They have a history of building great cars, in amongst the Sierra-type dross. Consider the early Cortina, the Escort, the 3 litre Granadas. The current Fiesta is an especially fine car. Good company, Ford.

I mean, compare theiur product over the years with their traditional biggest rivel - Vauxhall.

I don't dispute what you say, but as a brand, they're always going to feel a bit low-rent, aren't they?

I once briefly had a highly-specced Vectra from the work pool and it was an extraordinary piece of shít. It felt like it was made of lead, had all the oomph of a milk float and generally felt like quite a comfortable hearse.

I have a 12 year old Astra SXi, and it's been fab. Zips around and only had one problem with it.

I know nothing of the SXi so cannot comment. The Vectra was my one and only experience of Vauxhalls.
