Here's one for you.

If there was anything that you could of changed with your car, as it came out of the factory, what would it be? (being realistic of course!)

I have a few small ones with mine. Ideally an Oil temp gauge, a 6 speed gearbox and some bloody proper sealing on the rear arches to stop them from rusting...

What about you guys?

On the si would of made superior models obsolete but 2.0 engine option knowing how easily they could of done it
sorted the silly drainage system for the sun roof
Central locking as standard
Shorter gear stick. Feels like a van lol.

On the focus would be nice to cruise control, sun roof as standard. Longer 6th gear.

The only thing I would change on the mk3 is for it to have a galvanized chassis

Another one for the si, have the spare wheel compartment in the boot instead of underneath. Avoids rotting threads and manky wheels.

Adam - oh yeah. Forgot they exist!

Chris - but the fronts are great for night time b-road driving. I use them but turn them off if other cars are coming or are in front. They help light the sides of the road up. Don't see why the aren't wired up to the main beam as you don't use that in the presence of others either....
