It is front wheel drive so depending on what you are doing with it... it may or may not be what you want.

If you're looking at a top of the line Focus and base model Mustang, yes. It's not hard to get a $100k Mustang though lol. There's a Mustang GT350R sitting at a local dealer and they're asking $172k for it. on the contrary you can get a base line Focus for $14k. Even in the UK you can get an ST-line for around $21k.

If your from the US don''t even bring up the fact that he could get this over that, our insurance laws in the UK are ridiculous. I pay 1.2k a year for a 1.6 petrol Ford Focus. Stop being arrogant and understand that we can't afford to insure a v8 or v6 muscle car.

it's even more expensive over here lol we're not talking no third world countries boooii

Honestly, looks pretty nice and worth the price tag. Personally would get a Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 Evo VIII but thats just me.The insurance on this type of car will be pretty expensive no matter how long you have been driving or the amount of no claims you have built up.

Yeah the car itself is affordable but the insurance has tried to sting me with the price haha

Im gonna keep looking around.

Can't comment on performance, but a relative has a 1.0 titanium which is practically the same chassis and interior. Really comfortable to drive and has nice optional extras.

Can't be that bad if people in some states find themselves with an older mustang as a first Car or a truck with a massive fkoff engine haha. UK is deffo the worst for insurance.

Although the insurance on an ST-Line is still likely to be quite high, again depends on age and amount of years no claims. An Evo would be much more expensive on insurance as it's classed as a "sports car" although the ST-Line is a 2.0 too, it's also a TDCi , granted it's an ST-Line it's still being recognised as a somewhat "family car" with it being the 5 door model.

Go for a mustang.
