    I agree, I've driven both numerous times and 1.0 so much better to drive, and livelier.

    Torque is the same, 170Nm, with 200Nm on overboost. Pre-facelift Mk3 Hatchback 0-62 is 11.3, 31-62 is 10.8. Post-facelift Mk3.5 Hatchback 0-62 is 11.0, 31-62 is 11.8. Estate versions ar

    Until 05-05-2014 the electric coolant pump is installed on the 1.0 ECOboost with a factory fitted towing hook only. After 05-05-2014 all 1.0 ECOboosts have the electric coolant pump as standard.

Were you refering to the wedding day or marriage? :D

    Lol the wedding day.

    Although I guess if you buy a car without permission it could be the latter, haha.

    Yes 1.6 EcoBoost's are rare, I've only seen 1 in the last couple of months! I've seen more versions of the 1.5 EcoBoost.

    Because they are rare, and at the moment you've got your eye on a black titX 150bhp one, only makes sense to look into seriously into getting it. You never know when your going to see another 1.6 EcoBoost :wink3:

    Don't even tempt me lol I'll get in trouble with the misses. Getting married in 3.5 weeks ! I'm sure she wouldn't like to see me spend money on a car rather than the wedding !

    Sent from the pub with a pint in the other hand.

    Ok the future wife in 3.5 weeks does have a huge bearing, so to keep you alive, I won't tempt you anymore :wink3:.

    Very nice focus you got Kiefer. Personally I'd be worried about getting a black car, they show the scratches so easily. Can't you get it bluefin remapped for the time being to add a bit more tongue in the middle? A lot cheaper whilst you work your way around the misses! :biggrin:

    I would remap my car but it's just an NA 1.6 125bhp. Not much point without a turbo I believe !

    I've decided on a 1.6 ecoboost. The 1l is nice, and I can see why some folk prefer/enjoy it. But when I am in the car I like mostly like relaxing driving. The 1l feels like you are always "encouraging" it to go, where as the 1.6 has a more "gliding" feel to it. Nothing wrong with either style, but the 1.6 suits me better.

    Picking up the car on the 25th. It's a titanium spec model, with a few extras and is that weird shade of yellow/green. 

     

    My choice and for the same reasons.
