Quoting: Fieldy
2005 focus


Is that the new(er) shape ?

I bought Sammy a '99 Focus 1.8L and it was pretty fun but the thought of doing a 150-mile run in it made my back ache !

The Mondeo does handle like a boat, but it's so forgiving on long journeys.

2005 is the Mk2 like mine, but pre facelift. 2008 they made changes to the front, rear and wing mirrors, moving the side mounted indicator into the wing mirror housing.

The rear spoiler on the hatch back changed to a 'winged' type with the facelift, as well at the interior trim getting updated, and the dash panels and gauges becoming a bit more 'sporty'.

Yes RK, it was the crossover year so I wanted the MK2.
Never looked at one before but test drove this and loved it. Done Devon and back the other day and found it good enough, but I have the grand voyager for the longer drives.
