I had a ST Line Focus loan car with 1.5L 3 cyl turbo and 8sp auto, too expensive for what you get.

Ford is poor value for money these days.

No manual is a killer for me and the old man, we prefer changing our own gears in our small dailies.
Yeah I'll be sorry to see it go, it really was a driver's car.

Not 100% suited to Australian roads, but I loved driving it.

I ended up doing 99% of the driving in it by myself (and not much at all this year due to COVID) as my partner thinks it's:
  1. Too uncomfortable
  2. Too 'bouncy'
  3. Too hard to reach the seatbelt
  4. Too easy to get wedged between the back seat and the front seat if you slip off the seat off getting out of the back (don't ask, long story).
Plus I drive like a hoon in it, apparently.

...although she also levels that one at me when I drive her Mazda 2, so maybe it's just me and small nippy cars

It's only done ~29,000km in four years...
