£3k car for sister - focus?

[scorza]

My sister is after a new car for £3k max. Being a girl she's come up with a bizarre requirement - it must have an arm rest! Atm she's thinking about a Ford Focus - is this going to be realistic? What other alternatives are there? Must also be better than her current Nissan Micra.

The Focus doesn't have an arm rest does it?

I had a Chic which was pretty high spec (for a focus ) and that didn't have one.

Edit: Ah the link above has one. must have been part of the Ghia spec.

Citroen Xantia in that case tbh! Seriously what a wierd requirement. I didn't think most "girl" cars had "manly" armrests. Most girls complain that they get in the way of the handbrake/gears. Second thoughts...GET A RANGE ROVER!

I'm sorry but she's going to have to drop that idea pretty quick if she wants to buy a car before her 80th birthday.

Just been in a Focus Zetec Climate about half an hour ago and it had one. Was the Focus II though (57 reg) - dunno about the first Focus, which is more inside the budget...
