Not so long ago dealers were paying top dollar for those because there was a massive waiting list!

A friend of mine bought one from a main dealer, put a few thousand miles on it, decided he didn't like it and the dealer gave him what he paid for it to buy it back, despite the miles..

we had to wait months when we bought it  but like many others it is a great motor  just not right for what we want

ford focos TD estate  its the titanium x  semi auto   wasnt too keen at first to be honest mark  but once we drove one my mind was changed   luckily the dealer had a similar spec demonstrator and was given it to use for 4 hours to test drive  placed the order as soon as we got back with it  and got a good deal  although the px price for the yeti was poor so we sold that privately instead :y

Title: Re: whats the quickest
Post by: millwall on 13 January 2012, 15:50:59
2.0 tdci with the 6 speed semi auto box :y   we did consider the astra  but after much trawling on the net  the focus is a better car :y

they do a 2.0 tdci now???...the 1.6 was a bit gutless imo but  £35per  year road tax made up for it(but with all the kit we carry not supprising) the 1.8 was good....so hope 2.0 is a good :y

its around 160 bhp  0 to 60 around 8 secs    wont set the world on fire  but powerful enough for what we need   and apparently they do 50 to 57 to the gallon  not that is really a factor as she doesnt do that many miles :y

160 bhp....i not the slowest...forget what me 2.0 astra had bhp wise...that was a bit rapid though :y
