Civic v FaceLifted Focus

lee_g3 · 8th December 2007, 19:12

Just bought Issue 990 of Auto Express, and the Civic still won over the face lifted Focus that comes out next year. Can't find any links to the article on their website yet.

Actually, just found the review here:

I saw that magazine earlier...face lifted but still ugly and dull. No competition to be won, methinks

Is this the face lift you are talking about?

Civic still looks better..

Do you think that the owner would be careful when opening his doors, parked next to a Civic.

I was only in the shop 5 minutes

and someone did this to my car, they didn't leave their details

what are those step things coming out the bottom of the rear bumper?

the only use i can think of is a step for extra hieght when cleaning the roof

1st of all - that Focus is horrid...! How and why would you do that to a perfectly good Focus! Standard alloys... and the Ghia badge still showing.... jesus!

And the Focus - my mum has had one since 2001 (Y reg), and it is still lovely to drive! Even better - nothing has gone wrong with it.
I've told her she is going to get one of the new ones next year! So when she does I will have a good drive and let you all know!

I read the review, they were critical of the Civic, I was actually surprised it won.
