Wrote: This was a nice spec, didn't get to view it in the end but it had the climate control, winter pack inc. heated leather recaros and some aftermarket BBS wheels on it, did look very smart, and it only had 70k miles on it hence why it was more expensive. In fact it was a bit of a bargain at the time, compared with other prices.
Allas, I didn't get it, I didn't like the drive of a Bora I tested either and it seemed expensive, so I ended up with £3,500 worth of Ford Focus. Lost £400 in 3 months as I fecking hated it!!
Ah fair enough, don't see many with milage like that now lol!
Leather recaros in a 130 is damn rare, they weren't standard in 130s, have to make do with the cloth 'recaro style' seats in the GT TDI 130!
Which arent as comfy as the meridian half leathers in all honesty. They have a lot more movement, but still never found a comfortable position.Yeah I wouldn't have bought a Focus personally, would've had the mondeo as they're so much nicer inside and look better imo - infact I may still be considering a TDCi.
Thing is, I'll be 21 in Feb, and I'll get 4 yrs NCB at the end of Feb, so insurance shouldn't be too much of an issue then.....meaning I can spend a little more on a car!
I thought I could 'put up with' a standard HDi for a while, but its really not happening lol. I'll probably get another one from xmas until ~Feb so insurance doesnt change when I give Sams car back. But after that I think I'll be looking about for something a little quicker and better specced as standard!
