The creators are confident that it is exactly such girls who will appreciate the steering wheel, "tuned" for the correct grip, the front panel design in the style of a mobile phone keyboard, and the instrument cluster reminiscent of pilot goggles. True, on a bright sunny day the readings are hard to read, but a truly brave girl is unlikely to be embarrassed by such a trifle.

As soon as the owner of the three-door version sets off, she will surely notice the chassis settings. They differ from the five-door modification. The suspension has become a bit stiffer, the steering is more precise and sharper, with normal feedback. The stability system on the three-door can be completely disabled: a clear hint at an active driving style.

The three-door in the top Sport trim (not to be confused with the heavenly ST version) is available only with a 1.6 petrol engine. It is quite good. There is enough torque, enough power. In the city, there is almost nothing to complain about, except for the rather "short" third gear.

If the owner wants to get to a country house quickly, then on the highway she will regret that there is no sixth gear — without it, the fuel consumption does not want to fit into the Ford-stated 4.7 liters per 100 km. Moreover, at high revs, the engine, which is already annoyingly noisy, breaks into hysterical notes. Which is quite feminine.
