    agallag's new ride

    For those of you not following the MURC keyfob thread, pictures of my new car are here: http://forums.murc.ws/showthread.php...116#post520116

    If anyone is in the market for a small sporty car with decent power (160HP), awesome handling, and plenty of cargo room, it's highly recommended.

                      Very Nice. Quite similar to Ford Focus which isnt a bad thing at all.

                          Yes, I fit quite comfortably. Much better than I fit in my old Accord. Plenty of leg and headroom. The tilt/telescoping steering column helps a lot.

                              Nice ride!!

                              Can't wait to have enough money to fix or even possibly replace my old junker.

                                  Maybe I should look at that one when it comes time to replace the Impala.. I still don't like the centre consoles, they give you less legroom

                                      It's actually based on the same platform as the upcoming '06 Focus, and the current Volvo S40/V50. Ford owns most of Mazda, and I think all of Volvo and Jaguar. I think the engines are unique to each brand though.

                                      This car was built in Japan, so build quality is quite good.

                                          Go test it out for sure. However, you're a bit taller than me, and I don't have a whole lot of clearance, so you may be disappointed. If you leave out the sunroof, that'll give you a little more headroom. I'm all legs (38.5" inseam), so headroom is not a problem for me.

                                              The new European Focus, the Mazada 3 and the Volvo S40/V40 share the same platform called the C1.

                                              The US Focus is still based on the old C170 platform.
                                              Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?
