new car

traded for the ST and cleared finance in exchange

so the sportka cost me £175 (tax)

no pics but a spec:

1.6 8v 94bhp
12500 miles
full leather
AC
Power Steering
front and rear fogs
leccy windows and mirrors
tinted rear windows
16" alloys
CD player

first impressions:

obviously coming from a 2.5t Focus ST-2 it is not quick, its nippy

but its damn good to drive! well fun

i'll get pics up asap!

did not expect this!

(by the way ignore the last post i just made in the st page, i hadnt seen this topic )

glad your enjoying it though mate. those things love the corners

me either

i know some people will say "girl's car" but to them

it loves corners

its only a stop gap for a month or so i'm afraid as well

ignore the girl comments, my mate used to get that with his ka untill he opened the bonnet and made them choke on there words with his 1.6 turbo

you cant control yourself with cars can you

decided what the next car is then?

i'm minus the turbo

well i need a bigger car due to kirsty's sisters baby, so the plan is to sell this as its mint save £5k and use the change on a focus sized car

you going to get it second hand this time

what about a c-max

oh yeah defo 2nd hand

as said on fb, there good cars and if its only for a month atleast you wont get bored of it what are the normal focus's like on fuel these days as we had a treg mk1 2.0 focus that stuggled to get 25mpg in town! we had a also had a 51plate mk1 1.6fpcus that struggled to get 30mpg in town!

i nearly let that slip soo many times. glad to hear you are enjoying it as discussed through text, will hopefuly see it soon.

jamie, i just need something with a bigger boot, the sportka one is er, a bit, small

cheers for the comments

i'll get some pics up soon

Sell this.

Save 5k.

Buy a VAG TDI engined beast. Either Golf or Passat or Scoda. GTTDI spec it, and have proper power and torque, while also having econemy and a decent sized car. Would probably be better than that Focus you had too

Nice! What colour is it?

I bet its abit different to the fucus to drive but corners ftw!!

Bet its still pretty nippy too.

Sorry but I have to post this one.



Actually does say the Sportka is good compared to a french car

I will also add the VTS has better suspension, steering ansd more power (they learnt from the GT) so don't be getting any ideas.

Dare I say I it is actually an amazing car from ford which I never really noticed until you bought one.

dave: cheers mate its sea grey nice colour, wierd name! and its nippy, short gearing helps it move, corners are fun

and percy:

i wasn't going to compare this to anything, the chassis could handle vts power easy in the ka, its a good car

the c2 gt in that vid looks all over the place

happypaul: i'll look into it when i sell this i just said focus sized car, not a focus

Exactly, it was actually a compliment. I would prefer the KA over the GT, the VTS has too much power to do a fair comparison on the other hand.

Shame you won't be keeping it in many ways.

We all know what engine can be dropped into one of these to make it silly! Turbo y0!

They are one of the better Ford's of recent years in my book, not only do they do their job as a mini, but they have good performance.

Pics please.
