is that the 1.6 demo model thats been doing the rounds at the dealers and ford road shows ????
we had to pick one up and store it at work over the weekend a few months back because it wouldn't start pmsl

and the key bonnet release has been removed from the front grill so the bonnet couldn't be opened

A friend of mine that works for sandicliffe ford in leicester has driven there demo model. It even arrived in the workshop with no coolant in it He says they feel pretty quick, quicker than the RS focus. It only had 3 miles on the clock.

Well how come ALL the reviews in the mags declare it to be the BEST hot hatch, better than the golf gti, Astra VXR, Alfa 156, and Supercharged Corolla then if it's so shit?

And as fooking if the FRS was shit????!!!!! Even the shit ones have held 75% of their value because the demand for them is still so high

I'd have thought it was fairly simple

One is cheaper, one is faster, and one is reputed to be much better handling...........none of which have a fookin griffin in the front
