The battle wagon is in good hands now. Should only take a week to repair. Itās getting more difficult to find parts for my car these days but the sensors shouldnāt be a problem. Iām now in a Kia hatchback something.
You know those dreams in which you try to run, but itās like the floor is thick goo? Thatās what driving this Kia is like.
Our old Patrol was like that. Non turbo diesel. First and second gear was okay but third was like you'd driven into a puddle of molasses.
My brother purchased a trade-in Focus ST really cheap while He was waiting for his company car. It was horribly uninspiring to drive.
When he got his company car (first a Ford Ranger that had uncomfortable seats, then a Ford Mustang that also had uncomfortable seats, until finally a Focus RS, which didnāt hurt his back, but were so comfortable that he couldnāt get out of them), he gave the ST it to his Wife. She said āI donāt know why anyone would have purchased this car new. Unless they didnāt take it for a test drive and and just assumed it would be as good as the RSā.
For a few months they had two cars, the fastest Focus that ever existed and the slowest Focus that ever existed.
