But it is quite a heavy car and size wise etc. Not the most streemlined thing either.
Cheap insure prob because they common car and cheap repair etc. Good quality cars though.

No such thing as a Zetec S on a focus. Your thinkin more along the lines of fiesta mk5.

No, the figures given were for the 2.0 Zetec.
They aint grp 8 either, CIS rate them as 9A.

CIS break each insurance group down further, and they told me that it would go under grp "9a" on the fone. Which i guess might be similar to a "8e"?
Hmmm gotta querie that with em, coz my next car is a 5e.
