Out of Focus

In Focus · 13-10-2012, 08:25 PM

It is not without some regret that I wish to announce that I am no longer in a Focus. I've been test-driving a few higher powered machines and, much to my surprise, a Skoda Fabia RS hit the sweet spot, particularly price wise. In fact, I don't think you can get a new car with that performance for under $30k on the road, as they can be had for presently.

Loved my Focus, loving (and hoping to continue loving) the Skoda even more.

Been great hanging out with you guys, thanks for all the tips! I'll still be coming around occasionally as my wife has a Fiesta, but I won't be able to give (current) opinions on an LV Focus.

Haven't got any pics of the new ride, as the weather has been average today, but it looks exactly like this one here, even down to the seat colour. http://www.carsales.com.au/bncis/det...sort=default"]

Some people don't like the looks, but I'm cool with them - the car as it is doesn't seem to be trying too hard. The high roof makes it surprisingly roomy inside - a classic Tardis - and it seems to be one of these cars that doesn't photograph well, looks kind of awkward.

I surprised a WRX last night, who was probably lulled into thinking a little white "girls' car" could be blown away with no more than half rat-power...
