Apologies for butting in on this, but I too am considering changing to one of those 4 cars.
My concern with the focus is that I have a fiesta (old, 1997) and have often found it to be a bit 'skittish' for want of a better word on the road. Didn't find it felt very stable at times, particularly on bad roads. I have not yet taken a focus for a test drive, I would be talking about a slightly older version than the OP - probably a 2003 or 2004.
I test drove a 2003 Corolla lately and found it felt much more solid on the road than my fiesta.
Now obviously a fiesta is a much smaller car than a focus (particularly the older models), but does anyone who has a focus find that they can be a bit of a handful sometimes?
I think I've taken over from the OP - sincere apologies- I'll keep this one nice and short.
My budget is between 10 - 13k, looking for at least a 03 either focus or corolla.
2 quick questions re the focus: 1. Can you get a ghia hatchback? 2. Is a 1.6 much better than a 1.4 in tems of speed pick up etc.?
thanks again.
