Hi guys, there is a long story that has let me down the path to wanting a Focus Hatch TDCI, but basically the round up is that once i got off my P's i wanted a XR6t or XR8 and ive been looking for some months and haven't found anything near what i want (6 Speed Manual, leather, colour screen and sunroof).
So unless 1 crops up soon im thinking focus but im still keeping my E series, so for a daily run around im considering a TDCI. Insurance should be cheaper then a "sports falcon" or even a XR5 and running costs should be way down too. Just want to ask if there are any options like sunroof and leather available on a TDCI cause all the cars on car sales have neither? Looking at spending around the 20 - 23 thou mark so it will be greatly cheaper then a falcon or xr5 and with the money saved will be looking at basic mods like audio, rims and lowered soon maybe cold air and exhaust in future as well. Choosing a diesel over a petrol cause girlfriend has a TDCI Mondeo and its awesome engine and delivers good economy in that car about 8.5l/100 (90% 'city driving') so focus manual should be better and more perky. Should keep u posted on updates Regards James |
