overall i say two massive thumbs up.....best money i have spent on the car.....which was the last amount of money i spend on the car....i want an XR4 or XR5 now....6 months will be taking the plunge!
Nope - Just you happen to park on my shortcut to work ;) I think I may have seen your car again this morning (not on the street though...) and I think you were just getting to work (door open).

Either way, everyday at 8.50am I'm spotting your car :

I think I know what you mean - save up for something better. That's what I decided to do with my Fiesta Zetec. By all means a great car, but I just couldn't understand why I'd keep throwing moolah at the car... only to never have a 'better' car.

XR5T is a nice choice ;) I'm tossing up late this year, early next year [only because of my Kms on the current car...] between the XR5T, Mini Cooper S (Turbo - Waiting to see what JCW does in July :1syellow1 ) and Megane 225 Cup and hopefully the Clio 197 Cup. What to do :Up_to_som

Global Close feature. Available on the Focus LX (I think), Zetec and XR5T (well, it was...).

Press and hold the unlock button to open all four windows whilst walking towards the car to 'vent' the hot air. Can also close all four windows at once whilst walking away from the car too...

Pretty cool feature IMO that I hope come on all future XR5Ts

Haha yea. I only saw the right door of the car (it was open) from the road... and considering I owned a Fiesta I know exactly what the door looks like. I think you were like the 1st or 2nd car once you drive into the complex....
