I almost bought a Bullitt. They have bags of character and sound incredible. It's a pity Ford basically won't warranty anything after 3 years, so it put me off.
The orange version is the worst colour surely !I'll bring the level back down to normality. I got this maybe 4 or 5 months back on Salary sacrifice at work, less than £250 a month all in inc maintenance, insurance, tyres etc. Used by my wife for the usual family duties. To be honest, we love it.
I chose the cheapest car on the list and tried to choose the worst colour to annoy her but we have ended up really liking the thing. 3.3 miles per kwh, it handles actually not bad at all, doesnt feel heavy maybe as its the super base model. Little annoying things we have now got used to, it doesnt save settings, windows dont do one-touch open etc, but for the beans, we think its great. Its plenty quick enough and rear wheel drive.
Braking and regen takes some getting used to, but its fine now.
I know there will be some negativity, but I really quite like the thing

That's some might long thumbs you have there Gibbo
?? Ford extended warranty for my 2020 Stang was £400 a year.. that's very equal to BMW and a 440i, and considerably cheaper than an M car.. surely the Bullitt isn't much more since in the UK you only got 11bhp more (454bhp vs 443bhp).I almost bought a Bullitt.

Pretty solid cars so I’d not overly worry about issues.

I'm also a fan the a Bullitt, and also the Mach 1.. I know the argument, but I'd have loved a Mach 1 Convertible.. also for those of us that need an auto, the Mach 1 has an updated 10R80 box which improved on the earlier one (which I've got now).
If the original owner bought it at the time of purchase, they offer 2 years manufacturer extended warranty (so 5 years in total).. It's marketed as 'Ford Protect Classic'That does seem to be the case, but someone on OCUK had a Bullitt which needed a new engine under warranty!
As far as I could tell, they wouldn't offer one like BMW/Audi/etc do, it wasn't clear at least. I'd have been happy to pay.
Edit :: just had a look at Ford Protect, is that it? Looks reasonable. Is the cover as good as a BMW one?
We got a white Trophy spec one in December. We like ours also, fits our lifestyle perfectly.I'll bring the level back down to normality.

I read that the ICE can be buggy. Have you had any issues with it at all? I'm not convinced the new Chinese brands have met Korean quality yet..We got a white Trophy spec one in December. We like ours also, fits our lifestyle perfectly.
If the original owner bought it at the time of purchase, they offer 2 years manufacturer extended warranty (so 5 years in total).. It's marketed as 'Ford Protect Classic'
If bought at the end of the 3 year normal manufacturers warranty then it's "Ford Protect Gold"
It's marketed through Ford, so very aligned with the dealerships, but it is (like BMW) still underwritten/administered by a third party.. the policy seems generous..

Lovely. Probably my next car.
Looks nice, my lease XC40 is up this year and this is probably top of my list to replace it, mostly short drives and I get free charging at work. I'm thinking fully electric and the Meganne is probably my second choiceI'll bring the level back down to normality.

You must have a big familyNew van arrived today for family duties. Only spent 10mins but so far so good. Need to get the Vito sold, making mad money now, might actually turn a good profit on that one.
Anyways, Trafic 170 Auto LWB crew van.
