lectrolove Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Maybe we were just unlucky and got a bad 'un, but we had a Focus until very recently and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The worst thing about it was that it seemed to be invisible to other road users, people would pull out in front of it constantly and we had near misses on a daily basis. It broke down more than all the other cars we've had put together. I found it uncomfortable both as passenger and driver, and the boot could only be opened either with the key or by a button on the dashboard, no button on the boot itself. Fortunately the only time I dropped my keys in the boot then slammed it shut was outside my house and I could get the spare key, but the time it closed on me trapping my finger while the key was in the ignition was a nightmare. I traded it in last week for a Toyota Corolla and am now in honeymoon mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebasher Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 A Focus is a good choice (although maybe not as a 1st car IMO as you're likely to damage it!) I had (quite literally) hundreds of these as hire cars. Its one of the few makes/models i was unable to break, unlike the 3 Hondas and dozen (or so) fiats that i did! Good handling (for a family car), comfy seats and reasonably well equiped...Cant go wrong really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremyjh1 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 What does anybody think of this as a first car? I'd suggest it be a third or fourth car. For a first car you want a really big, really fast one, with big fluffy dice hanging from the rear view mirror, a really loud music system that plays that bass beat music that makes the car jump. Oh, and you need a really loud exhaust (loud enough to be heard over the bass rythmn). That's what the lads who rip it up down Morrisons, Hillsbro car park at night all have. :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
