Wheels 2003 - SRi vs Focus
-
awesome, thanks for scanning these :D
(also, they got 14.5L/100km for the astra!? they must've been thrashing the shit out of it!!)
-
I remember this one not long before I bought my TS turbo convertible, but for starters it's hardly a fair competition LOL because the turbo XR5T Focus wasn't released yet, so the TS turbo would have it all over the normal Focus...BTW over optimistic they were with the prediction of the turbo vert as AFAIK no more than 240 were sold in Aust. they were just predicting by the remarkable sales of the N/A variant, all the better for me, the lesser there are the more unique they are :)
Also the TS turbo hatch took out Motors Bang For Your Bucks competition around the same time...

shouldnt the st170 be compared to the 2.2 sri? to me that would have been a more fair comparison
-
Love to see this comparo 3 years later. Comparing the 170 to the SRi T isnt a proper comparo
They are in the same price bracket though.

Not really, that was the hottest Focus at the time (baring the RS not available in Oz).
Plus the fact the ST was $10 more.

on a price comparison maybe. but the astra turbo was a great car for the money. still seems a little unfair
-
having driven both, the astra far faster, the focus better handling and more fun to drive (as standard)

Was disappointed when I lost that magazine years ago. Thanks!
