Recommended Posts. LucyC Posted August 10, Posted August 10, Hi everyone, We are looking at buying a Galaxy, the shape. Is there anything we should really check out on these?

Both hatchbacks. Was concerned that the Ghia would be heavier on fuel heavier car plus 1. Daisy Reply Report as offensive Link. The Ghia's the one with the CD isn't it? Sounds like a better bet all round - better interior you say so maybe looked after better generally.
There shouldn't be rust "inside" on a Focus so maybe you should avoid the Zetec. The Ghia should be on'y very slightly heavier than the Zetec, and with the same body the 1. Good luck! Even better, if you have the time, woudl be a Zetec with the 1. But, even so, having to get a car in a time span is not the best way to buy one. Cheap enough to hire one for a short period rather than buy now, regret later. If you can get the train down to London: www. So the Ghia is a 1. Good choice, the Focus is great to drive with a superb reputation.
Re rust on the inside, have you seen it? Where on the car is it? Go for the Ghia, better spec and better condition, the 1. It is true that the 1. I agree with everything that cheddar says on this one. Right of these two and on basis of apparent condition and history, 1.

If the latter, it may explain why he is keen to shift it though I prefer the earlier version anyway! And when I bought mine I realised that the interior update and the equipment increase was very welcome! Just wanted to say big thank you to everyone who took the trouble to respond. In the end I decided to go for the Ghia and am picking it up tomorrow.
