The more I was looking at changing cars in the past year the more I began to have lists of issues for nearly every car Had been looking for anything 2 - 5 years old between 5k - 20k and probably spent more hours on the internet researching horror stories than i'll spend in the car driving
Its a dangerous game mate, it would near put you off buying anything. You have to remember its usually only the horror stories online, not the thousands of other potentially positive experiences people have.
what about a focus rs, im sure they can be picked up sub 25k, more than enough power for our roads and bit more room for family and look very well in white
