My Focus - LS LX hatch

[prydey]

i've now officially joined the focus ranks. my first experience was a few months back when i bought one for my mother in law and then my wife liked it so she wanted one.

not much to see. just standard at the minute. given that its the wife's car it'll probably stay that way although i can't help myself. it will probably get alloy/chrome scuff plates and it could do with lowering but like i said, it is the wife's.

here's a couple of pics. just got it delivered from mt gambier to adelaide so gave it a bath straight away, but then put it in carport before taking pics. not that it matters. i think we've all seen a focus hatch before






whilst it looks a lot more finished off with the full centre console, it doesn't really have much storage. i guess thats what the glovebox is for. manual is so much better than the auto (mother in law's is auto).

only real issue is it has a rattle inside the drivers side rear door trim. obviously its been off at some point or something is broken in there or both. maybe someone could give me some tips on pulling the trim off. couldn't be bothered trying to get it fixed under warranty, thats if it would even be covered.

its only done 59000km too. cost me 12k delivered and on road. car only was $11150 or something. i think thats a bargain. esp for a lx. others might not agree but it was by far the cheapest on the net for the km and model. noticed it has airbags in front seats too. bonus.
