Hmmm. I just got back from my Ford Focus test drive. It was really, really
nice. It felt like a real car. 1.8 TDI or something. About the same price
as the Megane (but with twice as many miles on it). I found the Ford a bit
easier to drive than the Honda (I am a useless driver). And although the
Megane has lots of cool stuff, I really want a diesel. I wish I could have
tried a diesel Megane, but they didn't have one. Do I get the Ford (which
is nice and black like the old car so I won't lose it in car parks) or the
Honda, which is shiny and blue, but costs nearly £2000 more?
