I still have my Ford Focus, not as fun to drive as the Abarth, but its more comfortable and is used for long trips.

Theyve got loads in to choose from if your going secondhand, its good to see all the colours in the flesh rather than from a picture. Was there a week ago and they must have 20 at least.

Might also be worth looking at a few AGP's or EVO's as you will find that the 500 is quite a bit smaller than the Fiesta..

Enjoy your test drives! :thumb:

Like you I went to Glasgow first and had a quick test drive, didnt buy then.  Then went to Edinburgh dealer a few months later and got a really good deal fom them.
