Macktheknife Xtreme Xalted Member Donating Members 3,112 Member For: 22y 5d Gender: Male Location: BrisVegas Posted 12/08/03 03:52 AM Share Posted 12/08/03 03:52 AM Focus,Yep, got one.The CS hatch (in Machinery Silver) for SHMBO. Purchased at the same time as my T. Great little car, fantastic handling, great brakes, easy entry and exit (Important for the Gals)It's the auto so you get the 2 litre standard. Funny though, as it rates the same KW as the 1.8 but a few more NM,s. Not outstanding in the performance stakes but a nice all rounder with plenty of good European design points.Bad thing: The alloy wheels that come standard with the CS. I tell ya, ya gotta allocate a bloody half hour (and crook knees at my age) just ta clean tha wheels.Got a good deal also on account of the fact that I (or the leasing co.) was paying top line for the T. $2300 discount to be exact.So yea, somtimes I can focus, an somtimes I can pocus, so if you think that's alotta hocus...........I'll go back to work immediatly sir....

Ditto Member 10 Member For: 21y 10m 2d Location: Melbourne - South eastern Posted 12/08/03 07:09 AM Share Posted 12/08/03 07:09 AM I don't know want you mean about throb, but if you mean running rough (ie: like 5 cylinders ) then yes. This isn't consistant and not only on cold start but warm start as well.After about 30 seconds or so all is OK.
