Mk1 - which model should I get ? - y2k+4
Hey there,

I am getting ready to trade down from my mk2 Focus TDCi 110 to a mk1, but am having difficulty deciding between two models. The 1.6 Ebony 03 with heated leather seats, parking sensors, loads of xtras, or the 1.8 TDCi Sport 53, which has less equipment, but does look a little more special but has the advantage of diesel economy and power...both have around 40,000 miles.

The crux of the matter is whether the TDCi with it's alloys and slightly mroe special styling inside and out, is worth the £1200 over the 1.6. Am i right in thinking it's a very expensive engine to repair, without being particularly reliable (the 1.6 was very reliable that I had before the mk2 Focus)?

Thanks

SLT
