New Car

I am now the proud owner of a 2006 Ford Focus SES ZX4! Yippee! It's a very dark metallic gray, very shiny and pretty. And it drives amazingly. Everything is adjustable, the seat is adjustable three ways, steering wheel, everything. I've never been so comfortable in any car (or so comfortable driving any car) as I am in this one. I actually drove all the way home by myself (and that is the first time I've ever driven alone) without feeling uncomfortable.

 

We test drove two, one was a used black one from 2005 and the second one was this gray one. I got behind the wheel of this car and fell in *love*. Seriously. I had to have this car. The car ended up being $1000 more than was on the sticker because Ford changed the rebate. But my grandad managed to get them to pull some strings and get the price down some. Grr. :wacko: But I have my baby. :(

 

We left the dealership and I got to drive it home, but we got about a quarter of the way home and my grandad realized that we didn't have 1) the owners manual and 2) the spare key. So we had to go back. We got them and everything was fine though. :blink:

 

After everyone spending about an hour examining the car, I drive home, my mom decides to follow me to make sure I make it home safely. and then she goes to the store. I get home fine, but don't have a house key. I realized it halfway home, then got to watch my mom drive by me waving happily while I have to sit on the porch and wait to get into my house :wacko:

 

I'll post a picture when I get around to getting them off my digital camara. :o

I didn't like the hatchback, I found it to be odd looking. And they only had three, a silver hatchback, (which was stick shift anyway) a red one (metallic blood red) and this lovely "liquid gray metallic" :lol:

 

They had a 2005 but it was all scratched and stuff, and the new car smell was worse than in the new one. (new car smell makes me sick). Besides, it was not nearly enough.

 

I hope I didn't act too excited around the salesman. I completely forgot not to once I test drove that car (I seriously am in love with this car. lol)

Congrats LW!

 

I have a friend with a Focus and she loves it too. One reason why is one you mentioned: very adjustable seat. She is very short... :D

Lol yea. I'm 5'7 (average height is 5'6) but in most cars the seatbelt still cuts across my neck, AND my knees get caught under the steering wheel. Ugh. (my seat belts and steering wheel are also adjustable. YAY!)
