After looong waiting and numerous back and forths the new member to the family has arrived yesterday. So far the car is absolutely brilliant and picking up the power hour by hour. I feared the 1.0l 125bhp won't be too much joy to drive, but it is. Not an ST but perfect for everyday use. Love the gadgets in it but the look steals the show by a mile. Gotta also say the seats are much nicer and hold sides better than they did in the Fiesta.

All in all very chuffed with the Focus.

Belter!

Nice - I have new car envy!

Looks very nice indeed.

Woooo nice!! like my ZS as well! Went for the 1.5 which is quick but did really want the 1.0 for no tax etc. They look so good right, I think the rear bumper is better on these than the ST

looks great , nice colour and love those alloys :-)

Very nice!

Looking somewhat familiar lol.

Enjoy :)

enjoy the smell of new car nothing quite like it

Yeah except that the car had been treated with Diamondbriye, so I've been high from the products they used for the interior. But yeah I know what you mean.

Yeah I reckon the zs looks as good as an St.

My zs is black but for its replacement I reckon back to white or deep impact blue.

I couldn't agree more. I believe the ST rear bumper is a miss a bit, but the exhaust makes it up for it.

Had to make most of the nice weather, so took a picture with a proper camera this time.

Also successfully scratched the left front alloy a bit. It was a matter of time to be honest, and I actually forecasted it will happen on day one. :)

Nice car ....better buying now before 2017 that's when the road tax hoes to £140

You do realise under the new tax rules in April the 1.0 will be 140 for road tax

Seriously? Not that it matters, now that I have the car...

That's only cars registered from April 2017

Stunning, that engine is amazing.

Nah, it is in London mate. But they just had an update to their look recently too.

car looks great, how have you managed to dink the wheel, get the stuff in front to move out the way ENJOY.

Easier than it sounds mate, high kerbs. Not stressed though got tyre and alloy insurance.

Still no marks on my alloys even with the wife driving had it since start of April

You want to fit Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric tyres like used on the ST as they have an anti-kerbing ridge on the bead.

Saved me kerbing a couple of times so far.
