sedan focus ??

[ivorya]

How big is the boot in the sedan??? I've got the brochure and it's comparable with the falcon size.

Has any one down sized from the falcon into the focus sedan, how much room is there when compared back to the bigger car.

Looking at getting another car in the next few months and was shocked at the size

Thanx

Never owned either a Focus or a Falcon - However I do know the size in the Sedan's boot is about 5L more then the Falcon... Shocking I know, but good for the Focus! Apparently the boot in the New Yaris SEDAN is bigger then the Holden Commodore - again shocked!

Good luck with the Focus! I've seen a Focus Sedan with the Bodykit and Zetec Rims... and shesh did it look good!

I've gone from a EF Falcon to a Focus hatch (slightly shorter than the sedan i think) and the Focus has width, but you can fit taller things in the boot (Ie a 12kg BBQ gas bottle upright only clears the EF bootlid by 1cm, whereas the focus still has heaps of space above it.

You can also fold down the seats (the bottom seat cushion folds forward to make the seatback fold flat, and also stopping things sliding into the driver's seat back) and you can fit a lot.

I would have bought the ghia sedan and got the bodykit, etc. if it had come in manual, but the boot is 510L in the sedan and 505L in the falcon, The boot of the hatch is 385L

You will probably find the Focus boot a little more usable, as i believe it is completely flat. Falcon would be better if you were towing or had 3 adults to carry across the back...... But the new Focus doesnt seem as narrow as say a Corolla!

The boot in the sedan is crap. It's too big and so makes me put more and more junk in there, of which I haven't been bothered to clean up yet. Haven't run out of space yet though

Lack of manual Ghia also forced my decision. I just love that Ghia interior.

Boot is vast, but main difference I notice over a full-size sedan is that the actual aperture (opening) is smaller, so access isn't quite as easy.

It's almost a mistake to think of the new Focus as a small car - it's more of an intermediate car, like the old Telstar. The width, in particular, makes it stand out from the smaller cars. It's a great compromise between big and small without losing the driving appeal of a smaller car.
