London's Finest Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hey guys, as the title states; what do you think is the best thing about owning a smaller car? This discussion includes anything up to a focus. I'll go first! I love how: >easy it is to park >easily I can dart in and out of traffic. >Half a tank of fuel = good pick up speed. >1/8 - 1/4 tank = fast-ish to 60.

JackR Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 How quickly it accelerates. How you can throw her round any corner and it just sticks to the road. The fact that for an automatic, it's pretty fuel efficient. Comfortable to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dales Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Think my ST has got to have the worse turning circle ever. You try to park it and end up looking a right tool half the time. You have to take a swing at a parking space as if your in a truck lol. Don't get me wrong I don't think my Focus estate is anywhere near as bad. But the good thing. They like to be thrown about. go like 5hite aff a shovel. But for me. Its the smile it puts on your face when you want to have a bit of fun with it.

JackR Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Oi!....we're not all like that So you're telling me that when you see a corsa in your rear view mirror you don't feel your right foot automatically go down? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Don't need to, It's so far behind me it's not worth worrying about. Tbh the reason they're usually so far behind is because they are stuck in a lay-by broken down. :p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leezer Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Not much room inside compared to my old corsa but it feels better.Glued to the road compared to my corsa.A lot more responsive than the 1.6 focus I was driving for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London's Finest Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 The car's been described as a tardis. Apparently there's more room in mine than a clio 4 door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
