Nick is me stealing Lee's thread, i thought that when i re-read it but couldn't think of the write word
Cheers for that Chris, it sounds really good, especially the engine. Mines almost 5 years old now so the diesel engine is fairly weak, loud and uneconomical, being the older style engine, but it has served me well. I hate my mrs' Focus so if she doesn't mind a bigger car we could just go for a newer Mondeo, although i wont hold my breathe
I have looked at the Fiestas too and they are very expensive compared to what you can get in the larger family style cars, which kinda puts me off buying a small cars with the way things are.
Anyway that gives me food for thought, cheers.
