I have a 21 plate focus titanium with all the extras low mileage (5500). Next year will be three years so need to pay residual or change.

have been reviewing a Puma as alternative ( we are two pensioners) 

any suggestions?  is a puma in the same league as focus?

    It’s a jacked up overweight fiesta. It’s a step back from your focus.

    Best thing is to try one for yourself if poss. They were offering 24 hour test drives recently on the "electrified" (ie MHEV) models.

    You might like the (slightly) raised seating position. Some friends of mine did, but then looked further afield at other cars offering a raised seating position and ended up with a VW T-Roc.

    You're probably already aware but that screw placement is technically an MOT fail. :unsure:

    Registration plates must not:

    have any feature or fixing that has the effect of changing the appearance or legibility of any of the characters

    Kill joy! 🤣🤣. Mot tester probably won't care less. Will know  if he fails it and screw is taken back out for retest, that screw will go back in afterwards.

    It's not actually a screw...it's just the plastic cap and it's stuck on with blue-tack so it's easily removable should the need arise  :whistling::whistling:
