I drive a 13!year old Z, but I can still dislike a Ford, if I choose
I like fast Fords, the engineering spec on the new RS is right up-there with any of the competition and current top end Focus/Mondeo interiors are very nice places. As for the 'chav' image well that's subjective, some people might see an old Z4 lowered with spoilers, skirts, and red Honda seats as, well,... you get what I'm saying 
:wink:
:wink:
I'm sure it's a cracking car to drive and the performance and road holding will be tremendous but pops bangs fireballs and that shelf on the back window?
Maybe years ago I would have liked it, but the M135i is a better bet for this old git! Only a pity that BMW haven't got a 4wd version with auto!

You're perfectly entitled to like whatever you want.
But to say a car is chavvy reeks of elitism.
As another member said, i'm sure a lot of non car people look at Z4's and think you and I look like a chav or boy racer.

Very tetchy indeed.
Am I the only one who doesn't think £30k is affordable? Especially for a Focus!

But I never said anything about 'chav'. I said it was aspirational to rep drivers. Hell that's why Ford build such cars..
I just can't believe anyone would waste £30k on a focus. You can do better for your money, but everyone is different - thank goodness ...

To have a GT-R in the shed, I think I could forgive the 6k mile service interval
Although, a used Bently Continental GT does look like a monster buy at £30k.

Yep but Bently Continental's are driven by slightly richer Chavs.

and that's a lot cheaper than the Focus.

How the other 99.9% live
Well I drive an ///M, which everyone knows is god's own car with the engine of an angry shower of angels in it - I have no idea what I'm doing in the 'Other Marques' forum as, by my definition, it is clearly inferior. I'm off - you can all get on talking about, well, whatever really :roll:

How about one of these for the daily drudge.

Sub 30k, 316 bhp & to my humble eye looks far better than the last one.
What's not to like?????????? :!:
no good quality auto for us cripples ?
