1998 Ford Focus 1.6LX


1.6L, Silver, [Similar car shown]

Driven: 1998
Place: Heathfield, East Sussex, UK
Context: Hire Car

Memory byte:
One of the many cars used to travel up to Leeds for work. Remember thinking the first time I drove it, that it felt a bit like a people carrier what with all that headroom. Chassis was pretty good, even if the engine and gearbox were less willing. Also, one of the first cars I have driven that didnt have the standard 'tick tick' noise for indicators. Soundly thrashed like all good hire cars!
