Clio 182 CUP!

I just got my Brochure in the mail from Ford, and now i understand what they are refering to smooth. Its repeated all over the letter sent with the brochure. The car is "as smooth as it looks... performance is just as silky smooth... drive is ultra-smooth"
I agree with what some of you mentioned though... drive being smooth doesnt represent a sporty character. In regards to the brochure itself... i like it... a work of art! I especially love the pic of the Ghia Sedan with 17s (and MUST be lowered) next to the pool! I am now officially inlove with the Focus Zetec... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Yeh the Sedan next to the pool looks lowered...
It will be interesting to see our Black sedan when it arrives once we put those wheels on it.. Im very doubtful that it will sit like that...

Let me give you the tip. Car photographers often put serious sandbags into the car to make it squat down lower. The side on shot of the Zetec in the old brochures was treated similarly.

It's a very smooth ride. We'll buy two when I am satisfied that the first people to get them are happy with them. Atleast I am off the idea of Mazda3 SP23's now.
