These and the Puma were genuinely good little cars apart from the rust, I had a Puma and it was great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2flags Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 They were cars that were used. I had one as my driving school car for a while. When they brought out the new model there was a supply problem so we went over to the Focus. Good little cars, if a little underpowered. Well put together. We had the 1.25 engine ones. I think rust and the fact they were youngsters cars finished a lot of them. Many ended their lives upside down in a ditch, or hedge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort1977 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 My mother has had one since 2004, passed another MOT in November. AC still works amazingly. Sadly it's not ULEZ compliant so she will have to get rid this year. theshadow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
