I'd probably go for the Fiesta, but I like Fiesta's!

How big a car do you need? The Fiesta might be a little small.

What size engine is the Focus? 1.6?

Focus.

Rule out the Escort as it does look and feel very dated now.

Rule out the Fiesta............. cos it's Fiesta

focus is 1.8,, just for me so size doesnt really matter,, always liked the focus but think the early ones a bit plain unless you change the wheels, which i would do!!
zetec s is quite sporty as they are but i always think of fiestas to be a bit girly!!
but i do like them i have had a couple of fiestas in the past

i am swaying to the focus to be honest..

Found one its 2 owner from new 49k full ford history , t reg silver air con etc,
it had one lady owner then the sales directors husband of the ford garage bought it,, its Ł3300 which i think is quite a good price for focus what you reckon

i dont really need a big car i was just thinking that the fiesta looks more sporty, where as the focus doesnt really, but with a nice set of wheels should change that

imp blue.. with Ford racing seats..yum yum.

Lower strut brace really makes it good to drive.

Only thing to watch for imo apart from accident damage is the lower arm bushes as per any fiesta and the drop link bushes on the roll bar. Fairly cheap to replace. Mine is fully poly bushed now.
