my mums got one.......

great little run around, cheap to run, easy to fix!

however modern ford stereos are these monstosity of moulded plastic badged "ford" to make them undesirable to nick...... so dont take it for granted once you take it out some standard halfords cd player will slot back in - it prob will but you may have gaps as the ford plastic moulded stereo is a weird shape!

go for one, you wont regret it for a city run around! However if its ploughing up and down motorways then i'd go for something meatier!

        If you're talking a brand spanker of a car must recommend a Fiat 500 (General Chat) - wgf500, Feb 20, 16:13:35
