EUGH - not that sort of Galaxy (stupid Ford people carrier!!).  I've got a Ford Focus - it's lovely!!  The picture shows the saloon body style - I have the 5 door hatch in Magnum Grey - very stylish!!  Probably a little small though compared to most cars in the US!!

Does it still look stylish with the scratch marks on the wheel arch?

If you look at it from the driver's side, front or back (just don't look at the passenger side rear wheel arch!!).

They have them here, but they're considered compact cars, quite small. I drive a Grand Cherokee LTD.!


Looks like:



Except I took the Pizza cutter tires off and threw some serious rubber on her!

Ok - so mine isn't 4 wheel drive, but I don't need it - it's not like I live on a farm or anything!!  I have no idea how many miles it does to the gallon, but it's quite a lot.  I don't seem to need to fill it up that much!  I guess it depends what you need in a car!!

The focus gets radical milleage, I would imagine, probably one of it's finer points.


I don't live on a farm either, but it snows like a bugger in this state!

Oh I've driven one of those before. Was a rental car. How often do you have to switch out the hamsters under the hood?

Actually @ 26 mpg, the focus is no where near as fuel saavy as I would have guessed!

I was thinking like somewhere in the 40s...

It says that I get 16 mpg, but my computer in the car says 11 mpg.


The difference might be because I gas the **** out of it when the opportunity arises!
