Got an fn2 as I needed room to carry my drum kit around, the boot is huge and the seats fold flat into the floor, so it's like a van. Although on first impressions it has a hard ride and feels a bit docile. Once you are on it and giving it some beans it is very rewarding to drive, incredible grip, accurate steering and vtech is so addictive, the induction sound is so good even in standard form. I love it.

Nice list. I would say add another £500-£800 to insuer any of those and possibly high cost of repairs as most of those hot hatchbacks after 10 years of use need a lot of parts to be replaced.Another 3-5k to add up depending on mileage. They are cheap to buy only.

Diesel though lol. 0-60 is 6.5 seconds so only 1 car in the list is slower as well. Solid long distance motorway cruiser but not a fun exciting car by any stretch of the imagination. Not shitting on it, just pointing out if fills a different niche from the cars in this video

@briantyson3452 2 года назад

Not a hot hatch is it

@wittmanist 3 года назад

I had the st focus. Hours of fun to drive, but plagued with finishing issues. The engine was fine, but within a year all the door seals were hanging off, and the covering had come off the steering wheel and gearstick. Also the roof liner came off. Its still a common sight to see the last model st cruising round with the rubber seals sticking out of the bottom of the doors. I've spoken to a Ford guy recently and apparently they acknowledge the last iteration of the focus all had these issues and they've now fixed them. Great fun car, but be prepared for these irritating faults. Not an expensive fix but annoying anyway

Also because of the smaller engine and that they are not that common especially with boy racers, I am 20 and have had my renewal quote at just 1K, which is really cheap for insurance

Yes. Actually it was made on the same wheelbase than te Focus ST (which also had the same 5 cylinder engine from Volvo) and the Mazda MP3. Jeremy Clarkson said that the Volvo C30 was probably the best- looking hatchback ever made.

Cars so much fun, great first RWD car for me, very usable linear power and just a remap away from the 130i's performance!

@@sajakhtar852 you should look up the 125i E82 maybe. The 125i and 130i are the same exact engine, but they only sold the 130i at 260+bhp in the hatches and they only sold the 125i with 214bhp in the coupes/verts.
