Summary
What does this car say about you?
Practicle but performs nicely!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They like it. I'm surprised they noticed the difference from my previous 3-door same colour zetec. But they did.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes - you get a chuckable sports car with 170 bhp with all the reliability and practicality of a focus. Great stuff
What are you likely to buy next?
Probably the new ST ..... once it's depreciated a little!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great - have caned several BMW's from standstill at the lights. You'll need to work it a bit to get the best from it though (ie. get it above 4,000 rpm)
What's it like to park?
Easy - its a focus. However the turning circle is much wider than my old 1.6 zetec (which is odd).
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nope
What's most practical about your car?
It's a Focus!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The button that knocks the ESP off (you seem to get extra power at your disposal when you do this!)
