Panels views on Focus

[Ardesco]

I've driven a focus a few times and generally speaking not a bad little motor, also Clarkson drives one around day to day and seems to be happy with it. Considering the things he has got to play with that's a endorsement all by itself IMHO.

I prefer the original MK1 Focus and believe it or not you can pick up a petrol one for around £1500 in good nick.

A 1.6 would make a great banger for the daily commute.

And all the while you can aspire to owning a Passat.

The MK1 Focus is certainly a better drive.

I especially like the look of the cruise con, and have heard only good things about the new Focus.

I thought you used the Trans Pennine car park known as the M62. What use is a cruise control in a traffic jam

If you get a proper car then the cruise control works in conjunction with a radar and maintains a suitable gap between yourself and the car infront

The MK2 has a softer less focused ride (did you see what I did there) but the interior feels more up market IMHO.
