Look what we bought today

[Guest]

I'm so excited we pick it up Tuesday evening (our old car is the same just 2 door and squeeze green) we're getting the xguard pack which protects the paintwork and interior it's only done 3047 miles and is like a new car, we both love it, I especially love the colour my missus chose the last one (not that I didn't like it but blue is my favourite colour)

[Mr Bowcat]

Very nice, is it an ecoboost?

[Guest]

No they wanted a grand more for that and I thought our old one was a little under powered at times so a 1 liter would be even more underpowered ( not that I drive fast just up hill is a bit lacking)

Nice colour - same as mine! Hope you haven't got the built-in satnav - it's rubbish.

Actually it was what we thought a bonus, ours told us we had reached our destination 9 miles away we had to phone them

What was your old one, the 1.25? The 1.0 ecoboost actually has 20bhp more.

I recently changed from a straight six BMW 328 to the 100ps ecoboost. I'm missing the power of the BM, but loving the economy from the little Ford. Plus free road tax is nice.

I like the blue you've chosen there Ken, very smart. Those royal and deeper blues polish up very nicely.

[Guest]

Thanks Joe yes we love the colour, Bob ours was the 1.25 I'm surprised a smaller engine has more power, how did they do that, wish I'd known that.

Nice choice. I love the colour

The 1.25 is quite old tech, plus the 1.0 is turbocharged. They also do a 125 ps 1.0 litre, but the 100 ps is more economical.

Very nice Ken. I too like blue.

I test drove one and asked the salesman if it was a 1.6 or a 1.8 - I was gobsmacked when he told me it was 1.0!
Mine's a 1.5 diesel though, does around 66 mpg.

I had a fiesta in 2009 when they just got bigger, I loved it, but I like Fords, I'm sure you will enjoy it, and you don't have to wait long, I ordered a new car 4 months back, I've still got to wait till the end of June before I get it.

Well those luxury cars are in high demand, what is it, a roller or mabey a Bentley, no I think you're probably an Aston type man.
