See what happens when you tell us more info!!!!
Back to my original post, it's just like salespeople. find a good one and tell them everything important and they 100% honestly should show you the right car. I know I used to, it was something I prided myself on. Even taking the car to their house in the test drive to let them fit in garages, fit golf clubs, prams, you name it.

They are all good cars but being a Ford mechanic I would go for a gas Falcon as they are cheaper to run than a Focus. Ford are running out some good deals at the moment. If you know anyone that works for Ford they are having a special offer to their friends or anyone they recommend with really good prices.

My Falcon is now worth about 1/3 of what it's new price was and it is only 4 years old. But if your mum loves driving a Falcon it sounds like she knows what she wants. Has she test driven all of the options you have given?

New Focus for sure. Seems about the right sort of car for the times.
