1.6 Zetec and TBH I am very impressed. Okay its not as quick as the scoob and the handling isnt as confident but its does handle. Its quiet, refined, the lights work 
, heated front screen and oe CD is a really bnous. Even the noise the indicators make sounds expensive. Done 80 mile and the fuel needle hasnt moved from full either.
Just brought it to commute but I am well impressed, seriously tempted to swap the scoob if they make a 4x4 cossie version.

Yep partex-ed the fezzer needed something a bit bigger with 5 doors really as 3 doors in a little hatch is a pain 
. Shame really as it was a great little car.

on it.

Sorry you had to leave the fold
I like the Focus, I really do! I seem to fit in them perfectly, they must be one of the comfiest cars I driven! I took one (2.0l)for a blast to Masham, N.York moors, I had a blast, ok it's not the quickest thing in the world but the handling, IMO made up for it
Hope you enjoy it!

Aye, I'm well chuffed with mine
It does lack in power, but the cornering ability in the dry is incredible!
I was amazed! And with 30+mpg and Group7 insurance, You can't complain eh?
The brakes aren't the best though! Not as if the impreza's were either

Jonto its metropolis blue, its a sky metallic blue.
The brakes I have sitting round are front two pots mate same as the MY98 UK brakes. The pads you had off me were off a second hand set of 4 pots I brought. I had second hand calipers and discs fitted to the car but had new DS2500 instead of the second hand OE pads which you had.
