I agree, either do it properly or not at all!

Not sure the average teenager would find insurance companies too friendly with a 140bhp car!

140 brake from a one litre 3 pot is really quite impressive. Gone are the days of the Suzuki Swift Gti or Daihatsu Charade Gtti!

Keyless start - don't touch it. My son's was stolen off the drive - search Fiesta ST or ST2 or ST3 on social media in your area. Thieves break the window, (not sure why alarm is not triggered, but it isn't), reach in and plug a gadget into the block, which disables the need for the key to be present, switches off the alarm and unlocks the door. Drive away never to be seen again. £14k payout for my son but Ford should be ashamed, it's a disgrace

I think it's about group 17, so it's not that bad

It's not fair really - 140bhp is the bare minimum needed for most drivers these days just to get to the next red light, or up the driver in front

I'll say it "oldism" and also the foul use of urine ? This ad needs tearing down and they guy publicly birching naked in the town square, it's so wrong I want to start up a petition

Even with a ford privilege voucher and additional variable marketing deals on top (excluding fact this is pure rental and not paying off towards ownership ) I can't get monthlies close to this with 8k miles. Has to be hot deal. How harsh are these companies on charging extra when lease term is up due to car no longer being show room condition?

As I understand it, a Ford Employee Privilege Voucher allows the dealer to purchase the car from the manufacturer at a lower price than they otherwise could, hence they can pass that saving onto you.
As I understand it, a Ford Employee Privilege Voucher can be used at any Ford Main Dealership, so perhaps ask TC Harrison for a quote for your desired car.
You see, on the face of it, if the dealer is able to buy the car cheaper in the first instance, and you don't have to fund a leasing company their operatying costs & profit, then buying a car should be cheaper for you.
Yes, it may cost a little more per month in actual terms, but that is because you are buying the car. When you sell the car back (say at 2 years) you should get the capital you have paid off refunded. (Obs. you are also paying interest, depreciation, etc, but this applies to lease deals too). When you return a lease car, you get nothing back.

Love it. Not patronising in the slightest!
Must say though, I wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen driving it.

It is - until you think that Yamaha have just produced a 998cc 4 pot engine that pumps out 197bhp....
