• Ford Focus Mk2 Hatchback - Advice On Which Car To Buy 23 Feb 2017 (Forum)
  Alot of people i speak to say the 1.6 petrol engine is really good for MPG and alot cheaper and less to maintain than the diesel engines. I dont think i would go for a 1.8 diesel because of the insurance. So my question is, which model and engine should i go for, i like the idea of petrol for cost sakes and less hassle motoring but i really want a diesel for the MPG.
