Well I've only had the XF 18 months, but in January I found out my girlfriend was pregnant. So it's been eating away at me since then what to do with my car. I can afford the monthly payments, but it's everything else that makes it a little selfish of me to keep it. It needs 4 new tyres (£7-800) in a couple of months, warranty (£900) in February and a service not long after that which is a major one. With all that in mind I just decided I'll get a car that is cheaper to run for a couple of years then sneak in something less sensible again
...
I wanted something that was quite well specced, practical and roomy enough for the baby and drives well, maybe something not any less powerful or not far off.
And here's what I ended up with:
Massively missing the mark power wise
It's a Ford Focus (62 Plate) 1.0L Ecoboost Titanium. Quite a drop in power from a 3 litre XF, but I must admit it drives fantastically and is a really nice little car. The spec is really good too so I'm not left wanting for gadgets, and it's saving me a nice amount a month too. £500 refund in insurance was a very nice start.
Will put up a full review once I've had it a week
