New Car Opinions ?

I'll Focus (hahahhahahaha etc lol bbq sorry) on the 2.0 trim levels for you.

You'll be finding cars in three forms - Ghia, Zetec and Zetec ESP. Ghia is the 'luxury' model although we'll use that with a bit of salt with the Focus. It has velour seats, fake plastic wood, a CD changer, alloys, air conditioning.

Zetec is the 'sporty' model - you get 16" alloys on the 2.0 and 15mm lower suspension, but with the earlier models at least you don't get air conditioning - it was an option and came with the 'climate pack' which included heated mirrors and a heated front windscreen as well.

Later Zetec's had AC and heated screen as standard, later Ghia's had rear electric windows and climate control.

Zetec ESP is a Zetec with Electronic Stability Package - they made a song and dance about it and gave it its own little model designation.

Performance etc is the same in both models BUT only the Zetec is available as a 3 door.

Thank you.

Hi,

I own 5dr 53 plate 5door t-sport and its a cracking little car. mine is for Sale on Autotrader . Whats your budget ?

Right, i'm quickly coming up to having 1 year ncb and i'm itching for something a bit quicker. I'm basically looking at something around a 1.6 and not above group 10, so basically a warm hatch.
Would ideally get a Clio 182 but insurance is a killer so it will have to wait.

As of now i'm completely torn between a Clio 1.6 16v and a Yaris T-Sport, i'm currently leaning towards the Yaris because it looks the dogs, is something different, isn't too slow either and it makes an awesome noise.
The Clio has the bonus of everthing i've got in my 1.2 now will just swap over and I get gadgets such as climate and cruise control which I can't have in the Yaris but to me it just doesn't have the same wow factor the Yaris does and is in effect the same old Clio thats just faster, don't get me wrong I love my Clio but something new would be nice.
The insurance for both is pretty much the same give or take 30 notes and the cost of buying and running is about the same
Have also looked at a drove both a VTR and a Zetec-S and can't get on with them, the zs does look good I won't deny but I just can't get on with that interior.

Specs on both incase anyone wonders:

Yaris : http://www.parkers.co.uk/choosing/sp...=1275&id=20824

I'm after peoples opinions and what would you have ?
What do people think of the Yaris ?

Sorry I haven't been responded but i've just got back from a weekend in newcastle so obviously had no internet.
The Focus certainly does look good and I'll definetly be checking one out, 2.0l power (ish) would certainly be nice.
