yeah most sub 1k focuses now are ropey, my mate was looking for one for someone the other week who only had 1k to spend and could'nt find one with solid sills! mine looked fine untill we prodded them lol but all good now.

i love the car for what it is, drives nice, would like more power but then it would cost more to run.

That's good mpg though cos last decent run i did with 4 people and a boot full of luggage i returned about 42mpg i think
