very nice, drives like a hatchback. it's only the fwd version as my dad/mum don't go off road so it's perfect for them.
has every option posible on it: satnav/f+r parking sensors/panoramic roof/19's/privacy glass/xenons/full leather so is really nice to be in.
i'd definitely recommend one if you wanted the high driving position but normal car like driving abilities.
tax is £165 a year and averages 38mpg.

he loves it. he had a freelander before this and this is so much better for someone who doesn't go off road.
it's based on a focus which is a very good car in itself.

Driven a few through work and I really like them. Did some work on one in a metallic grey the other week which was nice.
That one of your dads is crying out for the wheels to be a inch bigger.
Also sod having a drive like that which you can't really fit on.

they are the biggest standard wheels you can get  19's.
and the drive is also the bit with my brothers missus' smart car on, my dad just likes parking it there. quite easy once you've done it a couple of times.

cheers. yeah i've had the orange peel paint on both fiestas and the focus. think all modern fords are like that. don't notice it until you look at pics.
cheers jeddy, lot of effort but worth it for the finished result.

im sure, but i wouldn't dare take it out for a drive or even leave it outdoors because i live very close to a quarry and it'd get covered in a fine layer of dusty dirty crap

not an option.
Jeddy, this will be dirty again in a week or so, but it will make it much easier to clean in future so hopefully my dad will stop letting bosnians clean it

I expect he's smuggling the Bosnians in with those arch gaps tbh. There's room for a herd of them up there.
Looks good though mate

Random question ive always wondered, how do front parking sensors work? Do you have a button to activate them?

Yeah there is a button on the centre console that turns them on or off.
Reversing camera aswell which comes up on sat nav screen which is handy.
