2011/12 Focus Trend LW - opinions please.

[supershifty]

My eldest daughter wants to upgrade from her first car (Mazda Genki) to a Focus - makes me proud she does.

I only have knowledge of Falcons pre 2000, know nothing about the modern kit out there or anything with less than six cylinders.

So I call on you guys that could make us aware of anything to look out for. I have mechanical aptitude, so you don't have to keep it too basic.

Any opinions good or bad are most welcome and greatly appreciated.

Here's some examples Ashley linked to me of what she is looking for:

1. http://www.carsales.com.au/private/d...-3866992/?Cr=4 - the only bummer about this one is they've fitted 18 inch alloys to it (factory standard is 16 inch) so that will make tyres more expensive.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

Edit: If any of you know of a good one within say an hour of Brisbane metro, PM me.
