Sorry to hear that Phil. I have had Toyotas almost since I learned to drive. Yes, that long! And the thing with them is that they drive the same every time you turn the key. I have never had a 'Friday' car nor one that I have ever needed to take back to the dealer. I have 4 of them still on the drive and they go like the day they were made - 2 of them are 20 years old.
Fate intervened this time around and I was given a Vauxhall by the business. Compared to the Yotas, the whole thing is unrefined but I have to say, mine is quite nice. OK I wouldn't spend my own money on one, but overall, it's not a bad thing to drive. But, the point is that there are days it drives sweet and other days it feels lumpy, stiff and slow. So, hearing that you have one that feels like that most of the time is no real surprise. However, I do find mine quiet and other than the crap 1st to second change, completely ....OK.
Hope you enjoy the Ford.Although having driven those too, I wish you the very best of production line luck! Bit like Marmite, Fords.
