers' Cars thread and add to it over time

Edit: Can one of the magical admin bods please put a space between 'Blue' & 'ST220' in my title please? Bloody sausage fingers!!!

Change the oil regularly, get the tracking / alignment checked and enjoy between the fuel stops.

How often would you suggest to change the oil then? Car is due for a tracking check this week, should be ok as it was checked when they put the 4 new Conti Sport Contact 2's on.

Fuel has been ok so far, 32.1mpg on the 4 hour journey home and have hammered it since Saturday and still have it reading 28mpg, not all bad.

I have mine done every 6 months as I do a small mileage. 6000 miles seems to be the recommended if you do decent mileage. They like fresh oil. I've stuck with the Ford stuff.

Ifind mine very sensitive to tracking and tyre pressures.

Mine does 30-32 on a run and 24-28 around town.
