Have you had a previous Focus? How does it compare? Power? Ride? Access?
Me and my girl have a 2004 Zetec 2-door that we're MAYBE thinking of handballing next year for the new model, although I think the styling isn't as "pure" as the original (I personally believe the front end is a little boring), which is the only thing really holding us back (plus the lack of a 2-door model). |

Nice! Hope you are very happy with it, and don't have any trouble with it.

first time buyer of a Focus as i did a straight swap for my 2003 XR6 Turbo. a big power difference but i wasn't using the turbo to its full capacity anyway and they use a heap of petrol even if driven sedately! very happy with the ride and handling of the focus, i drove a new corolla last week and thought what a bucket of poo with all its rattles and cheap looking interior.

Good looking car, can you post an interior (ie dash) shot.
I am just starting the search for a new car for my wife and this looks good so far. |

You didn't do to bad then with the deal. The Focus is a nice small car. My wife and I have been considering one, but was quoted $30k on road for an LX auto. For the same price we can get a Honda Accord Vti, which in my opinion is a lot of car for the money. I am still hanging out for a BF though.

3 grand in 8 months is very good depretiation. If it wasnt the turbo you would have been strearing down the barrel of 8 plus. Focus's are a very fine bit of kit good choice.
