• Ford Focus Mk1 - Ford Focus Mk1 or Mk2, Zetec.. Or ST170 24 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  Is it false economy if it needs constant repairs etc.,    I see no end of Mk1's on the road which is a good advert  to the quality, but my gut feeling is to hold on until I might be able to afford a Mk2, that said they still seem out of my budget. If a car this old is really not an issue and I check F/S/H service stamps etc, then would the ST170 be worth looking at as it seems to have everything- only thing that concerns me is the mpg which if I am on a tight budget it seems daft to buy something that is going to consume fuel like there's no tomorrow!
