When I said possibly a Focus he burst out laughing and said you have to be joking as their transmission is rubbish and constantly breaking. I told him it's a completely different transmission but he was't convinced. This is the issue Ford faces with Focus and there current ads do nothing to show the buying public things are now different.

I went from an 2013 Focus with it's rubbish transmission to a new STline fully optioned up and it is a ripper of a car. The only criticism is the engine noise when accelerating is a touch loud but once cruising its a dream to drive.
Fantastic car
