General chat to start with, it's a focus underneath but the focus has better suspension and is probably cheaper.

Front and side profile is awesome - love it.
The rear looks shocking and on that alone I couldn't have one.
Pretty expensive for any of the hot versions too!

I think it looks nice considering it's a Volvo!
It has to be white though

You dont want anything less than an R-Design spec. I had a 2.5 Turbo R-Design for a month, identical to that one pictures.
Twas alright, but the interior was a bit cheap and the materials wore pretty quickly.

£1300 fo the focus as of next july mate, getting old have never been so good  that's £900 less than i pay now at 20
i was going to buy the c30 r-design instead of the focus st as they both have the same engine in them iirc.
but, the volvo was too high priced for what is esentially a more radical looking focus st.
nice car's though, just a fast hot hatch style car for the respected middle class businessman.
don't expect wonders with regards to economy.
i get 5MPG yes that's 5MPG while i'm on full boost (0.6-0.7 bar at the moment, 1.2 bar when re-mapped) and between 15-22mpg for town driving.
22 mpg is achieved by being a grandad driving like an old far in town.
15mpg is easily achieved with fast powerful driving like i do
you'll hit 30mpg easily on motorways but this car loves country roads.

You're paying £2200 on insurance
That was the price of quotes I was getting on an Audi S3 @ 19 and when I decided the S3 can go fuck
Very good discount for a years difference though
