I like the newer fords but they just arnt as special to me. It would be a sad world if we all liked the same things though.
Fair play
I wish I had a daily as nice as a 3.0 mondeo, Transit Connect is my daily hack although I wrote my 55 plate one off just before Christmas last year, I now have a new model one a 64 plate 15 reg and it's like driving a car
a vast improvement over the older models.
My focus gets a few looks when I'm out in though I must say
the noise of it and the matt black finish makes it stand out from the crowd

I've given up on the chasing power side of things now, not because I was bitten financially but because I'd rather just go for a nice ride out of a Sunday afternoon and enjoy my 3dr for what it is, without worrying about the speeding ticket that might be on my doorstep for the following 2 weeks lol, I had a 400bhp mk2 frs and they really are a fantastic car, for me that is about perfect for road use in one, with decent suspension and brakes they're hard to beat imo.
But, for me anyway, as someone said above, the cossie makes me feel like a teenager when I take it out lol, the focus didn't really have the same effect.
I totally agree with you Karl, I treat my Focus the same was as I did my Cosworth but it does feel special to me when I get it out of the garage
from a Connect to frs a big difference
