So yesterday and today I test drove a few different cars.
Matrix xs 2.4 , nice car but boring to drive.
Jetta 2.5 , to pricey with options
Mazada 3 2.0, nice car but i hate the front end, the interior is nice.
Fusion 2.5, new model comes out soon so never mind.
Focus se 2.0, with sport package.
Well of the cars i drove the jetta seemed the fastest but once you start looking at the different packages its more then my wife deserves.
I was really impressed with the new focus, its definitely bigger on the inside and the seats are very comfortable and have good lateral support. The dct is better then I thought it would be, the shifts are very smooth and the sport mode holds the gear longer and shifts in the redline.
The handling is good, the car corners very flat but it also soaks up the big bumps nicely. The power is still not great but it is definitely faster then my 08. I took it on the highway and i was surprised at how quite the car is at speed, even at over 120 the rpms are low and the car has no problem passing.
So it looks like I'm going to pick up a new car tomorrow, just have to decide what options to get.
Sport package for sure.
