makes the new camry look primative and cheap, but about the same size.
Build quality, panel fit, trims are all first class, Very "euro" feel in style, handling is very good! tight and responsive! tyres are not that suited to our corse roads, so you do get a bit of noise on some surfaces, but not obtrusive. Instument layout is the best that ive ever seen in a Ford. Just get your butt behind the wheel of one, they will be in dealers stocks next week! See for yourself!

I'm thinking about a Diesel hatch for the Mrs early next year. It has (and I mean has) to have Leather for me to be interested, otherwise its another Mazda6. Auto has already been confirmed, so that isn't a problem.
I'll have to have a look at the Motor Show in Sydney next week.

the new Falcon will be drawing a lot from this car, as will most new models in the future, Ford call it "kinetic design" and will encompas all future models. Ford Aus is leaning towards drawing from Europe rather than the US in the disign stakes, so when to see this model, expect similar in local content! Heres a another buzz word your likely to become familer with, " Human machine interface" got all the info, specs, power/tourqe figs if anyone is interested! And Leather is an option!!!!! as well as sunroof, voice control yarrda yarrda |

Preimeter alarm, cap less refueling, dual zone climate, 17" alloys, fromt & rear parking sensors, fog lamps, sony six stacker(aka XR5 focus) rain sensors, power everything!. hense the lack of a ghia model! no need with a zetec with leather and roof option! XR5 picks up premium HMI interface, standard leather, and keyless start, along with the host of body styling, 18" alloys, sports stuff! etc etc Last edited by phoonfan; 10-10-2007 at 10:15 PM. |

Leather is a $2000 option, the front seats are heated. Makes the ZETEC $37k plus on roads.
