My beloved car will have to depart at the end of the summer due to money
Need to start saving up the bucks so what to do next?
Don't want something completely boring just something a bit more economical
Looking at fez ZS diesel mk 6, focus diesel mk1 and 2
Not sure what else I should be considering?
Budget of about £6k but will consider something even at £3k (doesn't all have to be spent)
Open to suggestions, anyone? (Doesnt have to be fraud I just like them)

MK1.5 TDCi Sport Focus is a really good car.

The 1.6 TDCi in the Fiesta is a bit sluggish but in a MKII Focus it has the better turbo (in 109PS form) but still has £35 tax.

You should also be able to pick up a Focus II 2.0 TDCi for that much money as well

Ouch mate

Bad news Adam

GET A MOTORBIKE

Keep the car! Sell something else - how much do kidneys go for these days?

Can reccomend the diesel focus. The 1.8 is a strong motor but make sure you get the 115 version.

There is the limited edition one that i think that dave mentioned. Is slightly lowered and a 3 door. With a re-map would make a great car and very cheap to run

Here you go Adam,



They start at 3k

depends what you want. if u wanna save some serious dosh i could hook you up lol!!! 2004 1.1 saxo lol sweet little ride ...... mint condition vtr alloys, yokohama tyres, spoiler, CD player, all colour coded bumpers including sprayed grilles. 46k miles and 2 owners. £2895. think of all those pennies you would save Adam lol! u would be loaded + car does 350-400 miles on one tank of petrol! bargain!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea but I'd have to drive a saxo....

Plus it wouldn't be as quick as a diesel focus which would probably do more MPG
And if I crashed in a saxo I would die!

Is that the sport version Micky?

Also Robbo I can't get a bike till I move out but I need to save the money to move out so need to sell the car to move out

yer but thats the price you pay for saving all that money buying a saxo??


hhmmmmm maybe not then??


any takers..... im not desperate...... honest

Yes it is Adam. Where the tdci wins, is in gear acceleration and as i showed with mine (same engine as the sport). Felt faster than my petrol zs when accelerating in 3rd and even on the 0-60 at ford fair it was quicker than my zs.

Will pm you the autotrader link for that one so you can find out more

My RS is for sale at £2500.

you can't go wrong with a focus
