Hi there, have signed up to a few Ford forums, but they all seem to be dead, hopefully this is the Forum with a bit of life

At the moment I have a MK4 Golf, and will be upgrading to either a Fiesta or Focus in Jan/Feb.

What I want to know is what Fiesta/Focus should I go for, or what should I avoid, if anything?

This is the car I have fellen in love with..

Does anyone have any experience with the 1.4 titanium?

I'm 19 so not looking for anything too high powered, but suggestions welcome

Thanks!

cossiejay

nice but needs bigger wheels imo

BallsDeep

The wheels and the leathers would be a first purchase of mine

Are there any Fiestas to avoid? Like the 1.25 or the 1.6 etc

Any common problems?

I heard somewhere you have to change oil every 5k miles?

Buy a Beemer - probably more popular on here

Im easy when it comes to fords but most on here have YB tattoo's if you know what I mean , Focus ST2s get my vote as a lot of car for not much money but for low ins maybe a fez ZS

Skip focus st170 ect not that fast and will be high insurance

Fiesta zetec's are fun and cheap for you being group 6 insurance and have loads of tuning potential, in any of the shapes/models

Give nick at gatwick used car centre a ring I'm sure he can get something to suit your needs and might take yours as px

Insurance is no good for a 19 year old with a beemer

I want to buy something lower powered for a couple of years then I can think about a beemer along with other cars

BallsDeep

I should of mentioned, I am 19, 1 year NCB and can't afford insurance on anything too high powered

I am after something low powered for a couple of years to build my NCB!

The Titanium's have more optionals though, from what I can see the Zetecs don't have cruise etc, and the Titanium I'm looking at looks like it has the Zetec S Kit on it?

Won't be buying until Jan/Feb so just seeing what people say, I'm just weary about buying a Fiest or Focus then something going wrong so I'm after some ideas of what to avoid etc

depending on year focus/fiesta are pretty good cars main issues tend to really be silly ones or poorly maintained

BallsDeep

I'm looking at 10,11,12 plate Fiestas and 09/10/11/12 plate focus' mate, something new.

What's the best Focus? As in with cruise control, bluetooth etc?
