Every body says the same things about a 7 publicly about how quick they are, how they handle but nobody ever seems to talk about the down sides to them. You are very low compared to the other traffic on the road even a people carrier will look tall, you have to be very aware of the other cars,vans,4x4's and those people who drive with their ear phones in. Start thinking like a biker and drive defensively and assume you have not been seen, even if the exhaust is loud the car driver with the aircon and radio turned up to 11 will not hear you. If you come up to a roundabout to go straight on in the outside lane you may not be seen by the driver who decides to go for the exit lane your aiming for. Another point is people tend to forget that you are there at all, because the rear lights are down low other drivers tend to look over the top of you. A third brake light on the rollbar will help a little with this.
Don't get me wrong I like the fact that such handling and fun can be had for little money but you also have to remember that it's you who will end up looking at a ford badge 3" from your face.
