see, the problem is you are now spoilt for all other cars.. i had the 1.8 zetec version of what you have now, and loved it way more than than the 2008 version i subsequently got.. the brand new version is another step in the wrong direction, apparently..shoes said:I drive a 1.6 petrol focus...
My friend worked at Davies motors and had his dad's old 'eco' Sierra and that drank fuel like it was water.shoes said:I'm finding the one I have is drinking fuel astonishingly quickly - the on board computer is telling me at cruise I am averaging 36mpg (60mph 5th gear). This is in conjunction with the engine feeling like it's actually 1.2 or less (literally no power whatsoever). I drive a 1.6 petrol focus which should be a fair comparison - sadly not. I spoke to the car people who told me it's always like this and it's not broken. Considering the engine has 'eco' stamped on it, and I am paying for the fuel I'm not happy, although it's going back this evening.

As 12million units have been sold it's not surprising although at 32million i'd expect to see a few more toyota corollas.......db said:see, the problem is you are now spoilt for all other cars.. i had the 1.8 zetec version of what you have now, and loved it way more than than the 2008 version i subsequently got.. the brand new version is another step in the wrong direction, apparently..shoes said:I drive a 1.6 petrol focus...
i'm so glad i decided at the last minute not to get one, and went with a fiesta.. because i was planning on getting a focus, it meant i could afford to get all the bells & whistles on the fiesta, and i couldn't be happier.. it's almost exactly the same size & shape as the focus you have, and because it is quite a bit lighter than my beast of a focus i can forgive the minor step-down from 1.8 to 1.6..
the only downside i've found so far is that they're so good, every motherhubbard seems to have one!
