The Zed's replacement

[Ritchy]

i like the mazda purely because its a wolf in sheeps clothing, 4wd too, remember first one i ever drove at work, i thought okay lets ee what this can do, so pulled away from idle, and thought was oh not much different to the spo...ffffffeck turbo kick was awesome and planted, not got the same rumbe as the st though, you should hear the rs driving through the showroom sounds brilliant n growly, same as yours will with the remap and zaust

I only have driven the 1.(summit, think it was a 1.8) focus hire car i had for a 300mile trip. Could not get used to the driving position, and while i am sure the car corners really well, i could not get any confidence in it.

I am 100% sure that would\could be altered with getting to know the car more, but it really did not feel as planted as the ZS did. Also it being a nasp petrol i found it 'hard work' when pressing on...

I really have no idea what i will get as a replacement* for the ZS... am liking the XF's though, but they are getting quite common a sight now.

* by replacement i mean 2nd car that will be better suited for a family, as the ZS will be with me til i die (or so is the plan ).

looks like a cracking motor mate, the five cylinder lump ford stick in there is basically a Volvo engine, there quite reliable!

A great place for tech support on these models would be the ffoc forums, members are very helpfull on there, i`m a former member myself so know the score!
