Power to weight is almost identical to the E89 (179bhp/ tonne) but the Ford is so much more linear in the way it doles out the power. As it is FWD, it does have torque steer if you go silly, whereas the RWD of the Zed, with the wider rear tyres, creates less drama in a straight line or accelerating hard off, say, a roundabout.
The way the Focus grips is pretty amazing. Either the PS4s are the best tyres ever made, or the Ford boys have sorted something, or a mixture of both I don't know; but confidence inspiring it definitely is.
The ride is also very comfortable; considering it handles so well.

I really like my "racing lorry" :D :driving:

Yep. And a tidy 22.7% profit in 4 months; try getting that without drug dealing :thumbsup:

Aah the old Austin Aggro. I had a girlfriend once who had one of the last Aggros. I drove it a couple of times; it was as bad as they made out :thumbsup:

The square wheel was revolutionary - it only took Peugeot 40 years to adopt it :rofl:
