    Nice buy :beer:

    Had a good chuckle reading all the posts, especially @ wxmlad's diesel comments. Sounds like someone who's experienced the blast of soot from the back of a diesel :D

    If I'd got here sooner, I'd have also suggested the Octavia vRS or Leon Cupra (petrol or diesel).
  • well done on the black! my ST driving divvy mate picked orange, and has had nothing but grief from the police, because they assume that the cars full of chavs that are off their face. Think they get a bit of a shock when they see the babyseat lol.

    A little extra ;) A few grand at least.

    Good luck with 35mpg - 25 if you're lucky :D

    Nice car.

    Cheers, I knew I wasn't going to get anywhere near 35mpg but when I test drove the car I loved it!! At the moment I am only doing 360 miles a month which is nothing so not too bothered about economy. My mileage will increase next year but not by that much. Just loving the sound of the V6!

    Now the weather has cleared up finally, the car has been cleaned and I have managed to take some pictures. Admittedly I chose a car in the end that was completely different to the requirements in my OP but I don't regret my decision one bit as the car puts a smile on my face every morning!

    thanks (i think?)

    i know only too well the tribulations of black paintwork but when its clean it looks great,but you do need to keep on top of it. my black focus has admitedly started to look a bit shabby here and there,but it is 6 years old now.
