It's just utterly boring to drive though, everything is assisted, it just takes the fun out of driving completely. There's nothing about all these euro boxes - I hate it but people these days aren't interested in driving, they just want the newest car they can (or can't) afford. I wish they'd switch to dateless plates like NI to lose the newest plate snobbery.
A good old raw car with some weight behind it is a lovely place to be, a bit of character!
Your Focus for example is a completely fine every day mode of transport but there's nothing wow when you're driving it - I drive so many cars now through work & something like your Focus just isn't something that I think 'Ooh I get to drive this today' as it's just a mediocre form of transport, if I pull up up at a mk2 Golf for example with no power steering & a good old lump to manoeuvre - it's the first thing in my mind when I think about my day!
Don't be 'the general public' - don't become the majority!
