Personally I think its to big a car for a 1.4 Petrol. Liz's friend had a 1.6 Petrol and she said the engine was underpowered for the car particularly on long journeys.

If you can get the Zetec or above, as it'll come with a heated screen, which is one of the best features the car has IMHO.

IIRC Ford dont put the 1.4 Diesel into the Focus.
