hi everyone,
I am looking at purchasing the brand new ford focus hatch (base model 12/07 build). I have test driven the car and compared to the new corolla and its a better ride than the corolla. Can you please provide some useful information regarding the Focus (drive, handling, fuel consumption, any car information etc.) Thanks for the help. |

Hey mate,
I got a brand new focus effectively the same as what you're looking at (base model 12/07), and from what I've driven it, it's incredible. I also test drove the corolla, astra and mazda3, and nothing compares to the focus. The drive is smooth as (quote ford marketing ;-)){in manual, and fuel economy is as you would expect from a small car. In short, buy it. It will be the best $20K you will ever spend. |
