Its time for my second blog as part of the Choose your own adventure series and yes I am blatantly selling the ice berg Ford Focus Titanium but I love her and this is a honest review so it’s all okay –yes? and just to adhere to the rules the word is comfort which is fine because if I could I would move in to the car and never leave..she is comfortable and she listens to you…I am currently determining which will be more affective when I return her pleading or a tantrum to keep her.
So this is what happened when husband first got to meet the newest addition to our motoring family.
I can’t wait for you to see the car I said to him. I love her I said but how good she is depends on whether you sit in it comfortably. Yeah he said that doesn’t really matter he said it would be your car and so it was settled you know if I was to ever win lotto to be able to buy her. I doubted he would both win lotto and fit in it. Not only a Holden man husband is also 6ft5 with a size 18 shoes we have trouble fitting him into shoes let alone the little pocket Rocket affectionately named Josie.
It’s pick up day husband has flown in from work and I’m feeling extra pretty in the Ford Focus Titanium which has become an extension of myself I pulled up at the airport arrivals lane. I called him on the blue tooth streaming on the phone to let him know we had arrived just in case he hadn’t spotted up us in the Ford Focus (but I am sure he couldn’t have missed us given the smile that had spread across my face.
I stopped but didn’t get out of the car due to the security there is never time to get romantic. There is never ever an Officer and a gentlemen reunion here…ever. He jumped in the passenger seat and instead of the long embrace I of course I look straight to the amount of head room he had. He wasn’t hitting the roof of the car in fact he had more clearance room than I thought beside if there was an issue we could always open the sunroof always a solution to a problem.
The seats are leather I said and the driver’s seat is electric and if you want to get real fancy they can be heated. Right he said pushing every button possible all awhile by passing the instruction manual that lay on his lap. The seats are comfy he said of course they are a sport seat with leather inserts and you have plenty of room in the front for your legs always a impending problem for him. Yeah he said as he turned and looked at the back seat…I wouldn’t okay in the back he said no you wouldn’t I said but they can’t take into account every genetically mutated human that’s 6’5ft with a size 18 shoe. If they did I said the Shak would be there mascot and this wouldn’t be a hatch back it would be a minivan and you and I wouldn’t be having this conversation. I don’t and never will do a minivan.
Yeah well it’s a typical Ford he said. Why is what I said trying to determine if it was sarcasm or not. Well they have everything you need at on the steering wheel or in your sight. Like a cockpit, I like that. I looked at him this was indeed my husband but the words coming out of his mouth weren’t right. My husband has always been a Holden Man. And for those that aren’t Australian let me clarify. There are three types of people in Australia…Team Ford, Team Holden and Team not worth talking about. I am a Team Ford have been since my father brought his first F100 when I was a girl. It’s the equivalent of choosing a political party; its serious business. My husband when we met was team Holden…the car he owned when we met was an HQ something… then a commodore I need not say more. .
The interior he said is nice. It doesn’t look cheap and plasticy. The air con is dual control that would come in handy for your mum. That was something I hadn’t noticed. And I really like the fact it’s got air bags in the front and sides he said opening the sun roof and that’s you know comforting. You don’t know how much they help in an entrapment he said off handily. I looked at him listening because when home his other job is a fire man which far too often involves cutting people out of cars. And it has ABS braking? He asked. Yes I said and it has emergency break assist; I knew that because the man at the car yard told me but it just feels solid and safe I said to him I haven’t been in many little cars that felt like that wouldn’t crash like a can in a accident. It almost feels like your in a sedan but not..yeah he said..
It’s a Ford and It suits you a lot is all he said as he faced the front ready for the 90 minute drive home.
We didn’t have a deep and meaning full about whether he is a converted Holden man. We have another four weeks to do a to have him swap teams and so there was plenty of time for that but if he is honest I doubt if I even need that.
So let’s get political just this once but stay nice are you team Ford, team Holden or team something or rather?
