"Yawn yawn yawn"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing as of yet.

General comments?

Not as good as it is made out to be. Uncomfortable, hard seats, you sit too high so you feel like you're in a 4x4, dashboard WAY too big - seems like miles of plastic in front of you, you can't see the end of the bonnet.

Too quiet - so no idea of what's going on under the car, engine dull and lifeless, no character whatsoever.

However, good ride, handling excellent, very brisk well laid out dash apart from the size.

I don't think the styling is that dramatic - it just looks like another modern car - YAWN.

Some people are never satisfied, they probably have not made the car for you yet. Did you not test drive or look at the car before you bought it? Or did you get it in a lucky dip?

I had a Focus when my car was been serviced, and I totally agree!

The dashboard is huge meaning you cannot judge too well where the front end is - and I'm 6'2"!

I much preferred the Golf I was lent last time, and cannot wait until the Mk5 is released in 2003 - PRAISE THE GOLF!!!
