Michael9 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I got one last week the 1.9 it's good to drive and very comfy, says in the paperwork it's been mapped but doesn't say to what power. I don't know what to do with the focus as I can't run 2. Only thing is being a coupe I'm not used to 2 doors. Anyone had an Alfa what did you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurray01 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Well you obviously bought the Alfa for a reason so surely the Focus would be the car to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael9 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Not really it was bought on a whim as the guy needed money quick and got deal i would have been stupid to let go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurray01 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Not really it was bought on a whim as the guy needed money quick and got deal i would have been stupid to let go. I see. Well, if you can't keep both then you're going to have to decide yourself what you want to keep. I've been in that situation before myself, but it is subjective so I couldn't "tell" you what to do unfortunately. What I would say is to maybe use the Alfa for a whole week doing your day-to-day driving (going to work, shopping, leisure etc...) and then do the same with the Focus and hopefully then you'll know which one you prefer.

Michael9 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Easy....I prefer the Alfa hands down but 2 doors is a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurray01 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Easy....I prefer the Alfa hands down but 2 doors is a pain. I hate 3-door vehicles so know exactly what you mean, but you've got to think - how often will you need to access the rear? Do you often carry more than 1 passenger? If so, then the Focus will be the best practical option, but if it is only you or you and 1 passenger in the car, then maybe the occasional inconvenience of only having 3 doors is surmountable?

Preecematt Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Keep the Alfa and tidy it up, like really tidy it up and it'll be worth loads in years to come. + your not a true petrolhead until you've had an Alfa, Seriously though, Sorn the Alfa and have it as a project car, full resto job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael9 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Forgot to say....it's the 1.9 jtd There's nothing wrong with it that 2 front drop links won't fix (so the mechanic I use said), mot till Aug, drives great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the least get the drop links changed and then if you do sell it you can do so without any reason for the buyer to knock the price down.

Michael9 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 That's true....although being harder suspension than what I'm used, I do like it so if I can put up with that I will be happy and the focus will be sold :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
