danny1987 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 SO... out of an escort, and i dont really think ill be back in one now but have emotional feelings for the forum now so will stay on! After the car got broke in to i wanted a fresh start so went on the hunt and decided to get a focus, did want the more sporty 3 door but decided against it for practicality reasons. Honestly, "the best" car i've had so far. It has everything lol, AIR CON! (not had this before so major chuffties on this one), added on steering wheel stereo control, elec windows, p/s, alarm, elec drivers seat, Traction control, Leather steering wheel and gear stick, PAS, side and passenger airbags, genuine ford lip spoiler, and the alloy upgrade (which im selling). But the horrible walnut dash is getting replaced with that carbon fibre look stuff that you kinda shrink wrap to it. its done 125,000 miles but runs like a dream, no rattles, knocks, no tappet noise, runs sweet and very quiet can not complain at all, paint work is mint! needs a front bumper add on/spiltter which im watching now and also some coilovers and the st spoiler. im doing very minor mods to it, nothing crazy because it never go's right for me. so they will be done at my local garage even if they are small mods. best part of all i paid a bag of sand for it so happy with that! http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/2627/dsc00451tu.jpghttp://img532.imageshack.us/img532/6859/dsc00458y.jpghttp://img202.imageshack.us/img202/88/dsc00452md.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScORTED Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 was it just the right car at the right price? I'd have thought you'd be better off with a zetec for the better suspension and trim?that said its a nice colour and has nice wheels on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a zetec its a ghia.......zetec is a trim level Looks a nice car tho, i like the colour and the wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 fair.. that has ghia seats, ghia trim, ghia badges on the rear sails and is generally ghiaish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Zetec is a trim level for the focus, very basic, unless its a zetec climate with the options. Good car for the price, and lots of toys, but poor ride quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 ahhh lack of explination... all petrol foci mk1 / mk1.5 are zetec engined... i was refering to the comfort / plastiwood trim and suspension Zetec is a trim level for the focus, very basic, unless its a zetec climate with the options. Good car for the price, and lots of toys, but poor ride quality zetec trim is pretty good on the mk1... aircon/sports seats and suspension electric stuff, it only misses out on heated seats / leather which was an option or easily retro fitted the mk2 zetec was mid to basic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good car for the price, and lots of toys, but poor ride quality oh right i thought you meant engine... THAT is a zetec lmao. the ride quality is AMAZING compared to any car i have drove yet (thats not that many) but yeah, compared to the escort.. quality of this any day unless a had a rubbish escort which is understandable. better handling get it lowerd, i intend to do that anyway like but only when i get myself the money for coilovers.

ScORTED Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 lowering / coilovers doesn't often make for good handling on an every day road car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
