March 6, 200719 yr comment_166820 what do you think?? http://www.carsales.com.au/new-cars-in-sto...matchallpartial 5 cyl, 2.5 lt turbo, 6 speed..... hmmmm I kinda like it, even though it is a ford.... Lesley :P Report
March 6, 200719 yr Author comment_166828 well, it's got one more cylinder than mine, 1 more gear than mine, AND 0.7lt's on my car (plus I scared myself when I looked at the speedo), I'm not ashamed :P plus it's 166kws at the wheels!!! Report
March 6, 200719 yr comment_166838 Err... it's 166kW at the engine, not at the wheels. Still, that whoops the Corolla Sportivo Turbo's 115kW (standard) at the engine. Report
March 6, 200719 yr comment_166863 It also has 320nm of torque which is available from 1600rpm all the way up to 4000rpm. No wonder a can of whoop-ass was opened up on you Lesley :P Edited March 6, 200719 yr by Raven Report
March 6, 200719 yr comment_166864 Oh yeah , i was seriously thinking about gettin one but i'm in enough debt allready :P Report
March 7, 200719 yr Author comment_166870 There's no way I can afford one now... but perhaps (in 4 years) when I insist on hubby getting a "real" family car, ie the supercharged TRD Aurion to carry the midget kids around in, I can say, since you're getting a new car, "the rolla's been great, but I think it's time I get that little Ford Focus :P Lesley :hmm: Report
March 7, 200719 yr comment_166876 New Focus= Torque steer and tyre wear city!! I know its a Ford "f@$k-arse", but its damn wicked!! I'm glad to see that car companies are still willing to make small cars with too much power!! Tho I'd still prefer an S3 Quattro!! :P Report

I'm glad to see that car companies are still willing to make small cars with too much power!! Tho I'd still prefer an S3 Quattro!! :P Apparently they don't torque steer due to traction control or unless you nail the throttle out of a slow corner then you'll feel it a little bit. The thing that cracks me up is it uses 11.8L/100km lol. And its a small car? Report
March 7, 200719 yr comment_166895 I love the wheels. There is a corolla painted in that orange colour on this site too, and he put pics of the focus up Report
March 7, 200719 yr Author comment_166900 I did some phoning around...insurance is about $60 less per year than my car ($559) for rego, it's classed as a 6 cyl, so rego is I think about $660 a year....I'm going to have a sneak peek at one today or tomorrow.... :P Report
