Which is all that really matters
Nothing wrong with a big shouty car, so long as it has the performance to back it up and you don't mind the attention

Re: My focus ST.. now replaced :( on page 2 :)
Well i truely loved my ST.. mad insane great car.. And I had owned it for 2 years!!!! 2 years thats madness for me
But i am loving my racing and doing that has shown me how much you can't really drive a car like that anywhere near properly on the road and it would never see the track..
that and trying to run that daily along with doing the sprint series was getting very expensive so one had to give..
wasn't giving up my racing!"!!!!
but i didn't need a cheaper car just one that didn't need new drive shafts, tyres 20mpg etc, general cheaper to run
had to a be a really nice car but fun to drive, good for when i go my roadtrips with Ben,Phil and Adrienne, everydayrunner that could just get in drive and not worry about..
Kel now has an X3 for large family type stuff due to bad back issue and its more comfy for her to drive
so meet my new daily.
Given a full detail and a drive out day after boxing day. went for a quick 5 min drive was out 2 hours
I have had it about 2months now and i have to say i love it a hell of a lot more than i expected to.. i am quite smitten with it.. just got it a stubby ariel, and bluetooth stereo
if its not raining to roof is down(fully electric with no catches to do), love the full heated leather
before anyone asks.. no its not a 6 cyl its the 2.0 4 pot... but trust me it still goes very well its very light compared to the 6clys and handles better as engine is further back.. i can hack it around without worrying i am going way to fast to soon etc and at no point have i thought i need more power,.. it is what it is and in the last month saved me £300 in fuel.
And i love it..
It is put to gether very well no rattle etc
The driving experiance is great nice seating position
It lives in DTC mode (dynamic traction control mode) which lets you have enough slip to have fun but not enough to be dangerous on uk roads..
I had to get a face lift, i prefer the lights, gets rid of the orange indicators on the early ones and the steering and suspension is made better in the facelift

Utterly different from the Mr2.. Well especially my one.
The bm is very tail happy.. But in a good way.. It has great feel and balance to it
Also in the bm you are sat over the rear wheels so you do a lot of driving feel through ya bum as you feeel everything the rear is doing .. The bonnet is soooooooo long. take ages to get used to that you can turn in earlier because you are sat further back in the car.. And it doesn't shake or rattle
