Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec

Advantages: A great car from all angles
Disadvantages: Not as many extras included as I would have liked

...I am now the proud owner of a ford focus 1.6 zetec and for the first time in many years I have actually found a car that pretty muc suits all my needs. I have spent many a time in cars that are too big, too small, not suitable, not comfortable etc but this is everything I could ask for. I own the three door version but the doors open widely and when the front seat is moved forward there is plenty of room to get anyone in the back, even my mother in law who is disabled. The back of this car is extremely spacious, comfortably fitting 3 large adults in. The boot size is deceiving in that it looks pretty small but is very spacious indeed. Perfect for all those shopping bags as well as a childs pushchair. The actual drive of this car is superb. Mine runs on unleaded and is very economical. I can get over 200 miles to £35...

Ford Focus 1.6 - Shocking!!

Advantages: Handling and Looks
Disadvantages: Customer Service, Bodywork, Transmission...

...Two years ago I decided to buy a brand new car, and after much research I decided upon the Ford Focus 1.6 (old style now). Everything I had read pointed towards a really good choice. So I went into my local Ford dealer and a week later I had my nice new car. First thoughts were a good looking car, well built, fantastically smooth to drive, held the roads amazingly well. All of the equipment worked wonderfully well and I absolutley loved my new car. Then the problems began.... After two weeks the Airbag Modulator failed, so I went back to the dealer, and they replaced the faulty part within a few days. They wouldn't let me have a courtesy cat so was left hanging around the dealers for a few hours. All work was under warranty so no cost to me. Three weeks after the Modulator fault I was washing the car and noticed tiny rust spots...

306 XS 1.6i nippy car only group 5

Advantages: Very cheap second hand XS has good spec
Disadvantages: Electric windows on older cars

...I purchased a 306 XS 1600cc, this model is the sporty edition with semi bucket seats, high spec interior and sports exterior, and it cost 3k. My car had 45k on the clock and had two owners, i had driven my mothers car the same model and was impressed by the acceleration of this car, especially in lower gears. The XS had more go in it than most 1.6's will have in a car this size and i estinate this 90bhp engine to reach 60mph in a little over 11 seconds. That is fairly good and from 0-40ish it goes as quick as most things on the road. Just as all small french cars, 1st and 2nd gears have the most torque and this is what makes it fun to drive. Yes, i am a 21 year old who likes to have fun behind the wheel. I have since bought some 16 inch wheels for the car and they set it of a treat. I have had it services for a little over...

Confessions of a Pop Group

Advantages: buried treasure unearthed
Disadvantages: none if you buy it

...Almost impossible to approach as a normal pop record ,this is the sound of a group overstretching their muscical ambitions and narrowly missing greatness ,what is certain is that this was not what the British public wanted or expected in 1988,corporate consumerism had entered music like never before and the publics appetite for bland ,sterile ,disposable rubbish was insatiable ,Stock ,Aitken and Waterman reigned supreme and the standards which had been set in the previous two decades had been eroded in the face of big business and had been made to look deeply unfashionable ,this might explain a distinct lack of anything approaching great during that time . So ,this was the climate in which "Confessions of a Pop Group "was conceived ,following on from the Councils least succesful album "The Cost Of Loving ",which displayed a complete...

RMC GROUP - Building A Successful Businesses

Advantages: Good Effiecient Comapny
Disadvantages: Too Big in Size

...RMC Group. What can I say, they are massive in the building industry. My firm probably spend between £1.5 million - £2 million every year with them. They offer a wide range or services and products, and they do a very good job of deliveries and all round service that they provide. As an employer they pride themselves on quality and offering JIT (Just In Time) which enables them to complete orders on time. This is very helpful towards their employees, because they have a very good system in place it enables them to follow guidelines and procedures so that the work is done correctly and the customer is satisifed with the final product. The Reps for RMC are really good they look after everyone who deals with them and also all their staff. The reps are the front of the business they deal direct with everyone and they make...

clio1.2(debt free) to focus 1.6(mmm debt)

Advantages: heated windscreen, smooth ride, the fact that its not a clio(always good i find)
Disadvantages: its not as responsive as i thought it would be, got a big behind and not in a good way

...the ford focus is the most reliable car i've had, out of two. i've owned the car for just over a yr now and the only money i've shelled out was for the service, six months tax, and new brake pads(may have abused them slightly). so i can have no complaints espacially after my first car witch didn't have much going for it; if you can imagine driving around with a scarf held underneath the sunroof to stop it from leaking(i know you're screaming fix-it, but i'm so lazy) and a patched up paint job down the whole door from some t*t taking a key to it. specs of mee focus 1,6 zetec. 5 dr, petrol, heated windscreen, elec. windows, chunky ass cd player, lexus lights, 96 bhp(why not 100). the interior is quite good, nothing great. the zetec model has a silver finish on the centre console, it has.....wait for it 3 cup holders, a power output...

Focus 1.6 - A fun stylish serious car.

Advantages: Comfortable, spacious for passengers, driver and lugage. Nippy and stylish.
Disadvantages: Its not the ST170 and its not the RS.

...My 1.6 is one of the late early 2001 models and it is a pleasure to drive it was second hand and had two previous owners, I'm not sure how they treated it but when I picked it up it was in pristine condition which to me says that it is a fairly hardwearing car. Its smooth lines and contours make for a slightly sporty look as well as the memories of the Rally focus in all its glory tearing up the WRC. It is a very smooth ride with fantastic handling so if you are a little heavy on the peddle it has the strength to compensate. Acceleration is good and you through the range of the 5 speed gear box, and at the other end of the scale the brakes are hot too mine only has discs on the front and Drums on the back but there is plenty there to slow down the 125 horses that kick out of the engine. If you are into modifying cars then...

Removal Group - Added Value

Advantages: extra services price hassle free
Disadvantages: none whatsoever

...only just signed up to write about this company to explain what a delight they were to do business with. I was contacted by paul out of the blue after filling a form on a few websites several weeks ago. he asked if was interested in a survey to calculate the size and cost of my move as i was moving to another area in bangor. three days later a wonderful lady named eve came over and spent the afternoon going through the survey (packing options etc) over a few cups of tea! the price for my move was very competitive but the whole service offered by the removal group was the key value that made me side with them. The move itself went as well as can be expected, the removal company were polite and couteous. i would deffinately recommend the removal group to anyone interested in moving...

I have to use GroupWise

Advantages: user friendly, easy to use, desktop and web client
Disadvantages: may take much system memory

...I have known GroupWise for 2 months since my office does not allow to use Outlook(Which is the one I use at most time). GroupWise is a type of office software provided by Novell. It?s mainly used for email as well as calendar, instant messaging and documents management. It is cross-platform software, which can run on Windows, Linux and Netware. I?m using it in Windows XP for my work. GroupWise can be installed as desktop client or be accessed through GroupWise WebAccess. They both have user-friendly interface and provide pretty much same functions. As mentioned above, these functions include: Email: Apart from no alert for desktop client, the email function is generally fine. Messages can be written in plain text or HTML and can be encrypted. Emails can be organized by rules. The junk mail handling system is quite good and it...
