Default Re: LZ Focus (Thai Models)

I test drove the Sport in the weekend and it jumped up from being a non-contender to a serious consideration very quickly.

The drive was great, very impressed. The 1.5 sounds good/is punchy and I think it steered very well - I actually had my heart set on a Golf Highline until I drove this.

However, like Peco has mentioned - the interior is a bit of a step down in general (not sure what the previous versions are like) but it seems a bit cheap inside.

For me, it's a better drivers car than the Golf is, but the Golf is still a better all rounder package if you can look past the DSG/Dieselgate issues (which admittedly is a very big consideration). The Focus is also a few thousand cheaper (I can pick one up for around 29500 for the Sport compared to 33500 for the Highline).

I'm very torn between the two. If the dealers were willing to knock the price down to about 27500 I think I would bite. As it stands at the moment (and I suspect this is to do with limited stock) I can't get this price.
