Considering buying a Focus for the better half.
Will be a used model. 2008 and up. Seems to be some good buys at the moment. What would the cost differences between the 2 be? In terms of continual running costs and usual wear and tear. So, comparing things like: Service intervals (km gaps)? Rough costs of minor / major services between the 2? Timing belt / chain?? Which engine and when?? How about things like fuel pumps / glow plugs / spark plugs / filters etc? It will be an Automatic transmission as well. The fact that the diesel has a 6 speed is very attractive as well. Reason why I ask this is that if it will be serviced by my local mechanic once any factory warranty runs out. Also curious about people who have experienced both engine combos. Which details do you like and dislike and why? I'm leaning towards the diesel personally. Lower consumption, torquey motor and 2 extra cogs in the box along with engine longevity are all attractive at the moment. Look fwd to your replies. Cheers, Jason |
