Just a few lines to thank the members who responded to my recent questions and queries about the above.   The advice I received was invaluable and helped me choose the right model and spec,  in  the end I bought a 17 plate Titanium from a Ford dealer in Ballymena, Northern Ireland and found them excellent. Test driving different years and models wasn't a problem and the sales exec helped me through the myriad number of options and slight differences between models.  As a newbie I was reluctant to ask questions here about DRL's and Alloys etc but am really glad I did.

Glad to hear you're a happy Focus owner and that this forum has been helpful, welcome aboard 🙂
