Smart car, i got the same colours just with a few extras what did you get on yours or is it standard?

 

Whats the pull like in it? I took a focus for a test ride and that seems to pull a little bit with 4 people inside but it is a heavier car..

 

Get mine wed/thur!

Mine just has privacy glass and a spare wheel. The standard spec is enough for me it just so happened that the one they had in stock had the added options. It's very nippy to be fair and 2nd gear picks up with amusing ease. I looked at the figures and its slightly more powerful than the older 1.6 zetec-s petrol and slightly faster both in acceleration and top speed. The torque is actually the same as the older 1.6 tdci zetec-s.

 

Despite all that, mine was purchased with cost savings in mind. My previous motor, SD4 Freelander 2, had 2.2 turbo diesel with 190bhp and 315 lb ft of torque. The only thing that stopped it from being !Removed! quick was that it was a 2 tonne brick on wheels. Put that engine and power in a saloon car and it would be pretty !Removed! quick.

Looks very smart,I notice you have the infamous missing alloy pedal covers fitted at least.

Would be interested in hearing how it settles down with the average MPG.

Well here it is:

 

Very pleased with it. Smooth as silk with more than enough poke and I averaged 48mpg coming home which was mostly town driving and the engine isn't even run in yet!

 

 

 

 

 

What mats did you end up getting?

I need to get some for mine but worried the MK7 do not fit?

Got mats from the dealer. £30 wasn't bad for official Ford ones.

Well they fit my new car put it that way. I don't have any knowledge of the pre-facelift interior to be able to comment on whether or not the fittings are the same. The dealer just told me they were suitable mats.
