TAC Cornflake Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Wow, what a fantastic car! I am in love! It absolutely wipes the floor with the ol' 1.2 Corsa I used to have hahaha!

I can't believe the difference in power! :D Sure...from 1.2 to 1.6, it is a difference... By the way, how's the leg room in the back? Is it easy to jump in? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it easy to jump in? :D It depends on how far back you sit, I reckon there is enough room however I wouldn't want to be in the back of the car for too long! I'm just over 6ft :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAC Cornflake Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Ford have offered me a service plan at £20.00 a month which I'll probably take out. Everything paid for, service, parts, labour etc. Worth it guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything paid for, service, parts, labour etc. Worth it guys? In my opinion - not. If this is something over 3 years where you get 2 x interim & 1 x major service you're paying £720 (36 x £20) for £547 of work (based on my local dealer - £149 + £149 + £249 - they are normally quite expensive and can be beaten by shopping around) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGull Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I agree with Nath. My first two services have been around £100 each at a Rural Ford dealer - £20 a month is way too much for servicing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark t Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Can I just say, that I can afford to pay 16.83 a month, then nothing for the service, than a lump sum when the service comes, and as mine is now due at Christmas, not the end of November!!

Fair enough but you'd be better off putting that money in a savings account each month then using it to buy the service at a cheaper price.

Probably here in Finland, where I live, I would pay around 50 euros/month (if not more) for this kind of service :D That's one reason why I said that 20 pounds sound good to me ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
