Played golf with a mate yesterday who has just paid £11K for a quite tidy zetec focus.
After the golf he came round for take out and we went out in the Zs to collect it.
He was dumbstruck that a car like mine could be had for what I paid for it - and quite frankly afterwards commented that he has been overpaying for his cars for years ... Getting a newer one then having to deal with the depreciation etc.
Mine will be worth what I paid for it for ages - if not more - so depreciation doesn't come into it. Our cars are past the depreciation stage and condition is everything.
I spent 6 days in Scotland with te the family and the dog in the summer. Somedays we spent 6-7 hours travelling and we went in the wife's 11 plate Meriva diesel auto. Cumfy, frugal, spacious .... it did the job perfectly. I wouldn't have dreamt of going in the ZS - but I wouldn't just have the Meriva.
It's all about what suits you and your needs at the time. In my view, if you've got or want a sensible car and want to balance that with something fast, fun and cheap, the ZS is perfect.
