It's time to look into a family vehicle and leave the focus in the driveway 90% of the time :(
I've took a couple 06 versions out for a drive the 2.4I FWD and a T5 AWD version, both in auto.
Really enjoyed both the cars.
I'm ideally looking for a T5 FWD in 6 speed manual (240bhp) :D , but haven't driven one yet.
I figured its a great looking little car, really similar to the Focus and Mazda 3 and there a lot cheaper than what I expected (an 06 Volvo for around $15000 :blink: ).
Another bonus is I can do some simple mods for it for pretty cheap and it looks great.
So I was wondering if anyone had anymore insight about them, pros/cons etc...
heres a couple pics in case you don't know what they look like :lol:
