but then the question would be why would you buy an x3? an xr3i maybe but not an x3.

They are one of the smartest small 4x4s

indeed,if you want 4x4 then get a 4x4 not a high rise bmw.

if your looking at buying a focus rs i doubt the competition is going to be an x3.

No. Not green, he deliberately avoided it as he said he would hate it after a week or two and there is the panel mismatch issue too. The blue, he was tempted, but it is a common RS colour and therefore decided on the white as it looks bl**dy good with the black accessories, as in mirrors, spoilers etc.

He tried to avoid the white originally as last two cars (ST's) are white! But the RS looks the best in the white.

I'll ask him to 'pop' up and see you on Wednesday but think he may not have the time!!

He's not intending to sell it straight away as he actually likes it and wants it! But think that a year down the line he may sell it.... Good investment tho!

I have to admit I do like it in green..goes well with the black bits of the car.

Why buy an X3? it's like saying i wanted an X5 but couldn't quite afford it!

I bet you don't go offroading in it (ever see the top gear episode where they tried?) so why buy a 4x4?

Go for a ford 4x4...the Sierra XR4x4..heh. If you can find any now, that is.

...IMHO it looks like it was designed by a Star Wars nerd - it bears more than a passing resemblance to a storm trooper!

Lots of comments!!!!!!!!!!!!

Find out tomorrow... Goldie you would not believe the amount of extra bits of plastic that are on this 1.4 Focus!! Does everything! He's got the lux pack - and have grasped a bit of what it does/do etc. It would be totally wasted on me

MrsE - I was against the white - but only cos he's had two ST's in white! But on reflection - the blue looks like the blues do normally.. The green has its issues and my son reckoned he would hate it after a week! And the white does look good - even if it does resemble something from Star Wars!! I'll let you know tomorrow when I see it in real life!

Couple of people I know have seen a green one (two actually - where are all the RS's??). One guy said it looked a great car but the green was awful!
