Default Can't decide what car to buy next...help!

I'm thinking about £3k on a Fiesta Zetec-S, a late 51/02 reg Phoase 2 model

OR

Around £4-5k on a Focus TDi or TDCi?????????

The only thing stopping me deciding on the Zetec-S is obviously fuel consumption as I will be doing atleast 40miles a day to work and back now I'm losing the van...

I've got a 1.6 Zetec Escort at the moment, and I used to do around 800-1000 miles a month before this job, and that used to cost me around £120-160 a month in fuel

Any input welcome

It's a difficult one mate!!

I had a TDCi Sport Focus which was lovely and comfortable and pretty fast, but Zetec-S's are nice looking motors and although a lot less comfortable, I wouldn't think you'd lose much on depreciation on the Fez as they are a popular choice and will still be popular in the future

I think I've actually talked myself into it

Go for the Fez

I keep doing exactly what you've just done mate, talking myself into the Fiesta

I may stick with the Escort as I drove it tonigh for the first time in 2 weeks and its suprising
