well my boss had an S40, and it went like a cut snake but it wasn't a reliable car, spent alot of time @ Austral motors being 'serviced' ..Sadly it is a thing of the past because it was a wolf in sheeps clothing as far as performance went

Got a mate over in Scotland who works for a Ford dealership...
Ford sent him on a race day to the track with the Focus ST - 2.5 turbo - 220 bhp and 0-60 in 6.5 - cant argue with those kind of figures! And yea he reckons the handling in phenominal..... Difficult choice though....

hmmm... FWD can be fun. Give me a good FWD over a bad RWD any day. Maybe a type S Integra or save some bucks and go for one of the last Renault Clio Sports?
If it was me i'd go for the Focus (although the XR6T is a weapon and a half when fiddled with). If you need a big car get a big car, if you dont need a big car then get a smaller car. |
