been after one for a while

What was the dealer like?

Fine,, I have used them for years for servicing and MOT's, never really had any issues with them

What's it like to drive?

great, everyday focus ability and easy to drive about town. get out onto the open road and its just fantastic, accelerates great in any gear but overtaking in fourth is simply fantastic. king of the hot hatches, sounds great as well,even when 'burbling' around town,

What's it like to park?

small hatch so not bad (could have done with parking sensors)

Have you had any problems with the car?

Starter motor,changed under warranty

What's most practical about your car?

smaller than my last Mondeo so easier to park. goes like hell. just a like a standard focus when around town.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

got to be the pod of gauges on the dash, (turbo,oil temp and pressure) love watching the turbo gauge shoot up when you floor it.. leather recaros look great and are really comfy
